Amélie (2025)

“Sonia Goldberg, one of Chicago’s finest musical theatre performers, splendidly portrays waitress Gina Wells, along with others. Her lovely, heartbreaking ballad, “Window Seat,” describes her pining for a long lost husband.

— Chicago Theatre Review

“Perhaps the strongest song of the bunch is the jaunty “A Better Haircut,” as Suzanne, Georgette, and Gina wonder if Nino is worthy of someone as special as Amélie.”

— Third Coast Review

“Standout moments include Act Two’s trio “A Better Haircut” sung by Sonia Goldberg, Mizha Lee Overn and Samantha Ringor, who marry the blast-to-watch quirkiness of the production’s best moments with musical skill, humor and heart.”

— NewCity Stage

Into the Woods (2024)

“Sonia Goldberg is alternately funny and passionate as the Baker’s Wife.”

— Chicago Theatre Review

“Goldberg…brings considerable humor to the role while also knowing how to pluck more than a few heartstrings.”

— Third Coast Review

“Standouts include…Sonia Goldberg in a deeply felt, powerful rendition of the Baker’s Wife... ”

— INTO

“Kevin Webb and Sonia Goldberg as the Baker and the Baker’s Wife…carry the production in my opinion. They give strong, solid emotional performances. You can’t help but root for them... ”

— Splash Magazine

“As the Baker and the Baker’s Wife, Kevin Webb and Sonia Goldberg are a wonderfully convincing married couple…Webb has a tightly wound take on the character that compliments Goldberg’s grounded and bossy-by-necessity approach to their character. Both are wonderful singers…”

— Talkin’ Broadway

“That huge reaction came, I think, because of how emotionally invested these two musicians appear in the show itself, feeling and living the bones of the score and also willing on the actors …profoundly moving. I felt much the same way about…Sonia Goldberg’s The Baker’s Wife.”

— Chicago Tribune

American Psycho (2023)

“I was especially taken with Sonia Goldberg, who plays Jean, and who listens intently and offers up the only heart that seems to be beating.”

— Chicago Tribune

“Also providing head-turning performances are Sonia Goldberg as Patrick’s soft-spoken secretary who is filled with hidden emotions.”

— The Life and Times of Rikki Lee Travolta

“Sonia Goldberg (Leading Player in Music Theater Works’ “Pippin”) turns in another accomplished performance, this time as Jean, Bateman’s gracious, helpful and loving secretary.”

— Chicago Theatre Review

“Sonia Goldberg is lovely as Patrick’s secretary Jean.”

— Broadway World

A Midsummer Night’s Dream (2023)

“Regal”

— New City Stage

“In both mortal and fairy personas, Latterell and Goldberg are perfect.”

— Chicago on Stage

“Hippolyta is having none of it…the queen flips off her husband-to-be as she leaves the stage. Then, her fairy double gives the duke’s supernatural counterpart, Oberon, a taste of his own medicine…Really, this version should be subtitled ‘Titania’s Revenge.’”

— The Chicago Tribune

Pippin (2023)

“The brilliant Sonia Goldberg, making her MTW debut, is magical and a little frightening as the Leading Player. “

Chicago Theatre Review

“Dynamic…”

The Fourth Walsh

“Goldberg’s voice has the needed commanding stage presence that lets you know she is in charge.”

Chicago Theater and Arts

“For Music Theater Works the role is played with sass, devilish charm, and sinister smiles by Sonia Goldberg. She is a powerhouse vocalist and actress who captures the audience right away and never lets go.”

The Life and Times of Rikki Lee Travolta

“Anchored by a charismatic, slightly-to-overtly menacing Leading Player (a captivating Sonia Goldberg)”

Chicago Reader

“Goldberg starred last year in Theo Ubique’s Once Upon a Mattress, and again takes center stage in the role of Leading Player, originated by Ben Vereen, leading the production throughout. 

Both Ripperger and Goldberg have phenomenal vocal skills, and show them off throughout.”

Buzz Center Stage

Once Upon a Mattress (2022)

“Sonia Goldberg as Princess Fred, meanwhile, commands the room whenever she is onstage, practically holding the audience hostage with her masterful comedic chops and a singing voice like a brick wall. “

Rescripted

“Princess Winnifred (Sonia Goldberg) runs to every corner of the stage with bursts of energy and keeps our eyes drawn to her. She rolls her eyes and throws meaningful glances at the other royal subjects on the stage as she deals with the prince’s overbearing mother.

Winnifred belts and shimmies during Happily Ever After. She croons like the best of them singing about just wanting to find love and happiness.”

Picture this Post

“My reasons must be clear- if you see this show, you will fall in love with a girl named Sonia! Sonia Goldberg wowed the audience in the role of Princess Winnifred (or simply Fred). Her confidence, extraordinary belt and ability to play off each of the various characters was unmatched. Both my guest and I agreed that there was something incredibly familiar about Goldberg, a natural charisma that worked in her favor as it took no time at all to convince the kingdom (and audience) that she was "the one." Goldberg's ability to play such a dynamic heroine is a testament to her skills as a performer. Brava!”

Broadway World

“Sonia Goldberg is sensational as Princess Winnifred. I’m quite sure this actor’s pitch perfect belt can be heard all the way out onto Howard Street. And Ms Goldberg mines every ounce of comedy from her role, giving Winnifred a modicum of honest sincerity when its needed.” 

Chicago Theatre Review

“Her energy is wonderful, vocal range stupendous and being in an intimate “cabaret” theater we get to see her face-wow!” 

Around the Town Chicago

“From the first time we see Fred, sauntering into the palace draped in swamp weeds after having swum the moat—the drawbridge was too slow for her—Goldberg’s confidence and genuineness, not to mention her tremendous voice, has won us over.” 

Chicago on Stage

Twelfth Night (2021)

“Sonia Goldberg is an absolute stand out as Malvolio. In a version of the play that leans into anarchy, Goldberg anchors things with a deeply human performance that garners empathy without at all compromising the tremendous fun of the plot hatched…”
