“Anette Barrios-Torres navigates one of the most linguistically tricky roles in musical theatre with aplomb, nailing the various levels of accent and dialect, plus the comic timing, physical comedy and pratfalls Eliza is responsible for, as if she was born for it.”
ONSTAGE PITTSBURGH
“Anette Barrios-Torres is a powerhouse as Eliza Doolittle. She effortlessly transitions from a cockney flower girl to a refined English woman. Songs like “Show Me” and “Without You” showcase the strength and power in her voice, whereas “I Could Have Danced All Night” highlights the beauty and tenderness her voice possesses. Her performance made Eliza feel strong, confident, and sure-footed…”
LATINITAS MAGAZINE
“Mere months into her post-grad career, Barrios-Torres has already solidified herself as an impeccable lead… Her voice is trained to perfection. When she opened her mouth to serenade the audience in a legendary rendition of “I Could Have Danced All Night” I knew I was in the presence of true greatness.”
OK ART SCENE AND HEARD
“The Sound of Music always creates the view of Julie Andrews… and the association has always been indelible... Live performance is always more emotionally evocative, but the skill, vocals and talent must be equal or better to replace such an icon in the mind of an audience member. Anette Barrios-Torres does that in her role of Maria in Lyric’s fantastic production. She is quite wonderful.”
THE OKLAHOMAN
“Lyric has tapped some of its familiar fan-favorite talents to perform some of these familiar fan-favorite songs: Barrios-Torres… charms as Maria from the first iconic high notes in the title theme.”
BROADWAY WORLD
“The principal singers have soaring vocals that are powerful and breathtaking. This musical is like witnessing a dream in real-time... Barrios-Torres is leading-lady material and comic relief as Carrie Pipperidge… There's no denying the talents on stage are unmatched anywhere, and this cast could easily be found on a Broadway stage.”
MEDIA OCU
“Barrios-Torres and Lopez deliver powerhouse and heartfelt performances throughout as Vanessa and Nina respectively.”
