WHAT THEY'RE SAYING"
"Barton navigates the complex dynamics between characters, each grappling with the aftermath of Nora’s departure. The tension crackles with unresolved issues and shifting power dynamics."
Mia Christou’s Nora is a force to be reckoned with - confident yet vulnerable, her return a mixture of triumph and trepidation. Peter Zizzo brings depth to Torvald, revealing layers of hurt and confusion beneath his composed exterior.
Barton’s direction shines in the play’s quieter moments. He allows silences to speak volumes, letting the weight of years apart hang in the air. The result is a production that feels both intimate and expansive, tackling big ideas while never losing sight of the human story at its core.
"Boldly mannered, Christou’s portrayal is underpinned by stringent subtlety." - Stage Raw
"We are swept up in Barton’s nearly-flawless staging… perfectly realized." - Stage Raw
"Peter Zizzo is virtuosic as the sadly “broken” Torvald. while a wonderful Lisa Robins, sporting a mop of wildly unkempt hair, is drolly matter-of-fact as Nora’s former nanny Anne-Marie." - Stage Raw
"Every single actor is strong and deep. There is not a weak or false note in the whole cast. Bravo, everyone! " - Amalisha HuEck, Discover Hollywood
"These characters morph through so many emotions it’s incredible to watch. Nora is all strength and resolve at first, but once Emmy meets her, something she was trying desperately to avoid, her walls begin to crumble as she sees herself in this strong beguiling young woman." NoHo Arts District
"The performances by these extraordinary actors are phenomenal."
" The confrontation and real feelings are expressed with such deep conviction of their view on life in such an organic, fluid, and sensitive nature." - Amalisha HuEck, Discover Hollywood
"Peter Zizzo’s Torvald was an absolute delight." - Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros - NoHo Arts District
"Mia Christou’s Nora was a bold and beautiful choice. Almost goddess-like in her stage presence, her facade cracking ever so slightly" - Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros - NoHo Arts District
"Tati Jorio as Emmy was exquisite and formidable and Lisa Robbins almost stole the show as Anne-Marie!" - Samantha Simmonds-Ronceros - NoHo Arts District
"The New Nora... Allen Barton's staging in Beverly Hills is a refreshing take on an old classic..." - Don Shirley, Angeles Stage
"In a final observation, Nora enthuses that in just 20 or 30 years, her dream of a free society, where women are no longer subject to the “bad rules” that have previously constrained them, will finally be realized. Some 150 years later, with our retrospective knowledge of the oppression still suffered by women worldwide, it’s an almost unbearably poignant moment — a stark reminder of how far we have come and, sadly, how much ground we have lost." - Kathleen Foley - STAGE RAW
"Christou is the production’s lynchpin but a superlative cast is well up to the standard she sets. As Emmy, Nora’s daughter, who rankles under her mother’s manipulativeness, Tati Jorio could have been dwarfed by the savvy veterans around her but holds her own." - Stage Raw
"Mia Christou... is portraying Nora in Part 2 - 15 years later, when she returns to talk to her husband about the divorce. Incredibly creative, she truly shines in this production." - Amalisha HuEck, Discover Hollywood.
