The Country
"…Leroux plays with all the nuances: book smart and street smart, child and woman, victim and predator. She juggles it all skilfully-and looks great doing it."
- Jo Ledingham [Vancouver Courier, March 3, 2005]
"Performing this stuff presents huge challenges to the actors, and this company meets those challenges… and Leroux all handle the complex verbal choreography as if they were native speakers of Crimpese."
- Colin Thomas [The Georgia Straight, March 3-10 2005]
Omniscience
"One month into the new Jessie Awards season, Omniscience likely has a nomination for best new play in the bag. And actor Nicole Leroux is bound to garner a nomination for best actress in a lead role. Not for one moment does she let up: the character's rage fuels a physicality that makes Anna completely authentic-the back-of-hand nose-wiping, the legs apart sprawl, the pushups, the frantic expenditure of energy. Leroux is relentless"
- Jo Ledingham [Vancouver Courier, June 2, 2004]
"...Nicole Leroux's work as Anna is outstanding. She had the stance and
quickness of a fighter and her flashbacks transported us to the horrors of
the battlefield without leaving the room."
- Leanne Campbell [Westender, June
3-9, 2004]
"Nicole Leroux gives a wonderful performance as this poor creature, and
intelligent and caring woman all but destroyed by what went wrong, and
Leroux is doubly blessed by being handed the most complex character."
- Peter Birnie [The
Vancouver Sun, June 1, 2004]
"Anna is the emotional heart of the play. She's compelling: she may take
her life or destroy Warren's career, and she knows a truth that she is
withholding. And, especially as portrayed by Nicole Leroux in a
no-holds-barred, often ironically witted performance, Anna is a bravely
vulnerable, sympathetic character."
- Colin Thomas [The Georgia Straight, June
3-10, 2004]
Mary's Wedding
“Please know you were so much of why the show was fabulous, why Bob was Fabulous..why I looked good too!”
- Roy Surette [Artistic Director Belfry Theatre]
"And with understated poignancy, Leroux and Frazer create flesh and blood characters, finding fresh feeling in subject matter that could have been merely sentimental."
- Robert Moyes [Monday Magazine, November 2002]
“..much praise for new discovery Nicole Leroux as Mary…”
-
[Vancouver Sun, Jan 9 – 16 2003]
"But it's Leroux who really impresses in her Playhouse debut ... this bright newcomer's fearless treatment of feisty Mary make this performance well worth the ovation it received on opening night."
- Peter Birnie [Vancouver Sun, January 18, 2003]
“Nicole Leroux, a UBC Theatre grad making her Playhouse debut, is a sassy, nightgowned Mary, half innocent, half tease.”
- [Vancouver Courier January 22, 2003]
“Nicole Leroux as Mary…[is] astonishing. Ms Leroux movingly and overwhelmingly traces the journey of a naïve youngster to one whose heart is broken but who ultimately learns to go beyond the anguish and to retain the beauty of the moment. Together they are nothing short of magnificent.”
- Alan Charlton [The BC Catholic January 27, 2003]
"As Mary, Nicole Leroux is innocent and charming She has a happy spirit with the eternal optimism of youth."
- Jane Penistan [ReviewVancouver.org]
"Leroux is especially persuasive ... her physical representation, the way she constantly moves her foot like a playful teenager, proves a subtle and convincing interpretation of
Mary's coy flirtatiousness."
- Johnanna Ward [Camosun College Theatre Review
Issue 6]
“Nicole Leroux delivered a beautifully subtle performance in Mary’s Wedding”
- Peter Birnie [Vancouver Sun, December 29, 2003]
The Night Desk
“…actress Nicole Leroux does a great job juggling cellphones and spitting her lines machinegun style, as befits a one-act blast of Howard Hawks-style banter.”
- Peter Birnie [Vancouver Sun, December 1, 2001]
"Yates’ best foil is Nicole Leroux as Getz, a reporter who gloms on to a story in which Yates has already done a tad too much in-depth research."
-
Leanne Campbell [The West Ender, December 5, 2001]
“Nicole Leroux, who plays an aggressive cub reporter named Getz, is also full of life and nuance.”
- Colin Thomas [The Georgia Straight]
Moo
"Nicole Leroux ... provides an engagingly intelligent and surprising
presence throughout."
- Colin Thomas [The Georgia Straight, Feb 17, 2000]
