"West Side Story" Park Playhouse Theatre, NY
“There are many things to laud here, but foremost is the superior acting and dancing performance of Anita (Yvonne Campbell). A vivacious redhead, her dancing was riveting; when she dances, the audience watches nothing else. She brings sensuousness to her scenes with Maria, and her hatred and outrage are conveyed powerfully in the rape scene. Hers is a performance I’d see again”
-James Yeara – Metroland News - Albany, NY
“There’s no question that Campbell as Anita is the star of the Park Playhouse production. Sexy as all get out, capable of rages and forgiveness, she has the fire and edge that define the play’s New York of the 1950’s. Campbell tears the bleeding heart out of this West Side Story and throws it, dripping senseless hate, at the audience. She dares us not to be disturbed”.

"Damn Yankees" Shenandoah Summer Theatre, VA
“Yvonne Campbell is a virtual show stopper. Contrary to her opening number, “A Little Brains A Little Talent” Ms. Campbell has bountiful supplies of both and knows how to make skillful use of them. She can be kittenish or brash. Her voice ranges from Betty Boop cute to Ethel Merman belting. And, she dances up a storm”.
-John Horan Jr. - Winchester, VA
“Now let me tell you about Yvonne Campbell as Lola. What a dish! She sings great, dances like a dream. If she sang “Whatever Lola Wants” to me, I’d give her the moon, the stars, and anything else she wanted”.
-Winchester, VA
“It is Campbell, with a voice eerily evocative of Gwen Verdon’s who takes command of the stage. Dancing to Mary Robare’s fine choreography, she is just about irresistible”.

“One highlight of the show for me, was the presence of Yvonne Campbell (as Lois/Bianca), who strikes me as a young Chita Rivera type. Her dancing was wonderful and her charisma undeniable”.

“Too much cannot be said about Campbell’s command of her part. From the swish in her walk to the sustained nasality of her dialect. One eagerly awaits her musical numbers”.

“Seeing a character as potentially predictable and one-dimentional as Miss Adelaide, played with such imagination, specificity and verve as Yvonne Campbell brings to the role, is a treat. In fact, Campbell brings out the best in everyone she plays opposite, without overshadowing the others or warping the show’s structure”.

“Yvonne Campbell gives a Razzle Dazzle performance as Miss Adelaide. She is an accomplished actress with a gutsy voice that meets every challenge of range”.
