Barrington Stage Company
The vignette (“Remember The Alamo”) is actually the one that helps the show gain considerable altitude, thanks largely to Ms. Wooley’s powerful voice. Wooley also lends her strong vocal chops to the amusing “Crossing Glacier Bay” segment, as one of the three sisters…she’s well supported in this piece by Jill Abramovitz and Gwen Hollander.
- Elyse Sommer, CurtainUp Review
Things perk up on an Alaskan cruise during which three sisters (Hollander, Wooley, and Abramovitz) attempt to dispose of their father’s ashes. (The) book finds it’s spark with this scene and the women play it so well one wishes the entire show were about their Wendy Wasserstein-ish stoy.
- Frank Rizzo, Variety
As the girl, Lauren, the company gives us Cassie Wooley who plays insensitivity with more sensitivity than should be allowed. She gives a moving, strong performance in this piece.

Merrily We Roll Along
White Horse Theatre Company
Jeremy Morton’s compact production..is brimming with interesting ideas. And there are three terrific performances in three important roles…with a rich lower register and a nicely nerdy sensibility, Cassie Wooley is a delight as Mary. At the end of this likeable show it’s all about young kids dreaming of becoming the “names in tomorrow’s papers.” Some names to watch from White Horse are here in today’s.

Cabaret
Peninsula Players Theatre
Leading the cast is Cassie Wooley playing Sally Bowles. Her character is larger than life, and Ms. Wooley is astonishing. Her stage presence is remarkable and she has a fantastic, rich voice. Most touching is her rendition of “Maybe This Time.” Her character lives “in the moment,” and Ms. Wooley is absolutely believable. She is a charismatic delight.

Fiorello!
Timeline Theatre Company
There’s Cassie Wooley (as Fiorello’s first wife) wrapping her lovely voice around the signature ballad “When Did I Fall In Love”.
- Barbara Vitello, Daily Herald (Chicago)
The glory here are the richly shaped supporting roles. As Fiorello’s first wife, Cassie Wooley makes the most of “Till Tomorrow” an exquisite war waltz.

Tintypes
American Theatre Company
A jaunty onstage band accompanies the tight ensemble – two guys, three gals – and the women in particular show off their big, warm, full voices that were clearly made for belting.
