Press Quotes

Title of Show — Repertory Theatre of St. Louis

"Amy Justman is Heidi Blickenstaff, the only actor in the original show who actually had Broadway experience... Ms. Justman is well-nigh perfect in the part, and provides a nice counterbalance to Ms. D'Abruzzo's more eccentric Susan."

Chuck Lavazzi, KDHX-FM

"Justman, a beautiful singer, shows off the best tunes ("I Am Playing Me," "A Way Back to Then")...."

Judith Newmark, St. Louis Post Dispatch

"Amy Justman...plays Heidi with grace and passion."

Mathew G. Moross, Daily Gazette

Ordinary Days — Adirondack Theatre Festival

"Amy Justman brings a compelling complexity to Claire, using her fine voice to strong effect on her solos 'Gotta Get Out' and 'I’ll Be Here'."

Steve Barnes, Times Union

"Amy Justman drives her performance of the seemingly cold, distant and down-to-business Claire with just enough pain and tenderness that her final unfolding is a believable, wrenching and beautiful release."

Kathryn Geurin, Metroland

"Justman’s Claire may have the hardest story arc (with a final reveal that explains her pain — maybe just a bit too late), but every note by the actress is true and honest from a woman on a precipice in the frantic 'Cancelling the Party' to a pleading gasp for air in a taxi bound for nowhere in 'Gotta Get Out.'"

Matthew G. Moross, Daily Gazette

Going Through a Stage — Triad Theatre

"Amy Justman does the song ["Good For Him"] beautifully, too, with just the right amount of poignancy."

Peter Filichia, Theatermania.com

Mass — Carnegie Hall

Fred Cohn, Opera News

I'll Remember Love

Jack Bowers, All About Jazz.com

Songs for Pickles

"Bringing this often-engaging material vividly to life is a first-class ensemble...[including] versatile singer Amy Justman..."Jesse," with words tenderly via Justman, is another that reaches way inside."

Rob Lester, Talkin Broadway.com

"Broadway veterans Bolton and Justman make an extremely appealing lead couple, displaying fine comic timing along with their song-and-dance expertise."

Brian Scott Lipton, Theatermania.com

"Amy Justman has the scrubbed wholesomeness for the virtuous Mary Turner..."

Michael Johnson, ConcertoNet.com

"Actor/singers John Bolton (Wintergreen) and Amy Justman (Mary) are wonderful together; perfectly paired, delivering broad but neatly modulated performances, and robustly heading a cast of perky chorines and energetic chorus boys."

Charles Kondek, The Independent

Company — Broadway

"Heather Laws, pattering away rapidly and perfectly and getting, and deserving, mid-song applause as Amy, who gets cold feet on her wedding day; Robert Cunningham, lyrical as her devoted intended, Paul; and Amy Justman, as a bel canto Susan, rather than an unnamed choirgirl, are the first to bring down the house with 'Getting Married Today.'"

Bruce-Michael Gelbert, QonStage.com

Company — Cast Recording

STabat Mater (Pergolesi) — Berkshire Bach Society

"After intermission, with the smaller chorus and two female soloists in featured roles, the Stabat Mater performance ranged more freely through the changes in effect. The music sparked into life as commiseration through joy. Soprano Amy Justman and mezzo-soprano Teresa Buchholz sang affectingly as the soloists..."

Andrew L. Pincus, The Berkshire Eagle

Unsung Weill — Kurt Weill Fest

"Amy Justman and Richard Todd Adams, winners of last year's Lotte Lenya Competition for Singers, showed just how much lively charm can be infused into even songs that were cut from Weill's musicals."

"The two young singers [Adams and Justman] unveiled these treasures with a casual elegance in which high notes were hit effortlessly, combined with perfect diction and dramatic nuance."

"ahi", Mitteldeutsche Zeitung

Taxi Cabaret — Prospect Theater Company

"It also has six strong performers with the right youthful energy and eagerness for their roles...Justman is also quietly appealing during her relatively few moments in the spotlight, and gives Sara some welcome warmth."

Matthew Murray, Talkin Broadway.com

Guys & Dolls — Forestburgh Playhouse

"The other member of the case who won my admiration...was Amy Justman in the role of Sarah Brown, the Salvation Army matron. Her soprano tone had a ping in it that resonated through the hall."
