CHERILYN BACON WAS NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTRESS OF THE YEAR IN A MUSICAL - Mary - Merrily We Roll Along - Southwest Premiere - Stage West, Dir. Jerry Russell. | Consultant, Stephen Sondheim
“Sondheim’s failure triumphs at Stage West…. [Cherilyn Bacon was] phenomenal, able to convey greater emotional depth and experience while appearing to get progressively younger throughout the show…. [M]akes an astonishing transformation from the drunken, bitter critic of the opening scenes to the gifted girl of the closing.”
