People are singing praises of...

The Tragic and Horrible Life of the Singing Nun

"So wrong its right.... a wicked delight." - Variety

"A nimble cast, notably Laura Daniel in the title role."
- Elisabeth Vincentelli, Time Out NY

"Laura Daniel creates a charming figure as Jeanine…better known as 'The Singing Nun'. Her singing is marvelous and she captures the gentle sweetness of that little ditty of a tune called 'Dominique.' Under the glasses and unbecoming habit, one suspects that a very attractive actress can be found.” - Joseph F. Panarello, Broadway World.com

"Laura Daniel is perfect as Sister Smile... and gets into the nutty spirit of the campiest show in town....that is surprisingly touching."
- William Stevenson, Broadway.com


"She reminded me of Kristin Chenoweth... This impression faded as the show progressed, and I realized that it was really a wonderful acting job that the personality of her characterization  morphed so significantly as her character’s journey advanced." - JulieJ, TalkinBroadway.com

"Sister Smile is wonderfully played by Laura Daniel...sweet and heartfelt... with the most  irreverent, off the wall sense of humor which beautifully adds to the hilarity on stage."  
-  Oscar E. Moore, TalkEntertainment.com

"This nun's habit is funny and damn sad. We laughed and cried. Actually... we mostly laughed." 
-  Staff Pick, Bravo TV and Out TV.comm


"Indisputably hilarious and terrific!" - Next Magazine

"An artist to watch, with presence, poise, and pizzazz."
-Dr. Roberta E. Zlokower, Roberta on the Arts

"A delightful romp! Laura Daniel's bright and breezy one woman show takes eleven songs from a wide range of musicals and shapes them into a sweet, funny, sexy, and ultimately triumphant journey to find fulfillment. Bravo!"
-Allen Raymon, Aurora News , Actors Fund of America

"Something funny's going on -- and praise be to the theatrical gods for it!
As a murderous mafia mistress, Laura Daniel keeps the audience roaring with powerhouse vocals and a gift for broad comedy."
- John Kenrick, musicals101.com


"As the gun-toting Rita, Laura Daniel is truly outstanding. She sings, struts, shoots, plots, plans, and performs with a Brooklyn accent befitting a gangster's main squeeze."
- Cliff Kadsen, Queen's Courier


"Laura Daniel had me on the floor laughing every time she opened her mouth, and she can sing like nobody's business!"
