"What filled the void was the impressively, mind blowing, out of nowhere, sent from the gods performance by the mother figure, Alexandra Rush.

"The fact is, there was never a moment of this production where Rush was both delivering a line and not the most interesting character onstage. When she was onstage and not delivering a line, she was still often the person most worth watching, because her focus never wavered from the character. Her performance was so sincere and charismatic that I was constantly watching her to see where she would take Rose (and by extension, Birdlace) next and I don’t remember a moment where her delivery disappointed. If I ever get the chance to see another performance of Dogfight (and let’s face it, Pasek & Paul just won half of an EGOT and this is their biggest show with rights available, so I will), I cannot imagine comparing the next performance of Rose favorably to Rush’s."

"Alexandra Rush plays party girl Carol. Her powerhouse voice is wonderfully featured in "Holding out for a Hero" and "Don't Cry Out Loud."
