REVIEWS:

"Presley Ryan, 13, of New York City, performs an Annie worthy of the grand stage, where she has been before, on Broadway in Fun Home and at Madison Square Garden as Cindy Lou Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas!  Ms. Ryan’s voice is strong, crisp and clear, and her evolving relationship with Mr. Warbucks, played just right by George Dvorsky, is at first engaging and then heartwarming."—The Observer

"This cast is spectacular, pure and simple. Presley Ryan gives an impressive performance as Annie. Her beautiful voice, and spot-on comedic timing are well beyond her years. She is simply a pleasure to watch, directly from her opening number of “Maybe”."—The Theatre Guide

"Broadway's Presley Ryan is terrific as our red headed heroine. Annie's hopeful attitude and positivity are well executed by Ms. Ryan and receives roaring applause for her performances of the iconic "Tomorrow" and "Maybe". Additionally, Ms. Ryan makes a great team with George Dvorsky, another Broadway vet, in the role of Mr. Warbucks. Their rendition of "I Don't Need Anything But You" is charming and charismatic and you can sense their connection."—Broadway World

"Presley Ryan shines as the redheaded orphan "Annie" at the John W. Engeman Theater in Northport."  "Annie is played by Broadway vet Presley Ryan (“Fun Home”), who wisely gives the famed cartoon character a bit of street smarts to go with her wistful yearning for a family."—Newsday

"[Presley Ryan].. fills the bill of the perky little redhead convincingly and then some"—Smithtown Matters

"Young Broadway veteran Presley Ryan embodies Annie’s charisma and unbreakable spirit effortlessly. Ryan’s Annie is appropriately youthful, and her voice is pleasant to listen to — sweet and strong, never shrill. You’ll fall in love with her during the first song, “Maybe,” and it’s hard to resist singing along with her on “Tomorrow"."—Times of Huntington-Northport
