Madeline Pell

"Maddie Pell plays Harriet Smith and others, and you couldn’t ask for a more flexible actress: as the play went on, I found myself able to distinguish her multiple characterizations in a millisecond based on her facial expression alone, even before I noted the playful physicalizations attached to each role."

-Karen Topham, Chicago Onstage (Emma)

" Gertrude (played with pitch-perfect softness of tone and firmness of belief by Madeline Pell)..."

     -Splash Magazines (An Ideal Husband)

 "Mrs. Whatsit (Madeline Pell, great), her quote-spouting friend, Mrs. Who  (Javier Ferreira, also great) and the somewhat invisible Mrs. Which  (Carmen Molina, completing the trifecta of greatness)..."

        -TimeOut Chicago (A Wrinkle In Time)

"Mrs. Whatsit, the youngest of three supernatural ladies, whose lives  have spanned centuries and galaxies, is played with humor and  intelligence by Madeline Pell."

     -Chicago Theatre & Concert Reviews (A Wrinkle in Time)

"...Harriet (Madeline Pell, in an endearingly naifish performance)..."

-Kerry Reid, Chicago Tribune (Emma)

"In one memorable scene, Maddie Pell, a promising young character actor, hops up and down as she flips between Miss Bates, a good-hearted but silly spinster, and Harriet Smith, Emma's amiable but less-than-bright protégée."

-Emily McClanathan, Broadway World (Emma)
