Reviews
"...the bravura performance of the show is by DeCosky, who seizes the spirit of the wistful and wonderful Patsy like catching a firefly in a bottle. DeCosky has a remarkably charismatic stage presence—that rarified ability to rivet an audience’s attention in an understated, organic way. Apart from her powerful acting gifts, DeCosky also is a magnificent singer, not only through vocal skills but also through her gift for touching the heart with every lyric. Her renditions of “She Wanted to Be a Singer” and “When We Dance” are transcendent."
Hoyt Hilsman, Backstage
“Front person Courtney DeCosky sings like a house on fire. I’m not sure what I like more – her lead singing or the harmonies she drops over guitarist John Schnabel when he takes a turn at vocals. Wow – when she goes high look out.”
Ed Forman, Columbus Free Press
“As the Dealer, aptly costumed by Boyd in a sexy power dress, Courtney DeCosky is the Wild Card and femme fatale of this astral-plane poker game. Aggressive but seductive, knowledgeable but evasive, DeCosky nimbly meets the challenges of the play’s most mysterious and evocative role and often trumps the other characters.”
Michael Grossberg, The Columbus Dispatch
