Reviews
"Lucy Schneider was another outstanding Gretel. Her awakening song at the beginning of Act 2, accompanied by exquisite playing on the part of solo oboe and violin, was glowingly rendered — a real highlight."

​"Lucy Schneider made a most appealing Vicki, bringing warmth to the role with both her personality and voice. Her interactions with Billy... were an oasis of kindness. Her beautiful sparsely accompanied singing of The Sky Boat Song stood in stark."

"Lucy Schneider's portrayal of Vicki also struck the right note, both as determined seducer and nonchalant participant in what she dismisses as a 'one night stand'."
