“In perhaps one of the most famous roles of the show, Laura Savage does fierce work as determined dancer and Zach’s former paramour, Cassie. Savage makes “The Music and the Mirror” a powerhouse moment, both vocally and with her precise and beautiful solo dance moment.”
Rachel Weinberg, BroadwayWorld.com
“Cassie (Laura Savage) offers a master class in the integration of song, dance and acting in “The Music and the Mirror.”
Richard Pahl, Northwest Herald
“The older characters like Cassie- richly played by Laura Savage- all come with an atypical sadness, as if everyone is trapped in the same system, desperately trying to come out intact.”
Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“Cassie is brilliantly portrayed at Porchlight by the gorgeous Laura Savage, she of dulcet voice and picturesque dance lines. While Savage is years away from being a one-time star returning to the chorus, this role shows her resilience in coming to the heavy dance show just more than a year after ACL surgery. On the heels of another great lead performance (Dyanne in MDQ at Marriott Theatre) Savage has to be at the top of every casting director’s list.”
Barry Reszel, Chicagoland Musical Theatre
“Always a dynamic dancer in every show she’s appeared in, plus being an accomplished vocalist, and one terrific actress, Laura Savage is Cassie. Ms. Savage’s unbridled passion, as she dances for her life in “Music and the Mirror,” overwhelms both the actor and the audience. Ms. Savage proves once and for all, that she’s an undeniable star of Chicago musical theatre.”
Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
Currently Laura is understudying the role of Jenna in Waitress the Musical. Also, she is Francine, an ensemble member, and dance captain for the production.
