Re: Sarah as Vivian Bearing in Wit:

--"The New york based actress is hypnotic on stage." ~ Judy Harrison, Bangor Daily News

-- "The Term 'Tour de Force' gets thrown around rather liberally, but there is no questions that the role of Vivian Bearing deserves such a description… Vivian is the soul of 'Wit;', a merely good performance is not enough. For this show to work the actress portraying her must be great. Sarah Dacey-Charles is that actress… Simply put, it is brilliant work."
~ Allen Adams, The Maine Edge

Re: Sarah as Fosca in Passion

--"Sarah Dacey Charles, as the love-starved Fosca, anchors the show with a performance that convincingly integrates the character's pronounced physical frailty and her tenacious inner resolve. Her gentle alto rings with the depth and marred beauty of a weathered bell." ~ By Philip Collins, MetroActive

"Charles' performance as Fosca is superb both vocally and dramatically." ~ Aisle Say in San Francisco

"Charles makes 'Loving You' a musical and emotional peak of the show" ~ San Francisco Chronicle

"Sarah Dacey Charles….A veteran performer (currently in the ensemble of "Les Miserables" on Broadway) has a well-trained and well-rehearsed voice that is clear and extraordinarily beautiful in any range.

Her comedic spirit adds considerable impact to several of the songs … Sarah Dacey Charles' new show …is a first-rate exploration in song of the longing for and the granting of unconditional and non-judgmental love …Readers have one more opportunity (this time around) to hear Sarah Dacey Charles.

RE: Sarah as Miss Prism in Ernest in Love:

"Another actress who has completely embraced her character is Sarah Dacey Charles as Miss Prism. …Charles actually turns the woman into a sexual creature, a bit predatory but still discreet. It was a nice switch on a character all too often played in rank imitation of Rutherford. Prism's musical duet with William Ryall … is a highlight of this edition of the show" ~ Ernest In Love EDGE Entertainment - Reviewed by J. Peter Bergman

"Sarah Dacey Charles is delightful as the pedantic governess" ~ TheatreScene.net - Reviewed by Victor Gluck

Re: Sarah as title role in Bertolt Brecht's The Mother:

Re: Sarah As Annie Jump Cannon in Silent Sky

Lynne Soffer and Sarah Dacey Charles sparkle as Williamina and Annie Jump Cannon, the wisecracking women who do the grunt work for the geniuses at Harvard. ~ Karen D'Souza, The San Jose Mercury News.

The outwardly prim but passionate, Sarah Dacey Charles plays fellow computer, Annie Jump Cannon… They embody not only the degree to which women were kept in subsidiary, unrecognized roles in the sciences… but also the rising tide of the women's suffrage movement. ~ Robert Herwitt, SF Chronicle
