"The all-kinds-of-terrific Jillian Louis plays country legend Patsy Cline with the voice of a honkytonk angel. The grit and grace of her performance hits you like a shot in the heart." -Peter Travers, of ABC's "Good Morning America," and formerly of "Rolling Stone" and "People"
“The point is Jillian Louis. And she is a star. The moment she steps on stage she captures our attention and it never wavers. We care about her – totally. She radiates sincerity, vulnerability, humor, spunkiness, a quirky charm, confidence and warmth with a glorious voice.” - Oscar E. Moore, Talk Entertainment
"Louis’ voice has both the power and sweet twang of Cline’s, and her performance serves as an express ticket back in time." -Sue Mellen, Cape Cod Times

"Allow me to single out Ms. Lewis, the understudy for Lindsay Nicole Chambers, shown in the photos here. As is so often the case, Lewis's performance was a standout that once again demonstrates how often understudies, who sometimes never get to go on, are the unsung saviors of live theatre." - Samuel L. Leiter
"Jillian Louis portrayed Sally Bowles, and she was absolutely spectacular. Sally is a complicated character... Louis was incredible at showing Sally’s internal struggle. She had a vibrant stage presence as well, and her voice was beautiful and strong. Though all of songs were wonderful, “Maybe This Time” and “Cabaret” were extra special, because they revealed a lot of emotion and development in her character–and, of course, Louis’s execution was perfect." -BroadwayWorld
"Louis fitted in seamlessly with her estimable castmates, handling with ease the high-wattage...staging of director David Ruttura and choreography of Sarah O’Gleby. It probably helped that Louis is also the company’s dance captain. She brought a distinctive comic flair to the role...A couple of ballads – ‘It’s Over,’ tenderly sung by Duren, and ‘Love Will Find Me,’ with heartfelt belting by Louis – provide the show’s most affecting moments." -Ron Cohen

"Jillian Louis — a superb actress with an astounding voice as well as range of styles." -Syracuse.com
