The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee @ Stillpointe Theatre, 2016
|
"Haddad, who stole nearly every scene she was in in Assassins as failed presidential assassin Sara Jane Moore, is equally compelling here...
Haddad brought me to tears with 'The I Love You Song late in the second act, a trio with her parents who both say they adore her and seem not to notice that she’s there. It is a powerful five minutes." RATING: ☆☆☆☆☆ - DC METRO THEATER ARTS FULL REVIEW: The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at Stillpointe Theatre Initiative "Ashleigh Haddad’s performance as Olive Ostrovsky is heartbreaking and wrenching mixed with humor as she navigates spelling with an absentee mother and father."
- BALTIMORE OUTLOUD FULL REVIEW: Spelling Begins With P-U-T-N-A-M at Stillpointe Theatre |
"Ashleigh Haddad is a delightful addition to the production with her adorably timid characterization of Olive Ostrovsky and her perfectly dulcet voice....Haddad does not shy away from volume or power in 'The I Love You Song' but that does not make her delicate sound any less mellifluous when it comes to the overall portrayal of the sweet and delicate character. Peppered with the right levels of dorky, Haddad has moments too precious for proper description exchanged with William Barfee and adds priceless little laughs during her solo 'My Friend the Dictionary'."

"As Olive Ostrovsky, Ashleigh Haddad is essentially a sad puppy. Her large dark eyes glisten as she sings about her mother....
Stillpointe uses the musical to showcase its greatest strength: the ensemble's immense comedic, vocal, and improvisational talents."

ASSASSINS @ Stillpointe Theatre/Spotlight UB, 2015
"Stealing the show are the portrayers of Squeaky Fromme (Chelsea Paradiso) and Sara Jane Moore (Ashleigh Haddad), respectively. The ladies not only have incredibly strong and beautiful singing voices, but their chemistry and comedic timing are pure excellence."

FULL REVIEW: 'Assassins' by Spotlight UB and Stillpointe Theatre Initiative
"Ashleigh Haddad, as Sarah Jane Moore, and Chelsea Paradiso, as Squeaky Fromme, are two twisted peas in a pod. Featured together for the assassination attempts on Gerald Ford, both Moore and Paradiso bring a vibrant comedic life to their character portrayals. Both women pick up a delectably disgusting southern twang in their accents and deliver them consistently throughout their speaking and singing."
