PRAISE FOR “MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG” @ BLANK THEATRE COMPANY

“But it’s Justine Cameron’s Beth Spencer that truly shines. Starting with a showstopping rendition of Sondheim fan-favorite “Not A Day Goes By,” Cameron gently layers in subtext while sharing a vocal command of a range that seems limitless in all directions. With a continuously captivating stage presence, Cameron’s Beth delivers a notable range, from gut-punches of pain to subtle perceptive glances, inviting you to fall in love with her at first sight.”

- SCOTT GRYDER, Picks In Six Review (Conversations with ed Tracy)

“… There’s a really searing and sad take on “Not a Day Goes By” from Justine Cameron.”

- Chris jones, Chicago Tribune

praise for “newsies” at the paramount theatre

“But I’ll say this: One of the show’s real discoveries is a young performer named Justine Cameron making her professional debut; the role of Katherine Plumber rarely has been sung this well.”

- CHRIS JONES, THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“Cameron’s Katherine is no pushover for Jack’s insistent charms. There’s barely time to breathe within the dense wording of ‘Watch What Happens,’ but Cameron delivers it with crystal-clarity and a character-deepening sense of purpose.”

- CATEY SULLIVAN, CHICAGO SUN TIMES

“…the award for best singing in the production must go to the leading lady, Justine Cameron… Cameron is a formidable triple threat… She delivers her dialogue with all of the His Girl Friday punch you could possibly want and, more importantly, her Act I solo ‘Watch What Happens’ is possibly the best vocal performance of the show.”

-BRYSON DAVID HOFF, CHICAGOLAND MUSICAL THEATRE

“[Jack is] matched by the lovely Justine Cameron as Katherine... She’s scrappy and sassy—ready to mix it up with the boys, demonstrating that she’s both a terrific hoofer as well as a fine vocalist. Ms. Cameron’s powerful musical monologue, ‘Watch What Happens,’ is every bit as exciting as the show’s high-powered choreographed numbers.”

- CHICAGO THEATRE REVIEW

“Katherine (Justine Cameron, who is new to the scene, and the stage. Pay attention, we will be seeing more of her)…”

- AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO

“Katherine Plumber (ably played and sung by newcomer Justine Cameron—she is making her professional debut in this production and is so good I’m expecting big things from her in the future)… An absolutely showstopping rendition of ‘Watch What Happens’”.

- SUZANNE MAGNUSON, CHICAGO SPLASH MAGAZINES

“To our advantage we have a very fine grounding in the performances developed by our leads. Young, determined Justine Cameron’s beautiful ‘Katherine’ is taking charge with a pop mezzo soprano belt in “Watch What Happens” that had the whole room going up… I mean minutes long ovations!”
