“Abigail Marks is a constant delight as both Fanny, the girls’ greedy sister-in-law, and Mrs. Jennings, their nosy, matchmatching neighbor.'“ -LA Times
Abigail Marks steals the show with her exuberant performances as the termagant Fanny and the nurturing matchmaker Mrs. Jennings. -Talkin’ Broadway
A sensational Marks is as manipulatively malevolent as Fanny Dashwood as her Mrs. Jenning is gossipy and gregarious. -Stage Scene LA
Marks [is] scene-stealing, in her very showy roles.” - On Stage
"She brings a Mae West energy – all-knowing, but without the nudge and wink – her eyes dazzled by the sights around her, her mind never losing focus on her purpose for being there. When she is on stage, she’s all you want to witness.” -Theatre Times*.

“Marks is frighteningly spot-on!” -People’s World.
“A dominating, tour de force performance.” - Paul Myrvold's Theatre-Notes
