She tackles the differing musical styles with grace and ease.”

- “Gifted songstress … she's one of the best singers in Cabaret. Her voice is a sheer and unadulterated pleasure. Her approach to material is thoughtful, and she's as expressive as the finest actress, and she does what she set out to do in an expert and at times brilliant manner. Borofsky makes Karen Akers and Helen Schneider look like Betty Boop.”
