A TALE OF CINDERELLA with NYSTI/Time Warner |
Times Union, by Michael Eck |
Christianne Tisdale is an absolutely loveable Cinderella. She has a plain beauty perfect for the part and a voice magical enough to lure both the prince and the crowd. Sunday she sent shivers every time she sang. In a show heavy with the talk of the stars and their magic light, she is a star. |
The Daily Gazette, by Eleanor Koblenz |
Tisdale is a versatile, sweet but feisty Cinderella. Her soaring soprano thrills equally in solos and in sweet duets� |
Metroland, by James Yeara |
Yet even on a bare stage, in rags, accompanied by an accordion, Christianne Tisdale would make this a memorable show. As my daughter commented, �She wasn�t acting, it was like she was Cinderella. She didn�t memorize lines, she just knew what to say.� Her voice is angelic, filling the theater with songs that can alternately caress the heart of jolt the spine. She has a presence that is genuine�a fragile beauty that becomes the role, yet conveys a strength that is heartening to watch. I have never seen a singer act as well as she does. |

Christianne Tisdale once again plays the title role of Cinderella with energy and excitement, and her spectacular singing voice is showcased throughout the production. |
The Record, by Carolyn Shapiro |
Christianne Tisdale returns as the ideal Cinderella, with a sweet, beautiful face and a voice to match�But Tisdale, rather than rely on the purity of Cinderella�s heart and her pretty smile, allows the character all her anger and frustration. |
Times Union, by Michael Eck |
Tisdale is simply a delight as Cinderella. She�s as angelic looking as her character�s given name, Angelina, implies and she sings like heaven. Her solo turn on �Some Sweet Day� brought down the house at Sunday�s opening. Her �In the Air� was simply inspirational; the most uplifting moment in a very uplifting show. And her duet on �Bells/Mi Dispiace� was wonderfully bittersweet. Tisdale is magnetic when she�s on stage and when she�s off one can�t wait for her return. Christianne Tisdale truly takes a star turn in the role. |
The Daily Gazette, by Eleanor Koblenz |
Christianne Tisdale�is a most disarming Cinderella. Her soaring soprano thrills as she runs the emotional gamut from a childlike prayer to her dead mother, through anger and thoughts of revenge�to tender ballads. |
Metroland, by Ralph Hammann |
Christianne Tisdale is the most radiant presence on the stage�spunk, wit and a welcome desire for a little revenge on her step-creatures. Tisdale plays these qualities with a continual sense of fun and creates the most human of Cinderellas I�ve seen. Delightful as she tosses off her innocently sarcastic barbs, Tisdale�s nontraditional Cinderella also has the grace of a swan and, one suspects, the soul of Anderson�s renowned duckling. If it weren�t enough that her then-quirky, then-lovely smile charms us, her exquisitely controlled singing voice completely wins us over, reminding one of Poe�s silver and golden bells. |
