NEW ENGLAND THEATRE MIRROR
'Elena Ricardo plays Peter here and she soars, capturing the childlike amazement and innocence of the boy who vows to never grow up. The role is demanding, but she successfully navigates the physical and vocal gymnastics with ease. Did that operatic passage really come from that tiny pixie?'

demonstrating a wide range of emotions.'

recital or debating smoking pot, she is believable and honest during her downward-then-upward spiral.'
