with Stephen Valenti as Abner Dillon
NEW YORK TIMES
Though her role is more or less that of a villain, Christianne Tisdale is touching as Dorothy Brock, the ill-fated diva.  Ms. Tisdale has a lovely voice...

 

THEATER MANIA
 Christianne Tisdale, whose singing voice is somewhat reminiscent of Bernadette Peters, plays washed up diva Dorothy Brock with great humor and a sense of entitlement.

 

  
TIMES BEACON RECORD
The female heavy of the script is the original star of Marsh's show Dorothy Brock, played admirably by Christianne Tisdale.  She has a powerful voice and an imposing stage presence...

 

THE LONG ISLANDER
Christianne Tisdale as Dorothy Brock shines every time she graces the stage with her presence.

 

BROADWAY WORLD
Rounding out this trifecta of main characters is Dorothy Brock, played by Christianne Tisdale.  Think Uma Thurman in Smash.  She's a great actress who can't sing in a musical, and Dorothy is a great singer who can't dance in a dancing extravaganza...Tisdale effectively channels the extremes of all diva-like behavior as she sashays across the stage but, at the same time, proving that Dorothy still has the pipes in an arresting Act One finale number.
