Damn Yankees

“Amy Marie McCleary ratchets up the heat as a vampy temptress. Her burlesque approach to Whatever Lola Wants is vocally and comedically powerful.

                    - Drew Sterwarld, The News Press, Fort Myers, FL

“Amy Marie McCleary, who plays the pivotal role of Lola, the devil’s top temptress and homewrecker, was sexy, sultry, and steamy in her terrific rendition of Whatever Lola Wants.”

                    - Di Saggou, River Weekly, Fort Myers, FL

“Lola, played brilliantly by Amy Marie McCleary, tries to tempt young Joe to hold out a little longer in his agreement with the Devil so he will lose his soul and become part of the “dark” team. Amy’s great dances moves and sultry voice are the highlight of this play.”

                            - Edith Tide, Splash Magazine, Fort Myers, FL

“Amy is the most fluid, sensuous woman I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch perform and to see her as Lola . . . amazing."

                -  Bekki Shanklin, Soar Gallery Online, Fort Myers, FL

Cabaret

"I kept hoping for some kind of spark from the stage, some show of decadence or even naughtiness . . . that doesn't happen until Amy Marie McCleary (also the show's choreographer) comes on stage as Fraulein Kost . . .

McCleary captivates everytime she's onstage, demanding the audience's attention. She's bold, rough around the edges, and completely unapologetic about her sexuality.

She's what the entertainers at the Kit Kat Klub should all be like . . .

And I can't help wondering why (the) director . . . didn't cast her as Sally Bowles, the female lead. That's a role she really could've suck her teeth into, and the show would've been so much the better for it.

“A number of supporting performers make this production terrific, including . . . Amy Marie McCleary as Fraulein Kost"
 
                 - Jane Holahan, Lancaster New Era, PA

“If anyone gives emcee Ramsey a run for his dirty money it’s McCleary, who not only choreographed the show but plays Fraulein Kost, the strumpet who lives down the hall from Sally and Cliff. McCleary really sinks her teeth into the lascivious character.

I can’t help wondering what she might have done with Sally Bowles.”

                   - Drew Sterwald, The News Press, Fort Myers, FL

“Amy Marie McCleary . . . gives a perfect performance in her role as Fraulein Kost. Her fine rendition of the infectious, yet unervingly chilling Tomorrow Belongs to Me was overpoweringly devastating.”

                    - Marsha Wagner, The Islander, Sanibel, FL

“Amy Marie McCleary was a standout as Fraulein Kost, the boarding house lodger who barely sees a sober moment as she tries to entertain every male stationed in Berlin. She has a lovely voice which was evident in a reprise of Tomorrow Belongs to Me.”

                      - Di Saggou, The River Weekly, Fort Myers, FL

Peter Pan

“ Praise is also due to Amy Marie McCleary . . . for her kinetic performance as Tiger Lily.”

                    - Drew Sterwald, The News Press, Fort Myers, FL

“ Amy Marie McCleary is fun and vibrant as Tiger Lily.”

                    - Jane Holahan, The New Era, Lancaster, PA

"Amy Marie McCleary is a quadruple threat; she sings, she acts, she dances and she choreographs. She makes quite an elegant figure as Mrs. Darling . . . 

                     - Nancy Stetson, Florida Weekly, Fort Myers, FL

A Chorus Line

Amy Marie hits the mark as a glossy, impertinent, ruefully aging and very funny chorus gypsy called Sheila, never overplaying the wise-acre element of her character. (A Chorus Line)

A Funny Thing Happened . . .

“The courtesans . . . are shimmying, undulating, dancing girls. Fantasy pin-ups come to life.”
