Circa's Exuberant "Mamma Mia" an Island Paradise
"Portner — who co-starred in Circa’s last holiday musical, 'White Christmas' — is simply superb as our young, perky and cute protagonist. She’s smart, sensible, relatable and just a delight to follow through this buoyant journey that’s both light as a feather and as weighty as a justifiably life-altering choice."

"Caroline Portner winningly portrays Judy, Betty's warm and chatty sister. Portner is also a newbie to the QC, though experienced in regional theatre and off-Broadway. It takes a talented performer to play one, and she makes Judy instantly likeable."
