High Spirits

Andrea Bianchi seizes her moments without strangling them.

Off the Hook

Best of all is Andrea Bianchi as the ambassador's wife. She's got a perfect Julie Andrews British accent and snobby demeanor. How Bianchi tries to stay awake after she's accidentally taken that sleeping potion is one of the funniest moments of the season.

Florida Today

Lend Me a Tenor

Bianchi is particularly funny as Maria, ranting and raving with Italian abandon. Bianchi's movement shows a touch of Martha Raye and is like none other you've seen on stage before.

Star Ledger

High Spirits

Andrea Bianchi is hilarious as the maid who's constantly running lickety-split across the stage.

Broadway After Dark

Being Audrey

One particular standout is Andrea Bianchi doing multiple character roles with well nuanced old-movie character accents.

New York Times

Smart Blonde

Yetta Cohn is portrayed with benevolent toughness by Andrea Bianchi, who is also highly amusing as the writer and actress Ruth Gordon.

Princeton Packet

Off the Hook

Andrea Bianchi is fun to listen to and especially fun to watch.

Stage and Cinema

Smart Blonde

Bianchi in particular comes dangerously close to stealing the show, portraying everyone from Betty Comden to Marilyn Monroe.

Princeton Packet

Crooners

The role (of Sophie) is beautifully played by Andrea Bianchi and, interestingly, she steals the entire show without singing a note.

New York Stage Review

Smart Blonde

Andrea Bianchi demonstrates strong comedic talent as she moves from Betty Comden to Ruth Gordon to Holliday's communist -lesbian lover, Yetta Cohn; and finally and unexpectedly, Marilyn Monroe. As someone who spent time around Betty and Adolph and Ruthie, let me add that these impersonations were most cleverly accomplished.

The Patriot Ledger

Godspell

Andrea Bianchi is a delightful dynamo who can belt a song to the rafters and can dance the daylights out of any number.

Southside Pride

Babes in Arms

The performers are wonderful notably Andrea Bianchi as Baby Lou. Way Out West is the first time we hear Bianchi's amazing delivery.

Bill Zapic

Madison

As the actress, Madame De Touraine, ANDREA BIANCHI is a comic delight, both physically and in the delivery of her lines

Peter Felicia of The Star Ledger

Crooners

Andrea Bianchi gives Sophie the imperious veneer of a pro determined to make her mark on the world, but has the soft underbelly of a teacher who genuinely loves and cares about her students. She's said to have been a popular band singer, and Bianchi has such style even in the way that she sits that you believe it.

Curtain Call

Being Audrey

Andrea Bianchi brings a vivid sense of humor to her many portayals.

Talkin' Broadway

Smart Blonde

For her part, Ms. Bianchi does show some real comic chops and mimicry skills, and her few moments as Ruth Gordon are quite funny.

The Star Ledger

A Chorus Line

But the one singular sensation is Andrea Bianchi.

TheatreScene.net

Smart Blonde

Bianchi's Ruth Gordon is worth the price of admission. It provides a witty comic highpoint of the evening.

The Boston Globe

Godspell

Andrea Bianchi, who delivers a dead on impersonation of an elderly Jacob, gives Godspell a comic boost.

New York Times

A Chorus Line

History aside, no one performer has put an intimidating imprint for all time on any of these roles. Here, Andrea Bianchi is a splendidly dear Diana Morales ("I felt nothing"); look no farther.

Westfield Leader

Humbug

Ms. Bianchi is especially memorable.

Talk Entertainment

Times Square Chronicles

The Hour

Loot

Home News Tribune

Off the Hook

Sarah Carstairs is deftly played by Andrea Bianchi with wit and stiff upper-lip determination.

Palm Beach Post

Shooting Craps

Andrea Bianchi's Joanna is extremely winning.

Theatremania

Where the Sun Never Sets

Andrea Bianchi's Annie hilariously morphs from liberal lawyer to a conservative spewing hatred.

WMNR

Loot

Andrea Bianchi is thoroughly attractive in this role of both sex object and predator.

Light and Sound America

Smart Blonde

Andrea Bianchi juggles various Great Women of Show Business, including Comden, Marilyn Monroe (who shows up to compare dumb-blonde poses with Holliday), and -- in a wicked, sketch-comedy turn -- a pushy, gesticulating Ruth Gordon.

The Star Ledger

Off the Hook

Winner Best Actress NJ Season-Bianchi for Off The Hook.

Florida Today

Don’t Dress for Dinner

Andrea Bianchi as the mistress embellishes her role with fun and stage business. Her strong stage presence enables her to take an otherwise smallish role and bring it to the boil.

The Star Ledger

Madison

Andrea Bianchi almost steals the show as the French actress who's been told she's a star and assumes that must mean the sun.

Hollywood Reporter

Smart Blonde

Bianchi delivering particularly amusing vocal impressions of Ruth Gordon, Ethel Barrymore, and Marilyn Monroe among others.

Curtain Up

Babes In Arms

Baby Lou (Andrea Bianchi)an aggressively peppy entertainer who reminds you of Ann Miller with a hefty dose of Liza Minelli. Way Out West features Bianchi doing Merman to end all Mermans.

The Star Ledger

Humbug

Returning from last year -- but somehow even better this time around -- is Andrea Bianchi as The Ghost of Christmas Present. Bianchi is a corker of a Cockney. Looking somewhat like a pre-"Rain in Spain" Eliza Doolittle with a touch of Lucy Ricardo thrown in, Bianchi dispenses her justice with comic abandon. Her little victory dance is worthy of Rumplestiltskin.

The Catskill Chronicle

Shout, the Mod Musical

Gwendolyn's voiceover is done (hysterically) by Andrea Bianchi. Standout songs include Andrea Bianchi's rendition of the searing "I Couldn't Live Without Your Love"
