THE LAST FIVE YEARS, Playhouse On Park, West Hartford, CT:   Vocally, Carey Anderson's Cathy has no trouble being heard.  Whether she's belting an anthem or coursing through a soft ballad, Anderson's voice is always clear and engaging.  Although her story follows a reverse chronology,  she manages from the beginning to hint at the distinct elements of Cathy's personality that have impacted the relationship from the start.   Andrew Beck, Hartford Examiner ALL SHOOK UP, Artpark, Lewiston, NY:   As his should-be love interest, Natalie, Carey Anderson—is exuberantly charming and sings gloriously. Anthony Chase, Artvoice, Buffalo AVENUE Q, National Tour: Carey Anderson gives Kate Monster, a romantic soul who dreams of opening a school for monsters, so many appealing qualities that it's easy to get invested in her rocky quest for love. Her big solo, "There's a Fine, Fine Line" (as in "there's a fine, fine line/between love and a waste of time"), is a real heartbreaker. -Deborah Martin, San Antonio Express-News As Kate, New Castle native Carey Anderson offers an earthy approach and a disarmingly natural singing voice that were delightful on opening night. Anderson's steamy portrayal of Lucy the Slut, complete with swiveling hips and breathy Mae West inflections, showed great range. -Whitney Smith, Indianapolis Star Princeton may be the center of the show -- but for my money, Anderson is the real star. She charms early as a giggly, girlish Kate, infatuated with Princeton and thrilled at the romantic implications of his "Mix Tape." Then she vamps it up as Lucy the Slut, all gravelly voice and flipping blonde curls. -Lindsay Christians,  The Capital Times, Madison, WI Ashton Byrum and Carey Anderson make a lovely couple in underwritten roles, and Anderson does a memorable drunk scene. The Girl Friend, Back Stage Reviewed by Victor Gluck The leads are fine; as the heroine, Carey Anderson has a sweet sort of Ginger Rogers earnestness to her. -The Girl Friend, Off Broadway.com Reviewed by David Cleaver Carey Anderson was winsome and winning as the girl of his affections. - Review by Elias Stimac, The Off-Off Broadway Review, My Favorite Year
