SUSAN ASBJORNSON
Reviews
"Glamour and vulnerability...fresh appeal...
exciting high notes"
--Joel Hirschhorn, DAILY VARIETY
"...an amazing performance by the beautiful Susan Asbjornson
and memories for a lifetime... Highly Recommended...
From the moment Susan Asbjornson steps into the playing area,
the music and acting is fast and furious.
Beginning with a sultry interpretation of an aria...
the expressive soprano ... is so focused, yet so relaxed..."
--Jacob Clark, Metro LA

"Prozmann and Asbjornson have developed a wonderfully
funny, talent-full, two-act show that has the audience
laughing hysterically (this writer included), crying with Mimi,
flouncing with Carmen, and a great time was
had by all. Asbjornson has a terrific soprano delivery,
excellent acting ability, (a great body) and some killer wigs."
--Madeleine Shaner, Park La Brea News

"As the conniving duo of Queen Isabel and
Lord Mortimer, Susan Asbjornson and Jack Harding
deliver credible portrayals...approach their roles with
passionate conviction"
--Les Spindle, Back Stage West

"We also get some musical humor with [Susan Asbjornson]
--after she betrays King Edward II her singing becomes
strident and hysterical. She returns to a more dulcet
register when they reconcile.
--David Avery, CURTAINUP.COM

Asbjornson's exquisite soprano voice was vibrant.
Her
performance was
filled with fun, sensuality, and
nonsense as well as a classic element. She
dazzled the audience with her vivacious
presence. Her
extravagant costumes were used to
their full advantage as her theatrical presentation...
each aria was lively ...with a bodacious and
playful Asbjornson. The music was
beautiful
and the audience was very appreciative.
It was an evening of incredible music and refreshing fun. "

"Susan Asbjornson makes for a very
shy and delicate Micaela, with a heart-
rendering aria in Act III that earns her
sympathy and accolades simultaneously"
--Michael Rydzynski, Irvine World News
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Susan Asbjornson, as Micaela, proved
herself to be a gifted singer throughout,
delivering the aria with simplicity
and poise."
--Peter Lefevre, Orange County Register
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"...notably Susan Asbjornson's performance
as Becky (her accent and demeanor are
absolutely hilarious.)"
--Elizabeth Spear, Daily Breeze
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Susan Asbjornson, a soprano in the
Libeslieder
Singers, stands out among
her peers, delivering the verve and
carriage necessary to pull the part off
with finesse."
--Elizabeth Spear, Daily Breeze
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"With [a] vibrant and crystalline voice,
[she] gave a somber yet expressive
performance."
--Michael Rydzynski, Irvine World News
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Special kudos to Susan Asbjornson
whose semi-slapstick "Poor Wandering
One" had people roaring with laughter
in spite of the fact that they were hearing
one of the most beautiful voices around."
--Bernard Levine, Chord Lite
