"Meagan is the perfect
combo of Bette Midler
and Larry Bird."

The Elliot Norton Awards
So honored that TWO of the productions I was in this past theater season were nominated for Elliot Norton awards in numerous categories - including Best Ensemble! See the nominees HERE!
A Man of No Importance
"Meagan Lewis-Michelson commands the stage with a striking presence,
deftly executing beautiful clarinet passages with barely a breath between
them and her singing."
Emily Brenner
Stage and Cinema
"Meagan Lewis-Michelson as Miss Crowe regaled us with her voice as well as with her abilities with the clarinet."
Susan Mufford
Boston and Beyond
"Meagan Lewis-Michelson (Miss Crowe) brought humor, heart, and seamless transitions between acting and playing instruments."
Kapiolani
Booked and Scene
Legally Blonde
"Although Elle Woods is sensational, she has the ideal bestie when she moves to
Harvard, the hairdresser Paulette. In the film, she’s portrayed by the iconic
Jennifer Coolidge. How do you follow that performance? Well, all you have to do
is watch Meagan Lewis-Michelson. You couldn’t take your eyes off of her during
'Ireland,' and I’m sure many a waistband strained from laughter watching
her antics with Kyle the UPS guy."
Celeste Caraker
BroadwayWorld
"Paulette Bonafonté: the lovable and quirky hairstylist (Meagan Lewis-Michelson),
was an absolute delight. Her comedic timing was impeccable, providing some of
the most memorable and laugh-out-loud moments of the show. The portrayal of
Paulette was both hilarious and heartwarming, and her solo numbers, especially
'Ireland,' were delivered with such passion and vocal prowess that they left a
lasting impression. Her character's journey and interactions with Elle added a
wonderful layer of friendship and empowerment to the story."

"The two-legged and four-legged cast on stage with Broadwater are sharing fully dimensional characters, though I probably will especially ring up in memory in years to come Meagan Lewis-Michelson's embodiment of Paulette, the hairdresser-with-attitude."

Always...Patsy Cline
"[T]here’s no recorded music here. When Patsy (the remarkable Meagan Lewis-Michelson) takes the stage and starts to sing, it’s live country all the way...Channeling Cline, versatile vocalist and actor Lewis-Michelson is radiant and literally pitch-perfect. Patsy worked as a soda-fountain waitress in her hometown of Winchester, Virginia before she got her first break, and song after song, Lewis-Michelson illustrates the star’s trajectory with great singing, freshness, and dramatic flair.
By the end of the evening—thanks to a great band and those great songs and Lewis-Michelson’s masterful performance—you will likely feel as if you’ve indeed met the great Miss Patsy Cline."

Sweeney Todd
"Todd Yard's Judge Turpin was coolly odious, while Meagan Lewis-Michelson was comically so as his cohort, a corrupt police officer called the Beadle. Yard and Lewis-Michelson sang the difficult contrapuntal lines of "Kiss Me" with seeming ease."
Robert Nesti
Edge Media Net
"The orchestra, located upstage, does excellent work (the conductor and music director is Dan Ryan). Also assets to this 'Sweeney Todd' are Meagan Lewis-Michelson as Beadle Bamford, Judge Turpin’s toady, and Ethan DePuy as the barber Pirelli."
Don Aucoin
The Boston Globe
The Prom
"Dee Dee and Barry’s hard-working PR person [is] Sheldon Saperstein, an excellent Meagan Lewis-Michelson."
Jacquinn Sinclair

"Meagan Lewis-Michelson keeps the comic relief fizzing."
Gillian Daniels
The New England Theatre Geek
"With publicist Sheldon (a charismatic Meagan Lewis-Michelson) along for the adventure, the five 'liberal democrats from Broadway' head to Indiana."
Linda Chin

The Winter Wonderettes
"Meagan is a hoot in this comic role, especially funny when she crawls back onstage after intermission."
Michael Hoban
New England Theatre Mirror
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Nat'l Tour
"Meagan Michelson as [Mike's] pill-popping mother delivers a comedic highlight with her performance of 'That Little Man of Mine.'"
Jill Willson

BroadwayWorld Cabaret
"A musical theatre beltress turned a lot of frowns upside down with a little thing called HOUSEBOUND SOUNDS...When an entertainer has a voice that big, it must never be silenced...In the last year, Meagan Michelson has filmed forty-one music videos in an online series titled HOUSEBOUND SOUNDS...everything from Broadway belt-y classic to iconic pop songs...Meagan Michelson has been an ongoing source of musical, comedic, and poignant entertainment since April 25th, 2020, much to the delight and relief of her social media followers."

"The oft-working singer/actor/cabaret diva works around the country and around the city, bringing her fabulosity to every role she plays and in her one-woman show 'Mother Mary Says To Me' she pays tribute to her own mother, Mary, in all her Bostonian, Irish-Catholic sensibilities."
Stephen Mosher
"With covers of songs made famous by The Beatles, Carole King, Barbra Striesand and Liza Minnelli, people really will enjoy them, as Meagan makes each number uniquely her own."

"Meagan Michelson plays Miss Hannigan, the orphanage's caretaker and overall troublemaker. It was clear that Michelson was having as much fun playing the role, as the audience had watching her. I especially
liked the fact that she was more childish and immature than most of the 8 year olds in her care."

"Miss Hannigan is played so wonderfully and comically by Meagan Michelson
that you almost want to like her."

"Rosie [is] played by the heir apparent to Bette Midler, Meagan Michelson."

Mother Mary Says to Me
"[The show] expressed the kind of gratitude one hopes to share with their own mother figure. I wish I had brought my Mom to see it; MMSTM had the kind of edge my Mumma Geek enjoys, and the heart to put a twinkle in anyone’s eye...Michelson has an invigorating belt that colors her storytelling with a spectrum of colors...This shading is particularly evident in her rendition of “I Can’t Make You Love Me.” It’s a funny but sad moment of reminiscing on romantic disappointments...[H]er voice’s color really shines...Michelson performs for us with vulnerability and comedic bravada. This performance was sold out – and with good reason. Next time she’s in town, be sure to buy your tickets early."

"ANNIE was the first show I saw on Broadway when I was 6 and I have seen it numerous times since. Meagan was BY FAR the best Miss Hannigan I have ever seen."
