| | Show Business Weekly: Review: Jane Eyre: The Musical (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15) |
 | | This is a pretty plain Jane, one that comes alive with spirited ensemble numbers like "Gala Affair" and "Morton" but succumbs to duet-it is elsewhere, as orphaned governess Jane and her shadowy employer Rochester commune and collapse, over and over again. |
 | | Fidelity to spirit, moreover, is wanting: The plucky Jane of the 1840s has been reformatted to be more of a 21st century striver, and Rochesters rougher edges have been smoothed. |
 | | She and Lily Kershaw, as the young Jane, are the very soul of the show, and the graceful transition between these performers is one highlight of Craig Dukes able direction. |
