Alison Weisgall, a high-cheekboned beauty with a sterling voice — Charles Isherwood, New York Times

 

Weisgall has a haunting, bruised mezzo belt . . . All the performers, but particularly the women, sing for longer periods than you would think humanly possible.

To call Life and Times “monumental” feels paradoxical, since the show’s subject matter is decidedly mundane. Yet Nature Theater of Oklahoma has found a way (or, rather, multiple ways) of elevating the prosaic to monumental heights.

Nature Theater has quickly risen to avant-garde royalty . . . Alison Weisgall’s crisp vocals especially serve the show’s schizophrenic combo of extreme theatricality and banal monologue.

It’s not always easy playing a woman in SorkinWorld, but Alison Weisgall makes Galloway an immediate, forceful presence.

Alison Weisgall and Doug Harris . . . lead a thoroughly stellar cast . . . Overzealous and righteously determined despite her iffy track record in the courtroom, Weisgall’s Galloway is unflappable yet deeply human. Weisgall’s studied performance is as grounding as it is engaging, and her stalwart showing is one of the more memorable aspects A Few Good Men’s plenitude of highlights.

Weisgall’s portrayal of Galloway is sensational and empowering. Despite being more petite than the domineering military men she shares the stage with, Galloway stands tall and proves herself a true hero in this plot.

Alison Weisgall (Claire) brings a breath of authenticity to the production. It’s no difficult task to see the talent she exudes in her supporting role. Weisgall became one with the environment and the world of the play, a given constant which to me was never questioned. It is truly rare to see an actor “fit” precisely into not only the role, but the play itself like a piece of a jigsaw puzzle and I applaud her work.

Alison Weisgall plays Laura with quiet strength rather than cloying fragility.
