A Christmas Carol
McCarter Theater
Directed by Michael Unger

Choreography by Rob Ashford

"Once again, the annual production of A Christmas Carol is a winner. This year's edition at the Princeton playhouse scored mightily at Friday's opening. The audience interrupted the proceedings several times with rounds of applause - something that hasn't always happened in previous years. At the head of the production, director Michael Unger gets great joy from his cast." - The Star-Ledger

Fiddler on the Roof

Ogunquit Playhouse

Directed by BT McNicholl

with Sally Struthers and Eddie Mekka
 

"Tevye's three oldest daughters, Tzeitel, Hodel and Chava played by Catia Ojeda, Laura Shoop and Lilly Tobin...are delightful in their quest for release from the suffocation of their surroundings." - Portsmouth Herald News  View

"Dramatic Fiddler is sum of its brilliant acting, set, sound. The Ogunquit production is brilliant, a dazzling theatrical achievement. " -SeascoastOnline  View

"The three older daughters are a well-cast, dancing ensemble. Laura Shoop, as second daughter Hodel, has an especially strong voice; Catia Ojeda is an attractive, believable oldest daughter Tzeitel, and petite Lilly Tobin is indeed a "little bird."     - The York Independent  View

 

Into the Woods
Saint Michael's Playhouse
Directed and Choreographed by Gregory Ramos

"Lilly Tobin clearly understands that Little Red Ridinghood is not just a one dimensional character intent on getting to grandma's house and aptly pulls off the difficult to reconcile elements of innocence and sarcasm." -Burlington Free Press

"Lilly Tobin played Little Red Riding Hood as the cute little girl who plays it for all it's worth, and it was very effective and funny." -Times Argus  View

"Lilly Tobin is just plain terrific as Little Red Ridinghood. Musical Director, Thomas Cleary has some terrific singers in the cast, and their solo and ensemble work is  excellent, especially (Marc Tumminelli, Lilly Tobin, John Patrick Hayden, and Abby Lee)  in the quintet Your Fault." - North Country Public Radio Listen   View

On the Town

Main Hall Theater, Staten Island

Directed by William Martin
Choregraphed by Rusty Curcio

"The show's major dazzle comes from several actresses who create larger-than-life characters. In particular, Hildy (Lilly Tobin), a sassy taxi-driver who's very forward in her pursuit of a sailor. While some might call her attempts to throw her body at Chip -- who is loyally focused on seeing the tourist's New York instead of Hildy's apartment -- the actions of a loose woman, Tobin is never less than charming and sincere in her every wacky moment.

There are plenty of laughs throughout and the ensemble brings the light-hearted tale to life -- but the women are the true stars of this show."
