“Strom as Eleanor, is gorgeous, professional and more than ready for big-time witchery — say, along the lines of Mrs. Danvers in “Rebecca”? And by the way, every member of the cast can sing and dance up a storm.”

Backstage West
“Strom, with her snooty sneers and model sashay, squeezes every ounce of humor from her lines, delivering them with an obnoxious attitude that makes us love to hate her.”

LA Times
“Melissa Strom has fun as selfish stepsister Eleanor, whose contribution as a self-proclaimed great artist in the making is her macaroni-and-paste re-creation of the ‘Mona Lisa.’”

Sherman Oaks Sun
"Melissa Strom gives a strong, very funny performance as Eleanor, especially during "Fab-u-lous", when she's getting ready for the ball. It's a scream, and her dress is to die for."

The Mooche
“Ms. Strom is the delight you love to hate as she flounces about the stage in her blue denim banana pants, her peasant blouse and her perpetually black mood ring.”

Burbank Leader
"Melissa Strom grabs her chances and flies. It offers five professional performers, all of whom are triple threats - singing, acting and dancing their way through 1975."

The Mooche
“Her stepsister is the most obnoxious of species, the most
popular girl in school. Eleanor sings a cute little song called Fab-u-lous that reminded me an awful lot of Stephen Schwartz’ Wicked anthem Popular.”

Tolucan Times Canyon Crier
"As the manipulative, devious Eleanor, Strom brings a brash, over-the-top charm to the role."

Tolucan Times
“Cindy suffers harsh treatment and the hands of her manipulative step sister Eleanor (Melissa Strom.) Strom makes Eleanor a younger sweeter J Lo.”

Sun Community Newspapers
“Bitchy nasty Eleanor (Melissa Strom) is a teenaged diva who feels it is her god- given right to boss poor Cindy around, making her do all the housework.”
