Quotes
“Elisa Colla is in fine voice as Cinderella, making ‘No One Is Alone’ one of the evenings highlights. She is perfectly cast as the kind and good-natured princess.”
Theatre People (Into the Woods)
“Be prepared for Colla’s voice to absolutely blow you away. Her stunning operatic vocals hitting high above the production and soaring out into the enchanted crowd.”
