Reviews...

*The Death of Cupid at KC Fringe Fest:

"Cristantello is very good as Lysistrata..."--Kansas City Star



*The Borderland at Kansas City Repertory Theatre:

"Cristantello is utterly believable as the beleaguered spouse who is trapped in a seemingly intractable predicament."--The Wednesday Sun

"Cristantello is completely believable as the frightened wife, accepting her fate of living in poverty with five children under the age of seven knowing there are no alternatives in store for her."--A 'n' E VIBE

"The strong but underutilized Angela Cristantello..."--The Pitch



*And Then They Came For Me... at Coterie Theatre:

"Using interview footage with Holocaust survivors Eva Geiringer and Helmuth Silverberg, the excellent Angela Cristanello and Nathanael Card act out scenes from these survivors' lives...Cristanello stands raw-eyed and trembling against the snowscape of Auschwitz and speaks, with all her earlier girlishness stripped from her, of a rat nibbling the blood off her frostbitten feet. Moments like these, realized with painful clarity by director Cynthia Levin, don't just show us hell. They singe us with it."--The Pitch

"Standouts were Angela Cristanello as Eva, who used her voice and body language to mature from a pampered, immature 13 year old, to a haggard survivor in the space of the hour."--eKC




*Night of the Living Dead at Coterie Theatre:

"Barbara (Angela Cristantello) spends the majority of the play either screaming or in a shocked silence after her brother Johnny (Spencer Wilson) is attacked and abducted by a zombie in a graveyard. ...Cristantello played the facially-dependent part well, gaining many laughs and supportive claps as she played the helpless, frantic damsel in distress."--University News


"Like last year, Angela Cristanello is amusing and a bit touching as the catatonic Barbara."--The Pitch



*Quindaro at UMKC:

"Playing a schoolteacher of almost superhuman nobility, the lively Angela Cristantello brought an admirable looseness to a starchy role, finding the beating heart buried deep beneath the stiffest of dialogue. Our original review described her as "uncorking her deft laughter," which didn't go far enough. With warmth and charm, this eccentric comic performer marveled at the unlikely history taking shape around her, throwing her head back and busting out a laugh with all the wild effervescence of high-dollar bubbly."--The Pitch


*Othello at Heart of America Shakespeare Festival:

"Angela Cristantello provides sexy comic relief as Bianca without overdoing it."--The Kansas City Star
