Full Review of Mary Todd in Variety

"No question that this Mary Todd has a need to explain herself, and Wallnau delivers her lines
briskly, rarely taking the time to lick her lips. But she isn't going too fast to be understood -- either in speech or
in capturing the essence of Mary Todd Lincoln...
She certainly is doing first-rate work with this first lady." Peter Filichia Star-Ledger Staff

"...a glorious
complex of construction as Mary's story, told in a non-linear manner of flashes that move forward and back in time, keeps
us (the audience) moving through arcs upon arcs: arcs of experience, arcs of emotions, and arcs of meaning." Dr. Linda Cahir Professor of English Centenary College
