“Ethel Merman was the bombshell belter in the 1934 Broadway run, and the 1936 film. She played Reno Sweeney, a free-wheeling evangelist loosely based on Aimee Semple McPherson. Katherine Lench follows in those big footsteps for Cabrillo and has the vitality and pipes to do the role justice. Lench’s voice has quality beyond the ooopm level and lends appealing touch to the edges of her big songs and her deft miniatures.”….Rita Moran….Anything Goes…Cabrillo Music Theater, Thousand Oaks, CA

“Kudos go-double for Katherine Lench as the brassy Reno Sweeney, a role originated by Ethel Merman. Lench’s powerhouse vocal performance alone is worth the price of admission.”….Anything Goes…Cabrillo Music Theater, Thousand Oaks, CA

“Katherine Lench’s Maisie can really sing.”…The Boyfriend…..Sondra Lowell, LA Times

“…Her name is Katherine Lench. She plays the role of Maisie; she is charming, animated, agile, funny, a terrific dancer and singer, and looks like a cross between Streisand and Penny Marshall….I suggest to producers and casting directors who make the rounds of little theater in search of talent to look at and listen to Katherine Lench….a 9.9 for a discovery.”…The Boyfriend in Los Angeles…Gary Franklin, KFWB Radio

“Good points, too for Katherine Lench (Rebecca), whose ingenue is part imp, part doll, all woman.” ..The Medicine Show in Philadelphia….Derek S.B. Davis

“…Especially with Dinah Donewell, played by Katherine Lench in a puffy half-mask, and a piping voice well suited to lines like “Cannot fight” Tut, you bashful butcher.”……Liberty’s Taken, directed by Julie Taymor in Ipswich, Massachusetts…Skip Ascheim

“…In Particular, Katherine Lench’s portrayal of the vampish Desiree Armfeldt is especially engaging; her countenance and carriage create a most alluring aura of sensuality.”…. A Little Night Music…Colorado Springs.

“…In PCPA’s “Funny Girl”, Katherine Lench skillfully plays up the comic gawkiness of Fanny Brice and shows us the change from Brice as a class clown to the world to a woman grown comfortable with show biz success.”……Funny Girl, Solvang, CA.

“On the serious side, one ballad in particular is a standout; “I’ll Wait for Joe,” a tip of the hat to those old Harold Arlen classics like “The Man That Got Away” and “One For My Baby,” Katherine Lench is the wench with the torch as big as Lady Liberty’s.”..Ron Mulligan….Solly’s Follies…Los Angeles

“…Lench fares best with the two pleasing ballads, “I’ll Wait for Joe” and “Cake.”…..Jay Reiner……Solly’s Follies…Los Angeles
