Press for Campbell

“Campbell Krausen, a talented newcomer to this company who plays Petra, the spokesperson of the regular folks in many ways and also the embodiment of the promise of a younger generation, is both crisp and alive in the moment. You get the sense that Petra will change all of this one day, unless she too is seduced by power. You really don’t know. You really should not know.”

~ Chris Jones, CHICAGO TRIBUNE

“Krausen, the only female member of the cast, gives a touching performance as a young woman with progressive views and feminist goals.”

~ Nancy S Bishop, THIRD COAST REVIEW

“Krausen brings a sympathetic warmth to her character that — as the only female character who is fully aware of her standing among the rest of the cast — simply gives her more power for choosing the right thing.”

~ Angela Lin, BROADWAY WORLD

“The emotional anchor of the show is Campbell’s Krausen’s Petra. The shift from light to dark is heartbreaking.”

~ John Accrocco, BUZZ NEWS

“Krausen extracts the maximum level of complexity from Petra.”

~ Mary Wisniewski, NEW CITY STAGE

“Krausen provides an intellectually strong female presence as Petra.”

~ Rick McCain, LET'S PLAY THEATRICAL REVIEWS

Campbell Krausen is magnificent as Liesl. It’s heartwarming watching her budding trust and love grow for Maria. The scene between Liesl and her telegram delivery boyfriend is charming, humorous and realistic.”

~ Colin Douglas, CHICAGO THEATRE REVIEW

“Krausen holds her own among the leads. She is a great singer and strong actress, capable of showing all the emotions necessary to paint a complete character for the audience to sit back and enjoy.”

~ Rikki Lee Travolta, THE LIFE AND TIMES OF RIKKI LEE TRAVOLTA

“Campbell Krausen brings great charisma to her scene with Rolf (Emmet Smith), the telegram boy, making “Sixteen Going on Seventeen” palatable to modern sensibilities.“

~ Bridgette M. Redman, CHICAGO READER

“The duo (Campbell Krausen and Emmet Smith) bring an awkward eagerness to their "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" duet that makes the number all the more sweet.”

~ Barbara Vitello, DAILY HERALD

“Campbell Krausen, who plays 16-year-old Leisl, not only shows awkward teenage chemistry with Emmet Smith’s Rolf, she really seems to encourage and mother-hen her onstage siblings.”

~ CJ Burroughs, BUZZ NEWS

“Earlier this year, Campbell Krausen was a standout in Marriott’s Sound of Music, playing the angsty Austrian near-seventeen-year-old Liesl von Trapp. Now, Krausen finds herself not in the Alps, but in Kansas, and gives a smiling and wide-eyed performance as Dorothy Gale.”

~ CJ Burroughs, BUZZ NEWS

“Krausen is the ideal, strong, brave, and loving Dorothy.”

~ Kelly MacBlane, CHICAGO ON STAGE

“Campbell Krausen is a delight in this role and her “Somewhere Over The Rainbow” is perfect.”

~ Alan Bresloff, AROUND THE TOWN CHICAGO

“Jake Ziman and Campbell Krausen embrace the melodrama of the young lovers, Marius and Cosette. Vocally, Krausen's "legit" vocal approach communicates Cosette's sheltered, privileged upbringing, and there's some real tenderness in her final scene with Valjean.”

~ Christine Malcom, TALKIN’ BROADWAY

“Campbell Krausen's portrayal of Cosette is filled with light.”

~ Tina St. Angelo Wetzel, BROADWAY WORLD

“Sweet Campbell Krausen has the youth, grace, and tenderness necessary for this role (Cosette), as well as a crystalline soprano voice.”

~ Colin Douglas, CHICAGO THEATRE REVIEW

“Cosette (Campbell Krausen) lithely floats across the stage, still vulnerable yet more confident.”

~ Tristan Bruns, NEW CITY STAGE
