reviews

Eurydice

“The chorus of stones (Adriana Chavez, Aurora Maria Murphy, and Bethany Nicole Taylor) are a hoot”

Mary LaFrance, Talkin’ Broadway

The craft’d: an unauthorized musical parody

“Aurora [Maria] Murphy (credited as The Other Girl), [who] is hilarious as the woman characters, such as Nancy’s mother, and Lirio, the owner of the occult bookshop.”

– Erik Engman, Eat More Art Vegas

“But secondary characters also steal scenes, like… Aurora [Maria] Murphy, who doubles as Nancy’s chainsmoking mom and the psychic shop owner.”

– Amber Sampson, Las Vegas Weekly

References to salvador dalí make me hot

“Aurora Watts-Esquibel is enticing and sinuous, feline and intriguing; I could watch her Cat play with that oversized ball of yarn for more than we’re allowed.”

– Dreaming Out Loud by Timothy Cummings

​”Aurora Watts-Esquibel and José Anthony are charming and delightful as the Cat and Coyote, playfully flirting between love, sex, and death.”​

– Erik Engman, Eat More Art Vegas
