North County News, Peggy O'Hara (review of "And The World Goes Round")
....And many of the songs, including the famous "Don't Cry for Me Argentina," are carried by the excellent performance of Brooke Wilkes as the title character, Eva Peron. Besides having a strong, lovely voice, Wilkes does a fine piece of work in physical terms as she carries the role through early gawkishness to growing comfort in her position to semi-sophisticate people's idol to frailty.
Bay Area Theatre Critic, Jeff Hudelson
Wilkes' bewitchingly expressive face, body and voice reveal her many complex moods and changes, the darks and the lights and the shades in between. She sends shivers up the spine....
