taking on a dual role is Cassidy Love” as “Kate Monster”—the object of “Princeton’s” shy affection while at the other end of the spectrum, she also executes some equally remarkable work as “Lucy The Slut”. As “Kate” she’s appropriately perky and good natured with a refreshing underlying sensitivity that works well for this character—puppet or not (and oh, what a dazzling singing voice she has!) Love scores at the forefront of “The Internet Is For Porn”—a philosophical debate-through-song opposite “Trekkie Monster”, then just before the Act Break, her solo “There’s A Fine Line” lavishly showcases her expressive tonality with an A-Plus rendition.

Unforgettable in her own right is Cassidy Love as “Natalie’s” BFF, “Lorraine”. Ms. Love has a crisp clarion voice which she puts to great use with her parts in ‘Heartbreak Hotel’, “That’s Alright” and “If I Can Dream”. In fact, alongside Aaron Gibbs as “Dean Hyde”—the ‘Mayoress’s’ military-schooled (but still underconfident) son, the two pretty much carry the show’s genial little subplot also involving ‘forbidden’ romance (adding a touch of “Romeo & Juliet” to “Twelfth Night”!) Their shared chanson “It’s Now Or Never” (as the pair conspire to run off together to leave this ‘town without pity’ far behind them,) is one of the most enjoyable in the production.

The chemistry between Love’s Lorraine and Gibbs Dean is palpable, accentuated by their stunning performances both together and apart.

Cassidy Love is the gorgeous Meg, poised and perfect in the ballet sequences, with a polished and flawless singing voice and an undeniable presence on stage.

Cassidy won Best Featured Actress at John Raitt Awards for Youth for her performance as Meg Giry in The Phantom of The Opera in 2019
Cassidy Love as the aptly named “Electra”, who is done up like a fully-electrified Christmas Tree–portions of which she ‘lights up’ during her act. (‘I’m electrifyin’ and I ain’t even tryin’,” she warbles.) Their “Gotta Get A Gimmick” (and the sheer, sincere absurdity they invest into it) isn’t merely performed brilliantly by all three, it easily rates as the Act Two showstopper!
