in the press
"Alaina Wis handles the role of Elle... with talent and charisma aplenty. Wis is a phenomenal triple threat who is fun to watch and a joy to hear sing. Wis clearly can carry a show."
"Alaina Wis is a marvelous Elle. She looks the part, can sing and dance like a Broadway star, and has great chemistry with everyone on that stage."
"Alaina Wis as Elle Woods is steel wrapped in cotton candy. Near-perfect comedic timing, a wide vocal range and a great dance performance make Elle sweet but not cloying."
