Chuck.Chuck.Chuck.:
The Village Voice (February 17, 2009)"Unusual dance numbers, set to live folk music, add emotional punch. Their choreographer, Liz Vacco, also steals the show as Vardaman Bundren, the young son whose neurotic stammering becomes the centerpiece of the play's meditation on death."

TheaterOnline.com (February 2009)
"Although there isn't a weak performer in the company, Siobhan Towey as daughter Dewey Dell and Liz Vacco as youngest son Vardaman give particularly memorable performances. Vacco – who also served as choreographer for the show – affectingly portrays Vardaman as a youngster who is unable to comprehend the implications of Addie's death."

Paul Pry:
The Troy Record (March 10, 2003):"At the heart of the production is Liz Vacco, the gentle but not powerless Gerda. She is the image of youthful innocence... Vacco offers a sensitive, wide-eyed performance that is astoundingly physical. Her battle scenes with the Snow Queen's minions are among the most memorable scenes in the show."
