"Choreographer Ilyse Robbins, as usual, has devised dance moves that simultaneously fit with and elevate the production: a buoyant combination of styles and coquettish poses that leverage the visual possibilities of the women’s long skirts."
Don Auction - The Boston Globe

​

"Award-winning choreographer Ilyse Robbins deserves special mention for her work here, not only in her creations, but in utilizing and showcasing the strengths of each performer, while keeping the show fresh but grounded in the period."-Emily Brenner - Stage and Cinema

 

"Big applause to the director, Maurice Emmanuel Parent, and the choreographer, Ilyse Robbins, both of whom added the sparkle and zest needed to underscore some of the natural humor and make this rendition fresh and clever.  Special wink and nod to Robbins for paying homage to the original Gower Champion work during “The Waiters’ Gallop.” The dancers were extraordinary, with an athletic prowess that was breathtaking." - 

 Jacqueline Parker - Times Square Chronicles

​

"Robbins takes full advantage of the dancing talents of Girard and the rest of the ensemble (Miki Grubic, Sean Kiem, Alex LeBlanc, Hannah Shihdanian, and Tader Shipley) to produce some awe-inspiring dance numbers (including some ballet-infused pieces), and the choreography alone is worth the price of admission." - Theater Mirror - Mike Hoban

​

"Ilyse Robbins’ choreography is delectable, filling the theater with a near-constant undercurrent of cheer." - New England Theatre Geek - Maegan Bergeron-Clearwood
