  MEGHAN RANDOLPH

Reviews 

SELECT PERFORMANCE REVIEWS
Sweeney Todd (Middleton Players Theatre)

"Randolph ends a sweet pathos to Mrs. Lovett...she smartly doesn’t try to channel Angela Lansbury, relying instead on expressive acting and her own powerhouse vocals to generate sympathy for her devil. This is a role that very much suits her talents." -Madison Magazine

Zombies From The Beyond (Skylight Music Theatre) 
"Meghan Randolph as the love hungry secretary stops the show with a belting “Blast Off Baby” as she takes the male cast’s measurements for space suits." 
-Urban Milwaukee 


"As the wisecracking girl Friday, Meghan Randolph is sensational. Outfitted with an emerald, polka-dotted dress with plenty of crinolines and a red headed wig à la Lucille Ball, she's the lonely and overworked second banana to a room full of stiff military types. With a bold brassy voice and a smile as big as the Hoan Bridge, she revels in her mission of sewing the boys' spacesuits in 'Blast Off Baby' " 
-On Milwaukee 


"Ms. Randolph is funny and touching." 
-Dave Begel On Theater


Lizzie (Music Theatre of Madison)
"Randolph possesses a serious set of pipes."
- Madison Magazine 


"As the title character, Meghan Randolph exhibits her signature vocal pyrotechnics; she transforms from a broken and confused young girl to a confident, even frightening, woman who feels no remorse for exacting revenge on those who have abused her. Her portrayal of Lizzie’s budding love affair with her neighbor Alice is one of the most poignant and heartfelt parts of the show."
- The Isthmus 
​

Man of La Mancha (Four Seasons Theatre) 
"The role shows off Randolph’s tremendous vocal range. She toggles between spitting out bitter verses as if she were hurling musical indictments and gentle elegiac pleading with Quixote to call her “Dulcinea” once more. Her easy mastery of the top of the soprano scale is also breathtaking." - The Isthmus 

Jesus Christ Superstar (Middleton Players Theatre)
"
Meghan Randolph's Pontius Pilate, meanwhile, was a jolt of electricity that totally galvanized the show's second act. Her troubled prefect was almost jarringly modern in a leather Matrix jacket, oversized silver earrings and raccoon-streak makeup. All the power of Randolph's voice was on display—seriously, that woman can sing—but she also gets credit for capturing the nuance of her character."  - Madison Magazine on Jesus Christ Superstar

35MM: A Musical Exhibition (Music Theatre of Madison)
"It's no surprise when Meghan Randolph blows the doors off." -Madison Magazine on 35MM

Bat Boy (University Theatre) 
"The show is anchored vocally by Meghan Randolph...sharp comic timing and nuances"
- 77 Square 

"Majestic vocals." - The Badger Herald

She Loves Me (Four Seasons Theatre) 
"An exceptional character actress." - 77 Square

"Brightens up the stage with just right comedic timing." -The Isthmus 

Side By Side By Sondheim (Four Seasons Theatre)
"A force of nature"-77 Square on Side by Side by Sondheim

john & jen (Music Theatre of Madison)
"A strong, likable singer and actress." -Isthmus on
john & jen 

Performance of "Surabaya Santa" at a holiday show
"A riot. Randolph nailed it." -77 Square on "Surabaya Santa"

Indecent (Music Theatre of Madison) ​

"A work of genius...gorgeous...truly unforgettable." -The Isthmus

Murder Ballad (Music Theatre of Madison) 
"​
By the end of the stunning performance I was wiping tears away and wondering if I could ever bear to listen to the heartbreaking musical again."..."’ emotional engagement and strong vocals that seemed tailor-made for each role make Murder Ballad soar, tragic as any folk song ever written." -The Isthmus
Murder Ballad (Music Theatre of Madison)
"Straps you in emotionally and doesn't let you go." -Madison Magazine

Little Miss Sunshine (Music Theatre of Madison) 
"Shows how adept Meghan Randolph is at making odd little musicals shine...a big winner...rivals the film." -The Isthmus 

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson (Music Theatre of Madison) 
"I can't remember having more fun at a Madison show all season." -The Isthmus 

Parade  (Music Theatre of Madison) 
"My experience was transformative. I had frankly never had much high regard for this musical, having seen a big stage production of it on tour in Atlanta. I found Meghan Randolph's more intimate staging incomparably more moving and powerful, a production that achieved the goals of the musical’s creators more fully.... MTM's work reminds me that art can disturb as much as it entertains, and that it can do so within the confines of one production."
-Matthew Bernstein, author of Screening A Lynching: The Leo Frank Case on Film and Television, on Parade

Twelve Angry Men 
"An intense, tightly wound production.  Director Meghan Randolph makes strong choices using simple tools. " -77 Square 

Floyd Collins 
"Meghan Randolph found nuances that every other director missed.  Her production of Floyd Collins is the best performance of what has become a 'cult' musical that you are ever likely to see." 

-Roger Brucker, co-author of Trapped!, the nonfiction book on which Floyd Collins is based.
