“Ooz(ing) with feisty energy, backed by (her) fierce musical dexterity”
“Reich is a showboat with a great set of pipes that bear an uncanny resemblance to Gaga’s own, and she’s got more than a few aces up her sleeve. Her version of The Edge of Glory - rechristened here as The Edge of Labour - has her climbing over every inch of an upright piano while playing it (frequently upside-down). It’s hilarious, impressive and savvy... (Reich has) the promise of (a) star.”
“Genuine stage presence”
“Incredible... Hilarious”
“An overall stage presence that makes you feel as though she’s reached out and hugged you with her smile, her soul...”
