ASHLEY RUBIN
ACTRESS SINGER DANCER
Reviews
"And then there is Ashley Rubin. Ms. Rubin, I (and the entire audience) love you. A prodigious dancer (she doubles as a chorister in act one) with an adorable face, she steals the show as "The Owl Lady." Her scenes with Mr. Peterson are the best in the show. Their song, "A Fact Can Be a Beautiful Thing," has been choreographed within an inch of its life by Kevin Black and the audience is hysterical throughout. Ms. Rubin, your Carbonell Award awaits you."
- Bill Hirschman, Florida TheaterOnstage
"Coming just in time to lighten the mood, is the tear-up-the-script performance of Ashley Rubin as the inebriated and highly libidoed Marge. She is an actress of the first order, and we should all make a point to follow her career."
- Jesse J. Leaf, Around The Town Theater Critic
"Only Bob Levitt , and Ashley Rubin as the barfly Marge really understand the vaudeville-sitcom cadences that Simon was so skilled at creating. Rubin, in fact, gives the best comic performance as the inebriated barfly looking for a quick hookup with Chuck who is drowning his romantic sorrows in a bottle. A tandem creation of Rubin and Leeds, Marge’s voracious sexual raptor barely conceals a profound loneliness. The scene-stealing role won Katie Finneran a Tony Award for the 2010 revival."
- Bill Hirschman, Florida Theater Onstage
" the travails of good hearted but not very bright Frenchy are particularly engaging because of the stand out performances of Ashley Rubin who makes ne’er do well Frenchy someone you can’t help but root for."
- Kay Bourne (EDGE Contributor), Edge, Boston, Mass
"It is hard to call the other roles in the show "supporting" because over the years each character has become just as popular as the show and the movie themselves. If comparisons are to be made, then it would most likely be to the movie and its iconic performances. Gladly, this cast does not try to copy those performances. Most notably AshleyRubin and Lauren Elaine Taylor as, respectively, Frenchy and Betty Rizzo who bring just enough of the performances we are so familiar with from the movie but with their own take on them."

"Ashley Rubin's nasal Brooklynese adds that street corner doo wop touch."
- Barbara L. Fredricksen, Times Staff Writer (Tampa Bay Times)
"Ashley Rubin is sweet as the beauty parlor dropout"
- Edge, Boston, Mass
"Honourable exception to Ashley Rubin as the sweetly perplexed dimbulb Frenchy"
-Edmonton Journal
