"...It was, strange to say, one performer who caught my eye every time she was on stage. She was a minor character, Toinette. She doesn’t have any solos, and yet so vibrant is her stage presence that it was impossible for me to look elsewhere. Her name is Kiera Smitheram, and she embodied the entire spirit of Offenbach. As the prior reviewer put it, “whenever she appeared, she was always ‘in role’ whilst never taking the focus away from others”. And that is a very hard thing to pull off," -Chris Weber, The Operetta Research Centre (2022)

"...Kiera Smitheram in the secondary role of Toinette, one of the laundry girls, who chain smoked throughout and made the most of each of the few lines that she had: whenever she appeared, she was always ‘in role’ whilst never taking the focus away from others." -John Groves , Operetta Research Centre (2022)

"Kiera Smitheran's Toinette, a chain-smoking laundress with a series of one-liners, was a complete delight," - Robert Hugill, Planet Hugill (2022)
