"Michelle Abad plays Rosie, and is one of the engines that make this baby run. Her scene where she dismantles a wedding chapel in pursuit of her man is one of the show’s best moments...Rosie and Tanya are great together, but they are also superb individually, and deserve the wild applause they received at the end of the night." - Kim Hastings, Drama In the Hood

​

"Fortunately, there are enough big singers in McKiernan’s cast that the blast from starboard doesn’t often present a problem. The doo-wop chorus (Erin Abbott, Michelle Abad and Bethany Hodges) have plenty of vocal oomph" said Michael Moore from The Kitsap Sun

 

Michelle is a proud member of Theater Puget Sound since 2014.
