Ashley Ruth Jones embodies this wry and clever character physically, musically and psychologically.  
- Beachcomber


Ashley Ruth Jones is relatable, heartfelt, and inspiring [... she] is excellent at portraying her persona’s burgeoning individuality by capturing a breadth of feeling that is of impressive and affective range. Jones is also able to get across very discrete sentiments when uttering the words of a single letter that she is writing [...] or when she uses the beautifully clear coloratura and vibrato in her voice.
 - LA Excites

Jones is a vibrant, impetuous, and eminently lovable Jerusha. She anchors the production with a solid vocal performance and brings the audience with her every step of the journey.
- ShowMag

Jones is delightful vocally as she portrays the naive young woman’s budding interest in learning and frustration [... her] spirited transformation from unsophisticated miss to confident young woman gives the story resonance.
- Arts in LA

Ashley Ruth Jones and Dino Nicandros are brilliant together singing flawlessly and passionately to tremendous effect. [...] When they are together as Jervis and Jerusha, they move together in subtle, synchronous choreography. And once again, their singing is glorious and deeply moving.
