Selected Reviews from Mamma Mia!

Kristie Marsden beautifully enacts Sophie. Marsden is a splendid package of youthful exuberance enriched with dramatic gusto.
- Orange County Daily Pilot/LA Times

Marsden is excellent in the lead role. She has an elastic voice that bends to the needs of each tune, instead of delivering every song in the official, approved, American theatre style of generic belting
- Fort Worth Star-Telegram

As Sophie, Kristie Marsden carries a lot of the vocal demands of the show and makes a heroine worth rooting for.
- Seattle Times

As Sophie, Marsden is energetic and engaging, and she seems to be in the middle of every production number”
- Minneapolis World Herald

Kristie Marsden plays the daughter, Sophie, and her performance Tuesday was amazing. The native of British Columbia mesmerized the audience starting with her first appearance onstage. Her energy and voice led to a night to remember.
- Iowa City Press Citizen

Kristie Marsden make s for a simply adorable ingénue. She’s dark haired, pretty and effervescent, as she flounces with ernest glee. Her acting and singing is first-rate.

Kristie Marsden turns in one of the show’s best performances and is appropriately bubbly and endearing as Sophie.
- Cincinnati Enquirer

Kristie Marsden’s Sophie is played with equal parts fear and determination. She delivers!
- Iowa Gazette

Leading the cast is the stellar Kristie Marsden, and Monique Lund, as her mother. Their voices – the peppy pop princess and cool mezzo diva, respectively – are exceptionally paired.
- Memphis Times

The dark haired Kristie Marsden is perfectly cast as Sophie. She has a strong and pleasing voice and is particularly charming when wedding jitters have her dreaming of a trio of fathers and a chorus of young men in flippers.
- Louisville Courier

Kristie Marsden sings and acts the role of Sophie with style and class that fits right in with her lovely voice and gorgeous figure. Her talents shine when she sings “I Have a Dream”, and especially in scenes leading up to “Name of the Game” where she sings and acts with courage and determination, to one of her possible dads.
- New Orleans Chronicles

Marsden does a brilliant job of playing the lovable Sophie. It is interesting in “Name of the Game” to see how the meaning shifts from an ultimatum given by a significant other, to asking him if he’s her father because of the inflections Marsden puts into the song.

Selected Canadian Reviews

But it was Kristie Marsden who stole the show with her sizzling personality and her never-faltering enthusiasm. Finally, in her one solo, she came close to stopping the show with her dazzling voice. Surely some producer with an eye for tomorrow will stop and see this enchanting performer. Put down Kristie Marsden as one young entertainer who can’t fail to reach the top.
- The Confederation Chronicle (”Somewhere in the World” at the Confederation Center)

Teenage actors Kristie Marsden and David Hurwitz get to enact all the joys of young love with strong vocals and sweet dance sequences.
