Variety (Marilyn Stasio) a hoot of a perf by Ann Harada
The Hollywood Reporter (David Rooney) But who ever thought Cinderella needed a do-gooder stepsister, especially with the hilarious Harada on hand to steal the scene whenever she’s onstage? (Charlotte’s song, "Stepsister’s Lament," is a peach.)

Entertainment Weekly (Jessica Shaw) several performances sparkle -- notably the hilarious Ann Harada
NY1 (Roma Torre) Ann Harada as one of the stepsisters is an absolute hoot.
New York Observer (Jesse Oxfeld) Ann Harada is a goofily sulky evil stepsister
MyCentralJersey.com (Bill Canacci) Ann Harada steals thunder as the dense and tubby Charlotte. "Stepsister's Lament" at the start of Act II easily could have been filler, but Harada leading the way brings a lot of smiles.

New York Magazine/Vulture (Scott Brown) the clucking, catchy "Stepsister’s Lament," translated here into a go-for-broke chorus number centering on Harada. (If you only know Harada as stolid stage-manager Linda on Smash — and if you’re a faithful enough Smash alpha-viewer to fixate on such things — then you owe yourself this.)"
New York Post (Elisabeth Vincentelli) “Stepsister’s Lament," revived with hilarious verve by Harada
USA Today (Elysa Gardner) Ann Harada brings just enough shrillness to the cattier stepsister, Charlotte

newjerseynewsroom.com (Michael Sommers) Ann Harada gets to grump amusingly through "Stepsister's Lament"
Huffington Post (Michael Giltz) The amusing "Step-Sister's Lament" -- which wonders why the Prince always falls for those annoyingly pretty girls -- is as close to a show-stopper as this gentle production gets.

New York Theater (Jonathan Mandell) I’m hoping that Ann Harada’s comic performance as an evil stepsister will convince the producers of Smash to stop her criminal underuse in that series.

TheaterMania (Brian Scott Lipton) the delicious Ann Harada
ArtsInNY.com (David Sheward) Ann Harada, our beloved Linda the Stage Manager ("I ain't makin' no smoothies, bitch") from Smash, stole the show as the wicked stepsister. (OK she didn't really say that to Uma Thurman, but she said it with her eyes.)
