*Jeff Nominated Actor in a Supporting Role*
"The production is rich in truths and is utterly shorn of the artifice that some hate about Broadway musicals, even this one. That’s because the scene work is so good, especially that which involves Stenholt, the pivotal so-called “Middle Alison” and a young actress pulsing here with insecurity and hope.

"You know you’re in good hands early: “Over the Rainbow” is the first tune up, and as Dorothy, Elizabeth Stenholt obviously has mighty shoes to fill (it is impossible to hear the song without thinking of Judy Garland). Stenholt makes it her own, with a melodic yearning that is somehow equal parts intimacy and grandeur."
-Chicago Sun-Times Catey Sullivan
"Dorothy ( beautifully portrayed by Elizabeth Stenholt, who truly makes you forget Judy ?)"
-Around the Town Chicago Alan Bresloff
"To begin with, there is Elizabeth Stenholt’s wonderfully natural, warmly sung performance as Dorothy. Stenholt left a vivid impression as Wendy in Chicago Shakespeare Theater’s recent production of “Peter Pan.” And in this role (with her uncanny physical resemblance to the young Judy Garland) she brings a similar mix of inner strength, independence and directness.
Without question an actress to watch."
-WTTW Hedy Weiss
"There's a melancholy thriller in the story of Thomasina Coverly (Elizabeth Stenholt, who is excellent), a brilliant teenage mathematician, and her handsome tutor Septimus Hodge."
- Chicago Tribune Chris Jones
"...we meet Thomasina Coverly (the winningly natural Elizabeth Stenholt), a 13-year-old girl with more than a touch of genius"
-Chicago Sun-Times Hedy Weiss
"Elizabeth Stenholt’s Wendy possesses both strength and warmth, and she does a fine job of mothering Peter and his rowdy pals, the Lost Boys"
-WTTW Hedy Weiss
