What They Say About
Phillip Dorian
Scene on Stage
"...Kittredge is a smashing,
wise-cracking charmer..."
--The Real Thing, Two River
Theatre Company
Marilyn Maye
"You are truly wonderful."
Alix Cohen
Woman Around Town
"The vocalist builds through her first verse, then whomp! Her voice soars in pain, then retreats with realization. “Everything we had is gone,” she gasps, hand at her breastbone."
Moon Over Buffalo
Cape Cod Times
"Ann Kittredge steals the show as the Hays' daughter Rosalind, particularly in the hilarious balcony scene from the Hays' production of Noel Coward's "Private Lives." Ms. Kittredge's performance in this scene is outstanding."
Stephen Flaherty
TONY winning, OSCAR nominated composer, responding to release of recording "Make Them Hear You/I'm Still Standing"
"I never in a million years would have thought to pair these two songs, but it is certainly powerful. Congratulations! I really enjoyed it!"
Andrea Marcovicci
Golden Globe nominee, Actress, Singer, Director
"Ann Kittredge is so, So, SO magnificent!"
Music Man
Palm Beach Daily News
"Because “Music Man” is so familiar...it must be fresh as this morning’s daisies to retain credibility. Ann brings just such a freshness to her Marian...Kittredge’s soprano voice is one of those gorgeous instruments often described as “bell-like” for its clarity and ringing tone. Even more winning is the way she underscores her character’s repressed sensuality. We really root for Marian to get together with slippery Harold, which makes the story all the more satisfying."
David Sabella
Broadway and Off-Broadway veteran, multi-award winning performer
"An elegant and consummate musician, with a golden hued voice, gossamer phrasing, and a substantial connection to lyric.
Some readers will wonder if [my] exuberance amounts to nothing more than hyperbole. I assure you it does not. Talent of this quality...must be singled out, applauded, and held up as the gold standard..."
Karen Akers
Broadway/Film/Television/Cabaret veteran
"Ann is sensational!"

"Those two songs, “Tambourine Man” and “Garden” set up the parameter’s of Ann Kittredge’s musical storytelling: the first is vague and surreal, the second is incredibly specific, down to a remarkable level of detail - even down to the description of the flowers in her garden and the particular ways in which they bloom. It’s a beautiful album!"
Bradley Jones
Performer, original cast member of "A Chorus Line."
"Ann wants us to feel, and we go there. When I go, often at the behest of KT [Sullivan], and I feel things, I’m grateful to be part of the fun. Ann did a turn better. She's got drop-dead vocal chops, emotional gravitas, and took me to vulnerable places I’d rather not go, but need to more often. AND, at the risk of sounding inappropriate, Ann has a divine figure."
Brady Schwind

"Ann Kittredge heated up the season, by delivering what may go down in cabaret history as the perfect musical theater tribute show!"
Rebecca Kaplan

"His second wife Ruth already felt insecure and in competition with Elvira (as shown in “Was She Prettier Than I?”, which Kittredge sang tenderly, the character's vulnerbility showing through)...WIllison and Kittredge have undeniable chemistry, too, as the other half of the love triangle, standing out on numbers like the lightly comedic “Where Is the Man I Married.”
Marilyn Lester
Theater Pizzazz
"Ann Kittredge, elegant in a beautiful gown and in full operatic mode, sang a gorgeous, evocative “How Are Things In Glocca Morra?” with Christopher Denny at the piano and superb guitar enhancements by Harkness.”
Christopher Rawson
Pittsburgh Post Gazette
"...Probably the funniest scene
involves ...Ann Kittredge as Lady
Jacqueline Carstone. Ann Kittredge
makes a sleek, catty seductress.
-- Me and My Girl, Pittsburgh, CLO with Sutton Foster and James Brennan
