PRESS REVIEWS/QUOTES
PURLIE
“Tonya Broach as Luttiebelle, Purlie’s
fake cousin, is a real treat. The youthful Miss Broach has an amazing sense of
comic timing and a terrific voice…”
- Herb Hammer…..The Times
THE WIZ
“the roles of Aunt Em and Glinda were
beautifully sung by Tonya Broach.”
- Kelly Ferjutz…..Artscleveland.com
SEUSSICAL
“The big-voiced Tonya Broach
melodically jumps as Sour Kangaroo.”
- James Damico…..The Cleveland Free Times
OPAL
“Halle Barnett and Tonya Broach are
most humorous as the Gossip Sisters.”
- Kerry Clawson…….Akron Beacon Journal
BEEHIVE
“Broach showed off her powerful voice,
reminiscent of Mariah Carey's seven-octave range, hitting a high note that was
off-the-charts.”
- Rick Hause……Parma Sun Post
LITTLE
SHOP OF HORRORS
“Chiffon, Crystal and Ronnette, the "Doo
Wop Girls," also known as Caron Wykle, Ayeshah Douglas, and Tonya Broach, have
three of the best voices in Greater Cleveland's theatrical community today. The
trio have so much fun on stage, they make you want to be up there with them.”
- Rick Hause….Parma Sun Post
SMOKEY
JOE’S CAFÉ
“Director Kevin Joseph Kelly actually
has assembled a cast that includes some true powerhouse singers, led by the
excellent Tonya Broach.”
“Standouts included the fabulous Broach in the cool, bluesy Hound Dog (originally made famous by Big Mama Thornton) and Fools Fall in Love.”
Kerry Clawson…..Akron Beacon Journal
INTIMATE APPAREL
"In this production, she is supposed to be unattractive. Yet, she succeeds in
attracting three other characters. Broach is responsible for carrying most of
the script. She seldom leaves the playing area and is a major player in every
scene.
David Ritchey.....West Side Leader
