Keala Settle Wins Over Broadway Critics

CONGRATULATIONS to our very own Keala Settle for her hilarious and critically acclaimed performance as Madame Thenardier in the new Broadway revival of “Les Misérables,” which opened March 23, 2014, at New York’s Imperial Theatre. Read some of the outstanding quotes for Keala and her partner in crime actor Cliff Saunders (pictured together with the ensemble):

• “A masterful "Master Of The House" led by the ribald Cliff Saunders and Keala Settle.”  – Associate Press
  
  
• “Cliff Saunders and particularly Keala Settle (Hands on a Hardbody) prove hilariously bawdy scene-stealers as the shady, dog-eat-dog Thénardiers.”  – Entertainment Weekly
  
  
• “Tony-nominee Keala Settle (“Hands on a Hardbody”) is a scenery-chewing Madame Thenardier.”  -- NBC New York
  
  
• “Keala Settle (“Hands on a Hardbody”) and Cliff Saunders are fantastically funny as the Thénardiers.”  – New York Post
  
  
• “Keala Settle toys impressively with the line between cruel and just horridly coarse.” -- Newsday
