"Laura Marie Duncan's Christine managed to steal the show. Her bright
trumpet-like soprano blasted through the house and lifted the energy level
in her entrance number, Here I Am. Duncan provided the best musical moments
of the night with an awkward grace that rounded out the gawky Christine."
-Miami Herald
"One of the most refreshing members of the “Scoundrels” cast is original
Broadway cast member, Laura Marie Duncan who stars as ‘Christine Colgate’ on
tour. Any scene with Butz seemed to be highly physical and energetic yet
Duncan was a great match for Butz while also possessing an edgy innocence
shining particularly in “Love Is My Legs”."

"Christine Colgate (Laura Marie Duncan, in a wholesome, multilayered and
vocally rich performance)"
- North County Times
"Ms. Duncan's strong voice is immediately obvious. In her case, it takes
a while to realize how well she's acting. She gets the show's most beautiful
ballad, "Nothing Is Too Wonderful to Be True"... There's mystery under
Christine's sweet exterior, and Ms. Duncan finally makes a star turn out of
the role.
- The Dallas Morning News
"Co-stars Hewitt and Duncan are in fine form here -- he's suave to a T,
snapping his magic fingers like the Fonz; she's somewhere between Suzanne
Somers and Marlo Thomas, and cute as heck.
- East Valley Tribune
"Laura Marie Duncan as the object of the con men’s “affections” almost stole
the show with rapid fire comic delivery and a beautiful singing voice in the
ballad “Nothing is Too Wonderful To Be True.”"

Cupid and Psyche
"Duncan's Venus is a sumptuously inspired creation, and the real jewel
of the production. Duncan's a knock-out to look at, as Venus must be,
but her powerful voice, dazzling comic timing, and effortless command
of the stage are themselves no less than divine. She struts through the
joyous realm of her domain in "Spread a Little a Love," warns the audience
to "Don't Mess With a Goddess," and expounds on her great talent to
"Improvise" with absolute dramatic and musical authority."

"In particular, Laura Marie Duncan shines as a down-and-dirty Venus"
-showbusinessweekly.com
"Leading the cast is Laura Marie Duncan, who achieves a personal triumph in
the role of Venus, Cupid's mother. With the sly sex appeal of Donna Murphy,
the sparkling wit of Christine Ebersole and the deadpan timing of Faith Prince,
Duncan is currently giving one of the most bravura star-turns on any New York
stage, and only in 90 minutes. She's absolute perfection with a gorgeous voice
and the kind of va-va-voom figure that causes straight men to walk into walls."
-Next Magazine
"Laura Marie Duncan is resplendent as the sassy and tempestuous Venus who struggles
to overcome her vanity to become a good mother."
-CurtainUp
"Laura Marie Duncan’s Venus is deliciously sexy as she manipulates her son with
jazzy intervals of jealousy."

"Laura Marie Duncan as Cris has the most pleasant voice of the cast and
brings life to the only sympathetic character in the show."
-CurtainUp
"Cris -- a thankless role that is carried off by the quietly powerful
Laura Marie Duncan."
-Theater Mania
"Laura Marie Duncan as Cris and Coleen Sexton as Aurora do a great job
battling for Seth’s attention by belting up a storm!"
