"The nearly show-stopping Lauren Gemelli is Maggie Jones, 42nd Street's red-hot second banana."

"Lauren Gemelli, as Charity's best bud Nickie, vamps it up like a Jersey Shore vixen and is a real doll."

"Equally impressive are Charity's wise cracking dance hall girl friends. Nickie is a sharp, brash broad, and well portrayed by Lauren Gemelli. Ayana Wright is sweet and sassy as Helene, and together these women have great 'girlfriend' chemistry. Their duet number 'Baby Dream Your Dream' is powerful, and singing with Charity, 'There's Gotta Be Something Better Than This,' from the rooftop of the dance club, is another well choreographed number."
