“Cynthia Dale, as Reno Sweeney (Anything Goes), sings and dances as if she had an inexhaustible supply of ability and energy (which she might)” – Detroit Free Press

“The company’s first lady of song, Cynthia Dale. More than a terrific singer, Dale is a natural comedian with a sense of timing that comes through in both body English and the spoken kind.” -  The Detroit News

“For Dale it's a golden opportunity to offer further evidence of her versatility -- her considerable talent as a comedienne, a talent that extends to her infectious work as a hoofer, and her ability as a singer to deal with Cole Porter's witty lyrics and his treacherous musical and rhythmic structures. Songs like I Get A Kick Out Of You, Anything Goes or Blow Gabriel Blow, the soaring revival ditty that has Dale singing and kicking up a storm, are a litmus test for any musical theatre performer. Dale comes through with flying colours.” - Ottawa Citizen

“When Dale croons the prettiest version of ‘How Long Has This Been Going On?’ since Judy Garland, you know you're in good hands.” - Hamilton Spectator
