"And complicating all of this was Westbrook’s Annabella. A scene between Annabella and the Friar brought home the personal consequences of all of this for Annabella, weeping openly in fear and guilt. Westbrook’s compelling performance refused to make Annabella a mere victim – her equivocation with Soranzo, her rejection of Soranzo’s violence, her embrace of her desire for her brother, and her equally committed standing-up to him in the final scene, all showed a woman determined to make her own choices, and equally capable of reckoning with the fallout of the bad ones."

"On occasion, you’ll have the chance to catch some up-and-coming stars of the stage who come on as understudies. Taking the place of Raven Lorraine, on the night I was there, Becca Westbrook proved exuberantly audacious as Dromio of Ephesus. . .The penchant for slapstick is strong in her, and she’ll keep you in stitches, when she’s not dodging the wrath of both Antipholi (I swear that’s a word)."

"And while super-substitute Becca Westbrook, understudying as Mary, repeatedly stole the show with pitch-perfect moralizing (“Oh do hush, Mary!”), fumblings with curtains, and other social awkwardness, her most hilarious moment – in which she belted out an overlong and disproportionately confident solo, interrupting the Bingleys’ ball – was followed by the upsetting sight of her realizing her humiliation and running offstage. . ."

". . .Iona (Westbrook), who offered a hilariously grounded counterpoint. Iona’s wide-eyed disbelief at her mistress’s barely concealed incriminating remarks placed her in an impossible situation, and she desperately decorated the tree (and audience members on the gallant stools) in her own attempt to distract herself from the inevitable."
