'Three out of Four Stars'

"Another way to have a blast from the past finishes a two-night stand tonight at the Meyer Theatre... Central is the character Cindy [Erin Cronican], a sweet Laundromat worker whose birthday is miserable... The singing often is zesty and colorful, whether solo, duet, trio or group. Harmonies often ring... After “Shout,” the second encore song Friday night, the audience was standing and applauding."

- Green Bay Gazette, Wisconsin

'If Grease is the word, Suds could be the answer'

" The performers at the Cuillo Centre are so winning and the music so infectious that they are justification enough for the whole exercise. As Cindy, Erin Cronican is endlessly perky, even when her world comes crashing down around her. She dashes thhrough the period's many dance crazes with aplomb and a straight face-- no easy task... The show is entertaining, and when the word gets out, expect 'Suds' to stick around at the Cuillo for much of the summer."

- Palm Beach Post, West Palm Beach, FL

" [The women] are three terrific personalities with splendid voices as they work their way through the 50 musical numbers... every song is upbeat and full of foot tapping energy as they are belted out non stop by the cast... The foot tapping, hand clapping audience couldn't get enough of these fine performers as they responded with a standing ovation at the end of the show... it is a fun show not to be missed."

- Al Price, West Palm Beach, FL

'Suds is just good clean fun!'

" The songbook is a lively romp through the Top 40 hits of yesteryear... Erin Cronican is Cindy, an alto whose pen-pal boyfriend has just broken up with her."

- South Florida Sun-Sentinel, West Palm Beach, FL

" Their joy is infectious and you'll be clapping, applauding, singing and perhaps even want to dance... Erin Cronican is enchanting as Cindy of the Laundromat...Give yourself and your family and friends a treat. Go, enjoy!"

- Condo News, West Palm Beach, FL

" If you enjoy a good sing-along, you’ll love 'Suds.' Everywhere the show goes the locals are impressed by the evergreen hits and the clever moves by director-choreographer Javier Velasco... Erin Cronican is the dewy soprano ingénue... It’s not brain surgery but “Suds” is a concentrated package of good cheer virtually guaranteed to raise the spirits."

- Boca Raton News, West Palm Beach, FL

" The trio has great harmonies with Erin Cronican sometimes taking the high part... Cronican closed Act I with a poignant "I Don't Want To Be A Loser"... If you like your soap opera with lots of ham and syrupy sweetness, 'Suds' is a clean winner. "

- Grand Rapids Press, Byron Center, MI - May 7, 2004

" 'Suds' left a near capacity audience at the Annenberg Theater in a very buoyant mood Saturday...Naturally, we get a happy ending, but the real payoff was the crackerjack quartet of Equity actors, whose suave moves matched their smooth vocals and daringly zany choreography. The result was a frothy confection of pure, tongue-in-cheek escapism that bounced along to the merry beat and left you smiling all the way.

--The Desert Sun, Palm Springs, CA - April 21, 2004

"The cast includes Erin Cronican as the devastated Cindy who goes from despair singing about The End of the World to her much more self-assured These Boots Are Made For Walkin’ . Erin’s expressions, from poutiness to her goggling over Laundromat customer “Mr. Right,” are fittingly exaggerated for this silly but fun spoof...anyone who likes Sixties hits and good, semi-clean fun is likely to have a great time at this Wash-o-Rama. You may never look at your laundry as a chore again… "
