Theatrical Reviews
"Mallory Kerwin plays Ethel Merman and she is a delight. She has the voice, the line delivery and the physicality down so well, at times, you would swear shes channeling the Queen of Broadway herself. She understands that Merman was never small, never timid, and and never meant to disappear into the background. Kerwin leans into that larger-than-life presence without loosing control of it"
D Wesley Spencer, Ph. D- Palm Springs Tribune
"Mallory Kerwin portrays Paulette with such splendor, tenacity and grit, that she is that character audiences can't get enough of. Kerwin's vocal range is phenomenal and she is a standout in her song Ireland"
Angela Hatcher- Orange County News Enterprise
"Kerwin's Merman carries the show. She exudes so much energy you would swear shes plugged into a hidden power source. Quick with ad-libs and armed with a terrific voice, she somehow manages so to change into six different costumes while spending only moments offstage".
Stan Jenson- Stage and Cinema
"Then there's Mallory Kerwin as Ethel Merman. Kevin describes her performance as boisterous, outrageous, hilarious and absolutely unforgettable. With a booming voice, a sharp wit, and just the right amount of chaos, she is comedic, and singing gold."
Kevin Mann- NBC Palm Springs
"It has to be acknowledged here though, that the viewer could probably very easily enjoy a show entirely surrounding Kerwin's Paulette. Larger than life does not begin to cover it, belting out her song "Ireland" [...] She is a shining jewel in an already radient show"
Thom deMartino- Orange County Tribune
"Mallory Kerwin fully embodies the office floozy Hedy LaRue from her curvaceous physicality to the way she can flash her eyes to let you know exactly what she is thinking without uttering a word, generating lots of laughs."
Sherri Barrett - Broadway World
"In the Huntington Beach production, the princess is both large of frame and gorgeous of face and figure. Mallory Kerwin jumps into this plum role with both feet and puts her powerful vocal cords to maximum use in stellar solos such as "Shy," "Happily Ever After" and the aforementioned "Swamps" number. She is a joy to watch."
Tom Titus - LA Times
"Kerwin, […] did a fantastic job in capturing the vibe of the very studious, attractive, but flighty character Louise.
She is a versatile actress when seeing on stage as she can channel both a comedian and a serious actress, leaving audience members wanting for more.
Although this was her first time at the WCT, she will no doubt be welcomed for other productions with her classic charm and hilarious acts"
David M Loza - El Paisano
"Mallory Kerwin is not to be missed as bombshell Hedy LaRue, playing this over-the-top role with verve as her voluptuous character, simultaneously clueless and savvy, also aspires to get ahead."
