"Theo Allyn, as I've said in these reviews before, has developed a stage persona as one of Pittsburgh's greatest eccentrics; I have seen them take a totally nothing role, like the rich dowager in Anything Goes, and turn it into a wildly funny, unpredictable comic smorgasbord. Allyn does not disappoint here, imbuing Frau Blücher with a laser-sharp comic intensity and a physicality that makes it clear how few boundaries or social niceties the housekeeper still cares to observe." -- Broadway World, Young Frankenstein
"Allyn plays Jo with strength and joy, and the character's dreams of being a writer soar through with tenacious ferocity via Allyn's energy and charisma. Jo is a bit of a tomboy and quite the visionary, and Allyn does an amazing job in this role of leading the March girls along the road from childhood to adulthood. With the passion for writing being presented so longingly, Allyn's Jo may even inspire audience members to take up the art." -- KateKlotzbach.com, Little Women
"Allyn is the ideal choice for the bold, budding writer, Jo. She is funny, tender, and passionate in her portrayal, and she acts like a metronome for the piece, setting the pace and tone throughout..." -- Cleveland Jewish News, Little Women
"Allyn enlivens virtually every line she delivers, and that includes the times when she is just quiet and reflective. As anyone knows who has read or seen Little Women, Jo is the pivot point for the others, and Allyn handles the assignment with skill." -- Cleveland Scene, Little Women
