DADDY LONG LEGS

International City Theatre

Intelligence, perception and equanimity are the hallmarks of Jones’ portrait. Even as she blossoms under the warmth of an education, her Jerusha is no bright-eyed, eager beaver, but pensive, and highly inquisitive. Through Jones’ work, one sees Jerusha’s sense of feeling isolated and different.
- OC Register

Jones as Jerusha sing[s] emotively and excellently, sustaining the complex notes of [her] songs […] Jones expresses Jerusha’s growth beautifully through her singing.

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.
