"A joy to listen to"

"when she is onstage, you know it."
"Cook is the kind of actress who, when she is on stage, you know it.
​
All eyes are on her, and she achieves this not with tricks, flips, mugging or winks but with a presence that quietly states “I am here and you are going to watch me”.
​
It was a commanding performance vocally and she showed that maturity and command of character that is sure to please audiences well into this century."
