What the Critics Say
A NEW BRAIN, Custom Made Theatre
"Pat Christenson as Gordon’s mother Mimi manages to reveal her hidden
fear of losing her only child through the mask of indomitable positive
spirit - not an easy task. Her solo 'Throw It Out' is a well-timed bit
of business."
"Pat Christenson (Ruthless! The Musical)
as
Gordon's mother catches the sadness in 'The Music Still Plays On' and
then turns a complete about face in comically observing the 'Family
History' of Gordon's weak genetic traits. She turns to anger in the
song, lashing out about her son's
brain problem by singing "Asshole ... where's his fight and vigor?"
"...a mother’s torch song for her ailing son, “The Music Still Plays On” (nicely performed by Pat Christenson)..."
42nd STREET, American Musical Theatre of San Jose
"[T]he evening's most enjoyable performance comes from Pat Christenson.
...
Christenson is witty and sarcastic, and like most of the cast, she
has a wonderful voice."
- Tri-Valley Herald
FOLLIES, Contra Costa Musical Theatre
"Pat Christenson ... carries the cast in singing. Her strong and resonating voice is the most powerful in 'Who's That Woman.'"
- Contra Costa Sun
"Pat Christenson ... offered a delightful rendering of 'Who's That Woman,'
adding life to her character with an honest salt-of-the-earth personlity."
- Daily Ledger - Post Dispatch
PIPE DREAM, 42nd Street Moon
"Pat Christenson makes a sassy, completely likable Fauna."
- San Francisco Chronicle
NINE, California Theatre Arts
"Pat Christenson ... leads a pack of boys in the bawdy tarantella 'Be Italian' and
makes the most of it."
- San Francisco Chronicle
