What are people saying about Carisa

"Carisa Barreca, a woman with bona fide musical chops and an appearance that allows for references to platinum blondes and Barbies, is a high smarts asset."
-Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“Barreca – a classic blond bombshell with a fearless goofiness that evokes the rubber-faced Lucille Ball" 
-Chicago Theater Beat

"Barreca a glamorous screwball right out of Old Hollywood"
-Darel Jevens, Chicago SunTimes

"Actor, improviser, writer, singer, dancer, and choreographer, Carisa Barreca is one to watch!"
- Chicago Theater Review 


"Barreca, who so confidently rides the razor’s edge between bubbly and deranged, shines!"
-TimeOut Chicago 

"Barreca lulls an audience into a false sense of security, only to pounce with her panther-like comedy reflexes and her razor-sharp wit. "
-Chicago Stage Review 


"The break-out performance belongs to Barreca. Her facial expressions and comedic timing hit the mark and her humor feels warm and less cynical. It’s the human equivalent of spiked eggnog – sweet and intoxicating."
- Misha Davenport, Chicago SunTimes 

"Carisa Barreca is powerful and delightful in the style of Kate McKinnon."
-Marissa Oberlander, Chicago Reader​

"Barreca has a stunning voice" 
-Samantha Nelson, Stage and Screen 

"With a wit and physicality that recall Lucille Ball and Carol Burnett, Carisa was a more than welcome addition to any scene she was in."
-Marielle Shaw, Third Coast Review

"Sparkling!"  
-Heidi Weiss, Chicago SunTimes

"Nicely off-kilter"  
-Nina Metz, Chicago Tribune
