REVIEWS

Marty Rosen of the LEO Weekly, reviewing Tennessee Williams' 27 Wagons Full of Cotton: "...features three extraordinary performances...Maxwell plays Flora as a giggling sexpot-savant who may or may not understand the role she's to play as the human currency that fund's Jake's 'good neighbor' policy"

Keith Waitts of Arts-Louisville.com, reviewing her Georgia in Kander and Ebb's Curtains: "Lauren Maxwell is a glamorous presence as one-half of the songwriting team that has penned the tunes, and exhibits perhaps the best vocal performance of the evening"

Jeff Ketterman of Theatre Louisville, reviewing her Susan in Sondheim's Company: "Maxwell played the perky southern bell with wit"
