"Erin Mei-Ling Stuart is pitch perfect as Stevie. Granted, she’s the one with the best lines, but she takes it to the max. It’s hard to imagine a better performance in the role, on Broadway or elsewhere."

"But it is Ms. Stuart as Stevie who delivers the most searing work. Beginning in quiet control, she absorbs the revelation piece by piece, her composure cracking until it gives way to fury. Her physicality—tightened breath, shifting posture, the barely contained energy—communicates as much as the text itself, culminating in a performance that is both devastating and unforgettable."
Chuck Louden, Stage and Cinema
"Mei-Ling Stuart operates on a level that screams command performance. It’s not just her emotional reckoning with a shattered home life; physically, she is a marvel, and brilliant in her most angered and peeved moments… But Stuart also displays phenomenal Meisnerian sensibilities as a listener, pushing her reactions to the most organic of places."

"Equally magnificent is the commanding performance that is every minute she is on stage, breathtaking — that of Erin Mei-Ling Stuart as Stevie. Classy, sophisticated, and also full of her own quick wit, her Stevie transforms from a beautifully postured, slowly pacing interrogator trying to understand her husband’s sudden bout of forgetfulness to a slightly smirking with a toss of the head non-believer when she first hears him muttering the word ‘goat,’ to a tornadic whirl of fury as the truth finally sinks in as her supposedly faithful husband describes nuzzling his newfound, four-legged love through a wire fence in the countryside."
Eddie Reynolds, Theatre Eddys
"Erin Mei-Ling Stuart, as a Mormon who’s flown into New York from Utah, conjures a whole life waged in rectitude and hardness — but one with cracks for tenderness to creep in. And when Stuart is Ethel Rosenberg, getting to watch Roy Cohn suffer in the hospital, the twinkle in her eye hints at an ineffable interior pleasure."

"We hooked up with our guide, who introduced herself as Frank (short for H.R.H. Francesca) — but whom some of us recognized as the formidable Erin Mei-Ling Stuart – outside the storied Revolution Café. Frank promised to lead us to a fabled “new city,” evoking Peter Pan as she darted through the busy streets."
Carla Escoda, KQED
"Christine Linde is played so gravely by Erin Mei-Ling Stuart that each plea about a pitiable lot in life registers with battalion force"
