"Carole, and Brianna, really are 'beautiful' in more ways than one, and one can imagine, and even hope, to see Brianna play Ms. King in a tribute concert someday somewhere. She’s that believable."

-Florida Theatre On Stage (Carole King, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical)

“The stunning Brianna Kothari Barnes sings the hell out of these numbers…Barnes carries the production handily, carving out King’s journey from ugly duckling to swan, finding her confident singing voice along the way.”

-Hap Ernstein, Palm Beach Arts Paper (Carole King, Beautiful: The Carole King Musical)

“But the star of this show without a doubt was Brianna Barnes. Her maturity as a performer revealed a deep understanding of “Lizzie” that was breathtaking. Barnes gets it; every time I’ve seen her on stage I’ve been impressed with what she brings to the table – and every time she ups her game... She is a mega-star waiting for her turn in the spotlight.”

-Kirk Sheppard, The Sappy Critic (Lizzie, 110 in the Shade)

“Brianna Barnes captured my attention from the moment she entered the stage. She managed to give us a range of emotion carrying us through self-consciousness humbleness, rage, pity, sorrow, and love, played with truthfulness and energy... The highlight of this show was Brianna Barnes as Louise who was completely authentic and charismatic throughout this show, has great poise and vocal talent, and made a stunning transformation from Louise to Gypsy Rose that never seemed forced or faked. She is truly a star.”

-League of Cincinnati Theaters (Lousie, Gypsy)

“Brianna Barnes does a rip-roaring job with ‘I Am Woman.’ She belts it out, but with deft vocal control.”

-Marty Fugate, The Observer (The 70’s… More Than A Decade)
