REviews & AWARDS
- “Johanna Stipetic as Elle Woods is a delight. She’s the perfect Elle, pretty in pink, with a voice and dance skills to match. She’s electric on stage with the right amount of sass, flirtaciousness, and physical presence. She dances and taps in the first half with the strength and verve of an athlete. In Act II, she wears stilettos - and dances in them too! Stipetic does a great job bringing her character from ditzy to sophisticated during a transformation that warms the heart.” - Shannon Goheen, Cape Cod Times
- “With boundless energy, Johanna Stipetic as Elle Woods, leads the cast of Legally Blonde. Johanna Stipetic is fantastic as Elle. The New York University graduate who minored in both music and dance excels at both in this demanding role. She was in every scene of this high-energy show, singing and dancing her way through breakups, outfit changes, courtroom scenes, hair salon showdowns and more.” - Joanne Briana-Gartner, The Cape Enterprise
- "'There Are Worse Things I Could Do' ...was excellently sung by Johanna Mullen [Stipetic]. She does a dynamite job with this number." - Tony Annicone, The Theatre Mirror
