To quote a role I haven't played (yet)
"What have I done?" - Jean Valjean
Word on the street
Broadway World
"Sarah Mae Banning played Roxie Hart, and I thought she was absolutely perfect in the role. Her voice was wonderful, and she expressed Roxie's emotions so well through her acting; from her humor, to anger, to fear, and so much more. Near the end of her first number, Funny Honey, I was incredibly impressed with the anger she was able to portray using her voice and movements--and she had this same level of brilliance through the rest of the show."
The Dispatch- Rock Island Argus
“Making a wildy impressive Circa debut, Sarah Mae Banning deserves some kind of award for embodying the awful, annoying, awkward Lina— a “dumb” platinum blonde, a staggeringly egotistical movie star, and a scheming shrieker who aims to ooze warmth on screen but is icily cold and calculating underneath.
As Lina, Banning gives new meaning to “siren song”, since her out-of-tune voice sounds like an ambulance wailing. Her second act performance of “What’s Wrong with Me”, sung as Lina tries to give herself a pep talk before her mirror, is a self-pitying tour de force.”
The Daily Gazette
"Kudos to the Carol Burnett-ish Sarah Mae Banning."
