Brittany Santos, in the lead role of Maria, was a surprise. Her voice is outstanding, powerful, and has an angelic clarity that is perfect for the role [...] Physically, she fits the role as well, bringing a petite, youthful innocence with a burgeoning sense of self-determination. In her first scene, she is a timid and obedient young girl; in her final strut across the stage, she is a young woman who has looked tragedy in the eye and overcome some of the trials of adulthood. -Julinda D. Lewis, RVArt

But the show’s singing and dancing are uniformly excellent, with Brittany Santos providing the most mesmerizing vocals as Maria. -Tony Farrell, Richmond Times Dispatch

Santos gives a consistently authentic performance... -Jeremy Bustin, BroadwayWorld

Musically, Brittany Santos takes on a somewhat more demanding role as Maria. She’s at the top of her form as the clearest and most articulate voice in the quintet “Tonight,” [...] Then she must abruptly switch tones for the sparkling, operetta-like “I Feel Pretty.” Tall and thin, Santos also delivers a sense of Maria’s vulnerable fragility. -James MacKillop, Syracuse New Times

Brittany Santos [is] a radiant Maria whose gorgeous voice is pitch-perfect and demonstrates an impressive flexibility in both range and expression. -Linda Lowen, Syracuse.com

Brittany Santos not only possesses the perfect features for Maria, but her trained voice soars. No surprise, then, that when the two characters perform together, both the haunting 'Tonight' on the balcony and 'One Hand, One Heart' at the bridal shop become inspiring highlights… -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage

But amidst the character-driven chaos there are two talented young performers who stand out for their simple, refreshingly heartfelt performances - as well as their clear, warm voices. As Young Ebenezer and Belle, Logan Farine and Brittany Santos show rare chemistry in their blush of first love, as well as the difficulty of parting when Ebenezer chooses his bankbook over his betrothed. It may be a Christmas cliché, but their theatrical futures look bright. -Michael T. Mooney, BroadwayWorld

Carrying the weight of the show’s biggest solo, “What I Did for Love,” is delicate Brittany Santos as Diana, who delivers deeply felt, heart-rending emotion. Santos also displays comic chops in “Nothing,” when the dancer Diana flees from acting classes calling for the embodiment of expressive action. -James MacKillop, Syracuse New Times

The show moved me to tears on three occasions, none more so than Brittany Santos, expressing the dancer’s passion for us all with the moving standard “What I Did For Love." -Bryan VanCampen, Ithaca.com
