“an outstanding Lisa Kate Joyce”

-The Boston Globe by Don Aucoin

“Talent abounds in this production, but Lisa Kate Joyce’s charming banter as the quirky Squeaky Fromme… were standouts.”

-The Theatre Mirror by Linda Chin

“Lisa Kate Joyce plays Lynette ‘Squeaky’ Fromme with a perfect blend of youthful guile and the insanity and menace she honed as an intimate of Charles Manson and member of his murderous “family.” Her pairing with the comically gifted Shonna Cirone as Sara Jane Moore…is inspired. As is Joyce’s surprisingly sweet duet with… Hinckley, on ‘Unworthy of Your Love,’ a song that, were it about a benign couple, might have pop-hit potential.”

-BroadwayWorld by R. Scott Reedy

“The rest of the ensemble, when not manipulating penguin puppets, switch between various silly townsfolk personas, filling the world with color and joy. Lisa Kate Joyce stands out for her particularly dynamic performance as the Poppers’ vaudeville agent”

-The New England Theatre Geek

"The performances from Miyagi and Joyce have a stylized feel that fittingly recalls actresses of the 1930s… Joyce brings an energy and verbal dexterity that wouldn’t feel out of place in a screwball comedy. Barbara is the best written character, and it is clear Joyce is enjoying bringing this saucy, flirtatious character to life. A scene in which she seduces Long’s Hastings is a hoot."

-The Conway Daily Sun by Alec Kerr

“Lisa Joyce’s characterization of Princess Winnifred is not to be missed! The rough-and-tumble princess’ contagious energy shines as she swims the moat for her first meeting with her prince and uses her dancers’ ability to fully express Winifred’s shenanigans.”

-Buzz Around

“Lisa Joyce heads up the cast as Princess Winnifred, a role originated in 1959 by Carol Burnett. She delivers a no-hold-barred performance that keeps the laughter rolling with full-body comedy, outrageous antics and vocals that are wonderfully over the top on ‘Shy’ and ‘Song of Love”.

-Maine Today by April Boyle

“Joyce’s performance sets the bar for the show, and she does not disappoint. Her vocals are brilliant, moving from sweet and gentle, to belting, without a hitch. Joyce is a natural comedian, and her comedic skills and timing are en pointe. Joyce modulates her performance perfectly so that her acting does not evolve into slapstick. When Winifred shows up and sings her first number, ‘Shy’, the audience is hooked and left wanting more.”

-Seacoat Online by Laurel Vincentio

“The witty humor of the script was also highly enjoyable. Particularly, Lisa Joyce (Zoom)’s comedic timing and adroit performance lent a textured realism to her character.”

-New England Theatre Geek by Diana Lu

“The cast has many stand-out performances… *(Augustus’) mother is played to delightful comedic effect by Lisa Joyce who seems to have a sixth sense for making children laugh.”

-Broadway World by Andrew Child

“Each of those entrances is usually closely followed by birdbrain secretary Helen (an adorable Lisa Kate Joyce), whose squeaky Brooklynese makes you feel like you’ve stumbled onto the set of ‘Guys and Dolls’.”

-The Conway Daily Sun by Margaret McKenzie
