  • "Twinnie Lee Moore, Simon Lipkin and Jodie Jacobs were the brightest stars of the show" [5]

Chicago:

  • "As is often the case with this sassy, saucy production, it’s the women who stand out, and Twinnie-Lee Moore as Velma Kelly kept up this tradition with finesse – strong and gorgeous, her character commanded the stage, high-kicking her way into the audience’s hearts and making us laugh with her hilarious asides delivered in a perfect American twang." [6]
  • "Twinnie-Lee Moore, as Roxy's arch-rival Velma Kelly, almost steals the show."[7]
