“The range Ms. Douglas exhibits, vocal and emotional, could make a cynic believe in Santa. She lives

inside the music, lives for the music, it is joyful and a beautiful sight to behold.” - Stephen Mosher, BroadwayWorld.com

“Douglas is the kind of performer who is hard to review, because she's so undoubtedly talented and

good at what she does - the singing, sharing, entertaining, all of it - and frankly how can my words do her music justice? They can't: she has to be seen to be believed.” - Karis Rogerson, BroadwayWorld.com

“Extraordinary. A true force of nature, she squeezes a phenomenal amount of material into the evening. Yet by the end, you simply want her to carry on into the small hours.
