“What truly makes this story come alive is the ensemble…[and], Laura Quinones, – they are dynamite and work as a well oiled group.”
Alan Bresloff, Around The Town

“An ensemble of migrants, much like an imaginary chorus, sings out their feelings in Spanish. The music and their voices touch the soul, so much so that it’s perhaps better for English speakers not to understand the words…The cast is talented and so committed to the performance that some of them were crying at the end…The ensemble, a bedraggled group of migrants, might only be alive in our imaginations, but they are compelling in the telling of their stories.”

—and sung by a very talented ensemble, are haunting and powerful even if you don’t know all of the words.

“Of the immortal triangle of hero, villain, and love interest, only Laura Quiñones emerged with real spark as Luisa.”
​
Patrick O’Brien, Chicagoland Musical Theatre
“Laura Quinones who plays the love interest, Luisa. Such a stunning, honest performer. I can’t wait to see more of her.”

“Lovely Laura Quinones makes the role of Luisa her own. She vocally caresses songs, such as “The Man Behind The Mask”, “Falling”, and her spirited duet with Ms. Rhode and the women’s ensemble, “Djobi Djoba,” with skill and authority. Both women will hopefully be seen again in more leading roles.”

“...“I’m Shooting High” from “Sugar Babies” by a dulcet-voiced Laura Quiñones.”
