AIDA
"Montego Glover is a fascinating amalgam,
small and lithe enough to suggest a warrior princess itching for action, yet with reserves
of old-soul gravitas, her voice sounds like an
entire gospel choir packed within her small
buff frame."
Boston Globe
"The star of this vehicle is the tiny, vital and enchanting Montego Glover, as the Nubian Princess. Her Aida is splendific - a true wonder to observe. Her voice is radiant and she sings with her entire body giving her characterization of the princess/slave an almost spirtitual quality. Glover is a talent we will be in awe of for years to come."

The real star of the evening is Glover, who possesses a dynamite voice that rattles the rafters. She's a bit Diana Ross, a bit Tina Turner, and a bit Aretha. Glover impresses from her first notes in the opening number "Underground", gets it all gospel with "Make Me Stronger", and belts with "Love Will Stand When All Else Falls." Her dramatic passion in "Colored Woman" energizes the very air of the theatre providing goosebumps.
TheaterMania
"Montego Glover is, quite simply, a star. Every time she opens her mouth you'll feel the hair on the back of your neck stand up, so pure is her voice and so direct are her emotions."
