- Karyn Ashby, Chicago Stage and Screen (Miss Bennet: Christmas at Pemberley)
Christine Trevino

“…actors Byczkowski (Sophie) and Whitney Dottery (her friend, Yasmen) are finally given a highly-charged and active scene in which to play – and it’s electric.”

Barbara Vitello
“Whitney Dottery is endearing as the over-caffeinated, eager-to-please, ever-resilient T.C., who struggles to find her way back from a life-altering experience, which Dottery recalls with heartfelt simplicity.”
- Barbara Vitello, The Daily Herald (Naperville)
Rikki Lee Travolta
“Whitney Dottery is an absolute star as Gary Coleman. Her mugging and twinkle-eyed smile is the perfect tribute to the late child actor. Diff’rent Strokes fans will be thrilled with the accuracy of Dottery’s magnificent performance. Dottery is not just a one trick pony. She has one of the most dynamic voices… and she knows how to connect with the audience too. Her delivery on ‘You Can be as Loud as the Hell you Want (When You’re Making Love)’ is as good as being at a Tina Turner concert.”
- Rikki Lee Travolta, Life and Times (Avenue Q)

-Colin Douglas. Chicago Theatre Review
