Lacivita and Angela Janas' chemistry make you fall in love with Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet once again.
-BroadwayWorld


"The chemistry, comedy, and impressive character acting of the ensemble cast make this a knock-out production."
​-BroadwayWorld
"playfully brilliant...The entire cast demonstrates a fevered, frenetic focus...to single one out would suggest all are not at an equal high-level of performance -- which they are..."
-Syracuse.com

 Angela Janas plays Charlotte Corday, a young assassin determined to show the world that she was not afraid to die for her mission. [Her] blunt passion for [her] cause was so evident, and [her] strength was admirable. I commend Janas for bringing this inspiring resilience to life.
-BroadwayWorld
The actors beautifully create that tough blend of vivid drama and light laughs...Angela Janas portrays [Corday] with the right amount of narrow focus and distant-stare faith.

Angela Janas...plays the shyness of the girl perfectly, retreating physically from human interaction...She, without a word uttered, moves the audience to tears. She is an actress with that gentle ability and it is a joy to watch her work in this role.
-Berkshire Bright Focus
The power and wonder of the performance by Janas is that she makes plausible a romance with Jim...She makes us believe that she is pretty...Janas allows us to see her not as a “cripple” but as a vulnerable young woman with repressed libido.
-Berkshire Fine Arts
 [The play's] strength rests on a balanced quartet of actors who portray rounded characters caught in a difficult situation...Angela Janas, slender, with a wonderfully expressive face presents a multifaceted character who tries to hold her ground with two stronger family members.
​-The Arts Fuse

...the biggest surprise is the young mistress of the king, played by Angela Janas. In an unusually well-articulated performance, she transforms Alais into someone who’s fully self-possessed, and frequently the equal of the Plantagenets that surround her.
-Alive Magazine
Angela Janas draws considerable attention as the overlooked and underestimated Alais Capet, ratcheting up the tension with her own maneuvers.
-BroadwayWorld
Alais Capet is played with a great combination of innocence and allure by Angela Janas. She becomes a pawn that may prove more a detriment than an asset to Henry.

…none command the stage as does Angela Janas when she transforms Ophelia’s mad scene into a lilting song that moves from discomforting to creepy to deeply haunting.
-St. Paul Pioneer Press
Ophelia is usually a pretty thankless and forgettable part, but I was stunned by Janas’ performance...It’s thrilling to watch and gives a whole new perspective on an oft-too-neglected role.
—​TheaterMania

…Most interesting of all is Ms. Janas whose Juliet is an innocent but intelligent girl-woman who knows just enough about sex to simultaneously fear and long for it.
—The Wall Street Journal
As Juliet, Angela Janas puts [Romeo] straight by warning him that he woos by the book and not by reality...In the balcony scene, their dialogue soars with their contrasting imagery between night and light, place and time. They are a striking pair in their young enthusiasm and impetuousness.

Sabine (Angela Janas), d’Artagnan’s younger sister and traveling companion, is an invention of Mr. Ludwig’s, but she is adventure-hungry and adept with a sword...
— Anita Gates, New York Times
Ludwig added the character Sabine as D’Artagnan’s younger sister, played by Angela Janas, who is terrifically goofy, especially when she breaks from her tomboy role into her libidinous hankering for Aramis.
