News & Reviews

Tanesha Ross is radiant as Eshie, a strong presence and silken voice...definitely a standout in this cast.. A vocal powerhouse coupled with striking beauty, it could have been called the Eshie Willington hour...~Seattle Pi

David Friedman’s songs are perky and catchy...which Tanesha Ross, as Nicolette, takes particular advantage of, with her blooming, acrobatic soprano just on the border of opera. ~Seattle Weekly

...and Tanesha Ross as Nicolette deliver strong, believable performances...her performance here displays a strength and range that you’re sure to appreciate. ~ Seattle Traveler

Radiantly lovely and vocally skilled Tanesha Ross gives a committed, heartfelt performance as the title character...You can feel actress Ross' delight when her character escapes captivity and passes herself off as a male Troubadour. Ross and Kacergis sing their big love duet "Now and Forever" with the sort of grace and vocal gusto that served Rodgers & Hammerstein ballads so well back in the day... ~Talkin’ Broadway

Tanesha Ross, who plays Eshie, has a voice of penetrating beauty which shines in the song "The Gift." But Ross also brings a boundless passion to her Eshie, that passion spilling out in such numbers as "He Had Not Love." ~ Everett Herald

Broadway/National Tour

Tanesha Ross, playing Dionne, belted out the song with appropriate power, a hint of both the joy and tragedy to come

~ Daily Camera

Tanesha Ross was sensational in the role of Dionne and got the musical off to a rousing start leading "the tribe" in "Aquarius."

~ CurtainUp Review

...and Tanesha Ross (Dionne) ("Aquarius" kicked it!) held their roles in a grip that only pros can achieve.

~ Broadway World

Tanesha Ross, traipsed about the stage with a funky urban charisma. She ably sang the key number with steady grace, proving herself a very watchable stage presence.
