These Broadway tunes are as good as it gets - Financial Times, 21st June 2002

...An ace cast put across as many of the words as they could. Kim Criswell singing ‘You’re the Top’ is as good as musical comedy gets. Graham Bickley and Deborah Dutcher proved experts in caricature as the love interest, and Simon Green brought the house down as the aristocratic English twit, Lord Evelyn Oakleigh...

Viva les divas - Daily Mail, UK, 30th October 2001

I spoke no German, and believe me forgetting your lines in a foreign language is awful. That once happened halfway through a song, so I did lots of heavy breathing and fluttered my eyelashes as if overcome by the Phantom’s presence.  Click here to read article.

Music of the Night is a real treasure - Telegraph & Argus, Bradford, 5th April 2000

...The man behind the Phantom's mask is Peter Karrie, a veteran of the West End show. Last night's crowd was on its feet applauding him faster than a plummeting chandelier. His leading lady is the American actor and singer Deborah Dutcher; theirs will be the music of a great many memorable nights in Bradford's West End between now and August...

This was posted as a comment to a review of Scott Davies and Zoe Curlett.

...I have seen the show 11 times, with numerous casts, and I can honestly say that there has never been a better Christine than Deborah Dutcher. Her voice is truly breathtaking - crystal clear. She is the definitive Christine Daae and brings to the role a passion and vulnerability that is rarely seen. We are made aware of Christine's inner torment through Deborah's performance much in the same way as we were made aware of the Phantom's torment due to Scott's performance. I feel that the cast who performed in Edinburgh were the best cast I have ever seen especially Ms Dutcher!!  Sonja Hirschfeld
