Elle Woods

"Specifically, our Elle, Lily Kaufmann, is kind of a tour de force comedian actress. She has an amazing voice. She's an awesome dancer - I think she grew up as a dancer first. But she has this ability to kind of transcend the material. She's got a Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett kind of sensibility about her where she's able to ground the comedy, but it's super zany and out there and fun and funny for the audience."

~ Nikki Snelson, Rough Draft Atlanta

"Lily Kaufmann gave her all to the role of Elle Woods. I appreciated seeing her progression from over-the-top sorority girl to more reserved and sure of herself in the end. Kaufmann did that well without it being forced (which is a delicate balance). Kaufmann also owned her belt. She could hit that note, go into a full dance sequence, and then hit the next flawless note."

Lauren

"Other standouts of the evening include Lily Kaufmann, who provided perhaps the freshest, clearest, and most hilarious take of 'History of Wrong Guys' imaginable. She was consistently a crowd favorite throughout the night and always had us rooting for her."

Penny

"One of the greatest standouts of this production was Lily Kaufmann – who plays Tracy’s bumbling sidekick, Penny Pingleton. Kaufmann, a Kansas City native, is hilarious in the role – humanizing a character that, ultimately, has an impressive transformation herself."

~Matt Riedl, The Wichita Eagle

Natalie

"Lily Kaufmann rocks the show from curtain until bows as Natalie (or 'Ed'), with an intricate performance bursting with character. [...] There's a decisive humor that Kaufmann brings to the stage, one smartly bringing the show up higher than it has any right to."

~Trevor Durham, Broadway World
