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

This is a must-see — Laura is an absolute tour du force + this show defies description, because you’ve never seen anything like it before. ... 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

Very creative musical summation of Shakespeare's female characters in their own voices. A tour de force performance by Laura Jo Trexler.... full review

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

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

Laura Jo is truly an incredible composer, pianist, and performer. With each song, Laura Jo really embodies each character. This hour-long performance flies by – each song keeps you present and immersed in this character's life and story and Laura Jo's compositions perfectly reflect all the goals, dreams, fears, etc of Shakespeare's Heroines. If you ever tell a Shakespeare buff that you don't "get" Shakespeare, they'll tell you 'when it's performed well, you'll understand it.' Well, Laura Jo performs it well... so if you're not a huge Shakespeare buff, you'll still enjoy this delightful, impressive, mesmerizing, entertaining piece of theatre. If you *ARE* a Shakespeare buff, you'll enjoy it even more! I know it's making me want to revisit t... full review
