Effortless high notes and remarkable acting talent.
"Owens showed the vocal brilliance to pull off the demands of her role. She sang her high notes effortlessly and gave a stunning rendition of the showstopper ‘Glitter and be Gay.’ She also showed remarkable acting talent, playing up the sassiness of her role wonderfully."

Owens' performance as Mabel
lit up the stage.
"Amy [Owens’] performance as Mabel lit up the stage. Her silvery, focused soprano caressed each melodic contour, notably in “Poor Wandering One,” where she also milked the parodic bursts of coloratura for all they were worth."
