"superbly insightful" – Backstage Magazine
MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE, ARTIST OF THE YEAR HONORABLE MENTION:
Norah Long played each of her leading roles this year with charismatic flair.
As Guenevere, even more impressive than her lyrical and pretty voice is the personality Long brings to the role and her chemistry with Arthur."

BACKSTAGE MAGAZINE:
"Steve Hendrickson and Norah Long are a brilliantly matched Arthur and Guenevere." "Norah Long lights up the stage with a saucy Guenevere, alive with vivacious voice and spirit. She and Hendrickson have crackling chemistry, and it is easy to see how Guenevere still loves her king even after the passion is wrung out of their relationship. Long has marvelous stage presence." – Graydon Royce, Minneapolis Star-Tribune |
"Richly textured and revelatory. Two powerful anchor performances. There's more to Norah Long's Guenevere than merely a crystalline soprano. Long is adept at conveying character through both song and dialogue, a tricky and not always complimentary set of techniques that allow a musical theater performer to transcend the genre." – Dominic P. Papatola, St. Paul Pioneer Press
"Stunning acting and creativity. This "Camelot" rides across the stage like a colossus. Norah Long lights up the stage with her keen spirit and sense of playful abandon. Long's performance sparkles, and her sense of her own being is more than a match for Arthur. The two have wonderful chemistry and serve up banter with edge and wit." – Christopher M. Trussell, St. Cloud Times

"Norah Long portrays beautifully the changes Arthur's queen goes through from idealistic young bride to seasoned queen to conflicted woman, and she sings like an angel. A top-notch performance." – Kathy Nelson, Shakopee Valley News |
"Pure magic. Seamless. Superb. Long dances, sings and wrings our hearts with her naivete; her Guenevere is a graceful sylph. A full, rich banquet to enjoy: we see the characters develop, the plot evolve, the dream begin." – Suzanne P. Campbell, Lakeshore Weekly |
