FUGITIVE SONGS (BoHo Theatre)
“…the entirely entertaining performance by Elissa Newcorn…Her acting was consistently able to put together acting performances that—no matter if her characters were too similar or not—were enthralling. Her emotionally rich performances were the highlight of the show.” –Chicago Stage Standard “All three young women in this cast are exceptional. Demi Zaino (“Lost”), Elissa Newcorn (“Don’t Say Me”) and Charlotte Morris (“Break a Branch”) are terrific, whether laying their hearts and souls on the stage, provoking a laugh or a smile or providing onstage instrumental accompaniment…beautifully performed by a half dozen of Chicago’s finest young actor/singers.” -Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review “Newcorn’s acting is a joy to behold, her jitters a perfect portrait of a jilted ex-cheerleader, now ex-wife. Her delivery is divine, whether she’s her primary characters, a Patty Hearst fanatic, a fantasy in a yellow scarf or a figment in the head of a drug addict robbing a convenience store.” –Ian Rigg, Chicagoland Musical Theatre "Newcorn tears the roof off with the delicious "Spring Cleaning," in which she decides that her man might be the thing to leave on the curb." -Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune |
THE LAST FIVE YEARS (Metropolis Performing Arts Centre)
"Rawitz's staging, together with exquisite music direction from conductor/pianist Charlotte Rivard-Hoster, and the warmth and vulnerability of the show's fresh-faced stars, make this production the best-sounding, most fully-realized show I've experienced at the Metropolis......the well-matched Edmonds and Newcorn, they are skilled, personable singer-actors." -Barbara Vitello, Daily Herald

REEFER MADNESS (Circle Theatre)
"...the other newcomer, Elissa Newcorn as Sally, the sex kitten whose function is to keep Jimmy happy. Her voice rings out like a bell ( another name to remember)." -Alan Bresloff, Around The Town "Elissa Newcorn throws herself into the role of a depraved pot smoker in the pusher’s entourage with commendable enthusiasm." -Dan Zeff, Stage and Cinema "Elissa Newcorn is hysterical as Sally the Reefer Slut." -Craig Gustafson, Craig's Chicagoland Theater Forum |

I LOVE YOU, YOU'RE PERFECT, NOW CHANGE (James Downing Theatre)
"The women belt out the songs with confidence and flair, showcasing their voices and offering genuinely touching or side-splitting moments with solos such as “I Will be Loved Tonight” and “Always a Bridesmaid.” Both Morrow-Schap and Newcorn are sassy and quick with the comedic timing." -Scotty Zacher, Chicago Theater Beat |
