"...it is Toulmin who steals every scene with her sparkling
Molly, bounding around the stage living on the very surface
of every moment." |
|
The Westender -
March 2008
"Jennifer Toulmin, as Cinderella, was the most technical
performer on the stage; a pitch-perfect interpreter of Sondheim's
music with her clear Soprano. Toulmin also displayed a shiny
optomism that recalled the charms of Broadway's Kristin Chenoweth." |
|

BC- August 2007
"Jennifer Toulmin sings beautifully in her role as Cinderella
...in "Into
The Woods". |

clowning...warmed up the audience." |

The shining pride of P.E.I.
"
The
success of the show, is the responsibility of the young
woman who plays Anne. Jennifer Toulmin gave a wonderful performance.
Her voice is a glory and she has the grace of a born dancer.
Toulmin is convincingly girlish in the first act. Her body
is almost
always quivering with excitement." |

From ABBA to Anne
"Jennifer Toulmin can hardly believe her good fortune.
At the age of twenty-four, she is starring in her second
major musical, playing a character she has adored since childhood,
and loving every minute of it. 'I feel blessed,' says Toulmin,
who is playing the title role in Anne of Green Gables this
summer at
the Confederation Centre of the Arts." |
