“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.”
“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.’”
“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.”
“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.”
“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. “
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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…”
