THE REVOLUTIONISTS
Paige O’Connor as Marie Antoinette nearly steals the show. Though her program bio describes her as a recent alum of N.Y.U. and Second City, she plays the doomed queen with the expert comic timing of a seasoned vet. Her sassy smile is infectious, and her Marie Antoinette makes glorious fun of herself, dropping red ribbons with innocent abandon.

AMERICAN IDIOT
Fortunately, extraordinary voices
— as well as incredible intensity and remarkable stage presence — can be found in…
O’Connor as the walking pharmacy, St. Jimmy….
✹The Boston Globe
Saint Jimmy, a manic pixie personification
of the allure of substance abuse, perfectly and chaotically played by Paige O’Connor

LIV AT SEA
O’Connor is flawless as Liv, navigating her through choppy waters of guilt, uncertainty, anxiety, infatuation, and delight. Her slightest gestures pack a well-aimed, emotional wallop. Her eyes are right out of an Italian Renaissance painting, keyholes to her soul.
✹ Theater Mirror
O'Connor is one hundred percent in her element here and delivers a spot-on, nearly flawless, and frighteningly captivating performance.

REEFER MADNESS
O’Connor is super-sexy and endlessly funny
as she prances around the stage waiting for
her next sexual encounter or tending to
her offstage and unnamed baby.
