"We rec'd an email from the company saying how pleased the client was with your performance. That's rare! So we wanted to pass along the compliment to you."

"Loved working with smart, resourceful and commanding actress Molly Gazay. We always strive to cast great actresses in police roles on our show and Molly fully embodied tech detective Dragos. Eric Robertson made for an empathetic foil. So good working with them." ~Jeremiah Kipp ID Channel

THEATER REVIEWS
JECKYLL AND HYDE THE MUSICAL
"I've seen J&H several times, the touring company that passed thru SF as well as a local production or two. This was easily the most unique version with the music-playing actors. I loved all three leads, especially Molly Gazay as Lucy. The sound wasn't always right (some of the instruments were drowning out the singing at times) but overall it was a fine and fully enjoyable production. I imagine they'll play to the Halloween crowd quite well!"
-Jeckyll and Hyde Robert S. Gold Star Member
"I enjoyed the live musical accompaniment. Standout performance by the actor who played Lucy. Wonderful voice and stage presence."
-Jeckyll and Hyde Steveas Gold Star Member
"The highly talented Jonathan Reisfeld well plays both Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. One becomes amazed as he successfully transforms himself into each character. With her good looks and beautiful voice, Molly Gazay as Lucy, the tart, is outstanding, and she captures the audience. Holly Nugent creates a sympathetic Emma, Jekyll’s fiancé, with an appealing presence and pleasant voice. Chris Morrell as John Utterson, Jekyll’s lawyer and best friend, performs his role well. And Douglas Mandell, as Sir Danvers Carew, gives a moving performance as Emma’s father."

"Just wanted to Congratulate Diabla Productions on this show! It was amazing. Never been to one that was "mixed media"(that's the best descriptive I can come up with, as in my painting) like that. The costumes were fabulous, and I loved the dance parts. God, where did you FIND those women who could act AND dance together so well! And that really hot chick who sang, Molly Gazay. I loved it!"

"FANTASTIC show! The music really captured the mood of the plot, their musicianship and stage presence was that of professionals and so was the cast! As an Ensemble, this group of actors really worked naturally together. All extremely talented and versatile. My favorites of the night: The Gypsy. Not only was her improv with the audience funny and engaging, but she had a presence that stood out. The brothel girls (Juniper & Grace) Both were great at their improv during the interactions & both really shined during their scene. Juniper danced gracefully, while Grace* sang beautifully along with the guitar player and cello player. My final highlight was the dances. I loved the character Belle's dance and the girls as an ensemble. My only issue was the Madam Killing herself at the end but I hear there is a new murder-er every weekend. Overall, I think this is a show that cannot be missed!" *Molly Gazay

"Molly Gazay was mesmerizing with her rendition of "The Best in the World"...."One of my favorite numbers was "Japanese Sandman" featuring Mike, Anna & Molly."

BILL OF (W)RIGHTS
"A couple of scenes I really enjoyed :
The one on the 5th Amendment, in which the daughter (Molly Gazay) pressures her mother's lover (Jack Starr) into telling mom (Alika) the phone number of the woman with whom he is cheating on her. Tightly written, well-acted, and it made me go "hmmm..." until I realized that the court of the dinner table is not necessarily under the jurisdiction of the Bill."

MUSIC REVIEWS
SINGER SONGWRITER
"Our feature this week is MOLLY GAZAY, and I can't express enough how excited I am about that! Molly is a talented actress of both stage and screen, but in the past year she's turned her focus towards being a singer-songwriter, and damned if we aren't all the better for it. Her voice is a head-turner, in the sense that no matter where you are, if you hear it your reflexive response is to turn your head and go, "whoa, who is that?" Her near-operatic compositions plumb the depths of love, loss, struggle, and ultimately triumph in spite of the odds... yet even with the epic nature of her works, they often contain hooks of ear-worm proportions. Don't believe me? Have a listen at: http://theutah.org/artist/mollygazay"
