​"She exudes energy and personality and is simply fun to watch.  Her jump-roping skills are a highlight."
​- Kevin Shaw, Focus Midsouth
"Cassie Thompson as Brownie Wise has a great frenetic sense of physical comedy that reminds you that women of that time period began using diet pills and speed in order to get all their mind numbingly boring chores and lonely housework done!"
- Kim Katz, Buzz New Chicago

"The excellent Cassie Thompson, as Debbie, pulls off a tricky role: PERFECTLY IMITATING the bad acting of the film’s star, Bambi Woods, while saying lines that any respectable actress would find extremely misogynistic."- Chris Blank, Commercial Appeal
"To watch Cassie Thompson chew the scenery as the conniving Miss Hannigan is a delight. Going over the top can be a risky thing, but Thompson (who SPECIALIZES IN ZANY)
has the moves and the voice to make it UPROARIOUS."
- Jon Sparks, Commercial Appeal

​"Audrey, Seymour’s ditzy love interest, is very nearly redefined
      by a FANTASTIC
   Cassie Thompson, who honors Ellen Green’s original performance but still manages to make the part her own."- Chris Davis, Memphis Flyer
" Thompson's
​       ACHINGLY SWEET,
hurt-your-heart funny run through "Somewhere That's Green" acknowledged her bubbleheaded antecedent, but every masochistic moment was her own."- Chris Davis, Memphis Flyer
"Cassie Thompson’s Brownie Wise is fierce, funny and full of charm."- Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
"Cheers too to Cassie Thompson (as exercise guru Brooke Wyndham). Whenever I see her, she's performing with gusto and is always mindful of the details of physical comedy, timing and delivery. Also, she can jump rope." -Jon Sparks, Commercial Appeal
"Forget Bambi Woods. Cassie Thompson is a walking talking Barbie doll with a real gift for screwball comedy, and she does Debbie right."- Chris Davis, Memphis Flyer


​"His love-interest Audrey is not just played but rather possessed by Cassie Thompson whose high-wattage mix of comedy and voice is a sort of amped-up Judy Holliday --
a MARVEL TO WATCH."
-Jon Sparks, Commercial Appeal
