Read the REVIEW here, by Jeffrey Walker with DC Theater Arts: “In Ludwig’s adaptation, the final suspect also comes to Poirot’s aid by combining the married Countess Andrenyi with the doctor who can examine the murder victim[…] This plot twist adds a little pep to Poirot’s step, as the detective is momentarily smitten by the young and attractive countess. Of course, it also adds a complication. Shelby Young effortlessly portrays the Countess, and her scenes with Padilla’s Poirot add an unrequited romantic twist to the mysterious journey.”

Read REVIEW 1 here, by Bob Ashby with DC Theater Arts: “It is through the women that the class distinctions are brought most vividly to life[…] A fine soprano, Shelby Young’s Lady Caroline Neville is in second class, leaving her more affluent background in the UK to marry her lover.”

Read REVIEW 2 here, by Mark Dreisonstok with the Falls Church News-Press: “There is also the upper-class Lady Caroline (Shelby Young), who is eloping to the United States with middle-class [fiancé] Charles Clarke (Cristian Bustillos). The two performers duet beautifully and powerfully in the romantic “I Give You My Hand.””

Upper Room Theatre Ministry presents…

Shelby Young to join the ensemble of R&H’s Cinderella (performed in the round) as the Ridicule Lady with Upper Room Theatre Ministry.

Read the REVIEW here, by Laura Mills with DC Theater Arts: “What truly stands out in this production for me is the ensemble. These singers, dancers, and movers are the backbone of the show, providing exquisite vocals and banter while moving pieces seamlessly between scenes. The updated orchestrations are especially gorgeous when the ensemble adds their superb blending and delicious diction.”

Read the REVIEW here, by Charles Green with DC Theater Arts: “Shelby Young is deliciously evil as both the Wicked Witch of the West and Miss Gulch. Her puns and insults against the others are wonderfully funny. Her screams are perfect, when she sees her sister crushed under Dorothy’s house, and at her death scene.”

Read the REVIEW here, by Bob Ashby with DC Theater Arts: “As [Anne], Shelby Young has the pure, high soprano sound needed for her ingénue role, first on display in “Soon.” Young handles well Anne’s second act awakening to the fact that she has real feelings to act upon, beyond the frivolousness she has used to keep them at bay.”

Read REVIEW 1 here, by Helen Ganley with Maryland Theatre Guide: “Betrothed to Drood was Rosa Bud, portrayed by Shelby Young. Young was an operatic songbird with a crown of curls, her quivering vibrato engulfing the room, hitting every note with precision and delicacy. Together, [Young and Gumina] meshed wonderfully in “Perfect Strangers,” a giddy song about the realization that you feel the same way about a situation.”

Read REVIEW 2 here, by Matré Grant with DC Theater Arts: “Shelby Young is not your average ingénue. Not only is she a classically trained soprano with a breathtakingly chilling voice that soars over the ensemble in just the right places, but she also possesses serious acting chops. Gumina and Young’s balanced harmonies blend gorgeously in their duet “Perfect Strangers.””

Read the REVIEW here, by Bob Ashby from DC Theater Arts: “Shelby Young has the perfect soprano voice for Johanna. Her “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” is lovely, and she fortunately plays the character as less ditzy than many actors have done [… Young and August] capably manage the difficult timing of ‘Kiss Me.’”
