Brianna
Abruzzo
"Abruzzo’s portrayal of Lise Dassin, the ingénue ballerina, is captivating in her doe-eyed innocence. Her lithe movements, even when simply walking across the stage, are graceful and poetic. Accomplished in ballet, Abruzzo is also an excellent singer."
- Joe Gruberman (Splash Magazine)
"Brianna Abruzzo is superb as Lise, in a stunning performance that includes exceptional dancing (her ballet skills are flawless) and a combination of mystery, grace, sadness and passion."
