"Long gives Roxane verve and charm" – Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Easy on the eyes and unusually bright, Long evolves her character with admirable intelligence
and convincing, palpable emotions.
Mesmerizing greatness."
– Kristen A. Meinzer, Online Stage

"A rare performer in her dramatic ease."
– Michael Phillips, St. Paul Pioneer Press

"With consistent ardency, Norah Long grasps the romanticism of the work and gives Roxane verve and charm."
– Mike Steele, Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Joyful and buoyant – every line receives a fresh look, an unexpected reading, a physical inventiveness. Long's Roxane comes across as genuine and warm-hearted,
no mean feat."
– Erin Hart, Sidewalk Twin Cities

"Nothing less than an angel. As beautiful as a painting, Norah Long's Roxane is no bimbo; she's a tough cookie, and her sharp intellect grants her an even more powerful stage presence. Crystal-clear voice, refined good looks, wonderfully effective, and poignant." – Carolyn Petrie, Twin Cities Revue

"With style and substance, Roxane is rendered exquisitely by Norah Long."
– John Townsend, Lavendar Magazine

"Effervescent in tulle and Chuck Taylors, Long consecrates the stage, and the energy created leaves an indelible print on the brain." – Anne Ursu, City Pages
