Everyone knows the story of Pandora…
CABARET, Trump Plaza, Atlantic City

CABARET, North Carolina Theatre
- “…and I’ll definitely remember Rebecca Hoodwin’s weatherbeaten, worn — and entirely appropriate — singing voice as Schneider … “What Would You Do?” –Brian Woods, IndyWeek
THE HEIRESS, Roundtable Ensemble, NY

SOUND OF MUSIC, East Carolina Summer Theatre
- … Rebecca Hoodwin, whose performance as Mother Abbess provides splendid vocals and heartfelt, all-encompassing humanity –William A. Peterson, The Daily Reflector
OKLAHOMA! Westchester Broadway Theatre
- “Director Tom Polum has this sense of the ageless theme of “Oklahoma!” as he takes a superb case – with Ingrid Ladendorf as Laurie, Andrew Husmann as Curley and Rebecca Hoodwin as Aunt Eller – and lets these ingratiating performers captivate us in a bygone world of the two-step and the box lunch social that comes across fresh and firsthand.”–Daphne Kraft, Herald & News
MAN OF LA MANCHA, Forestburgh Playhouse
- “Rebecca Hoodwin’s Aldonza/Dulcinea is earthy, coarse and sexual…. to her credit she shows the vulnerable girl beneath the ill-used and hard exterior. Her rendition of “It’s All the Same,” “What Do You Want of Me,” and her dramatic “Aldonza” gives credence to her long list of performance credits. She evinces a stage presence and experience which amply compliments the Forestburgh Playhouse standards…”–Barbara Newberg, The Mountain News
