“Marie Curie...gets a nice G&S style patter song in a minor key, richly sung by Susan Moore” MUSICAL THEATRE REVIEW (2020)
“The larger-than-life Susan Moore is terrific as Katisha too. She has an old fashioned contralto voice like good claret and acts beautifully as the frumpy but oddly vulnerable and pretty vindictive woman nobody wants.” SARDINES MAGAZINE (2020)
“Plainest of the lovesick maidens is The Lady Jane, sung tonight by understudy Susan Moore...she delivers a masterpiece of comic timing and performance.” NORWICH EYE (2017)
“Particularly memorable among the bunch of Loxford do-gooders... the Florence Pike of Susan Moore, deftly comic and ripely sung” OPERA MAGAZINE (2011)
“Figaro is strapping of voice and physically dextrous – a powerful interpretation...Susan Moore’s Marcellina...is equally vivid” THE TIMES (2009)
