“The bouncy, sorority-sister Greek chorus (Amber Whitaker as Serena, Jordyn Mitchell as Margot and Haley Tromblee as Pilar) is absolutely delightful and gives much of the show its dynamic jolt…the Greek chorus is led by Amber Whitaker.”

“Amber Whitaker, playing the oldest, Liesl, is only a few years past 16 herself, but she's got decades worth of talent. She's an expert singer and can really dance”

“Another Act I highlight is the sprightly “Sixteen Going on Seventeen,” the delightful Liesl-Rolf duet done by Amber Whitaker and Max Robnett. He is very theatrical and showy, and she is more shy, but swooning in love. Their intricate dance is charming and expertly poised.”

“K: I also want to shout-out Amber Whitaker’s performance as Race. She was animated, and constantly engaged with ensemble members in moments that helped establish her character as a fun-loving rascal.”

“Other members of the company more than worth mentioning are Topher Elliott and Amber Whitaker, who have the most beautiful moment onstage as they respectively play young Scrooge and Emily...the pair were radiant together, with voices to match.”

“It’s also a special show…for Moline High graduates Krianna Walljasper and Amber Whitaker… Amber was Lorraine in the MHS production that was performed just once for the public, before being shut down by COVID. It must be so satisfying for them to let loose in this new production — their enthusiasm is darn infectious.”
