ASHLEY FORD certified reviewer June 14, 2018
Wow. Laura Jo Trexler's vocal stylings are perfection - in the vein of Sara Bareilles, Jessie Mueller and Sara McLachlan. The show itself was romantic, innovative and funny! Wonderful artistry. Soulful.... full review

Amazing, creative interpretations of Shakespeare's most intriguing women! Laura's voice and incredible piano playing paint these characters for us in a way that is both real and extremely dramatic - just as they're supposed to be!... full review

This one woman act is phenomenal. It starts out really good with some amazing singing and piano, but in the last half, she goes above and beyond with super intense character change ups. It blew my mind. Each character she played while singing and playing the piano was like an entirely different person. It’s weird to see acts like this and wonder why the actress isn’t on the big screen. This act was, so wow!... full review

Simply put, Laura Jo Trexler is glorious! This show is almost unreal in how good it is! This is a Broadway level performer tackling some of the most complex characters in all of theatre and doing so with original material. What stuck with me the most, beyond the clever and captivating songs that capture a side of The Bard's heroines never seen before and the brilliant talent Trexler has as a musician is that this is an actress who could play all of these roles! That's damn near impossible to find!!! Go see this true talent now while you can!... full review

CHRISTOPHER PIEHLER certified reviewer June 17, 2018
This show bills itself as a romp, and that is spot on. The songs are funny, sexy, sad, and in the case of Lady M, terrifying. Play On is a testament to the power of one woman and a piano.... full review
DREW PETRIELLO certified reviewer June 18, 2018
Laura is a fantastic musician, but moreover I was very impressed with how she boiled down the essence of each character she covered in her songs. It was a fun and moving time and I recommended to the Shakespeare nerd that likes to bop their head.... full review
