Theater Reviews
Of the four voices, each one strong and distinctive, Goretsky's stands out in range, power and nuance.- Neil Novelli, Syracuse.com (The Marvelous Wonderettes)
Goretsky plays singer/evangelist Reno Sweeney with hurricane force, belting out such tunes as “Blow Gabriel, Blow” and the title number with Mermanesque power and turning Porter’s “I Get a Kick Out of You” into a soft, sweet ballad. She’s also an accomplished comic, crossing romantic swords with a stuffy Englishman in one of the show’s funnier moments. -Tom Titus, Daily Pilot (Anything Goes)
Julia Goretsky is a marvelous Ursula, managing a complex tentacled costume that would distract a less focused performer. Her voice is full, resonant, and stretches from booming to gravelly in her big number, "Poor Unfortunate Souls.” -Linda Lowen, Syracuse.com (The Little Mermaid)
My personal favorite this season was Julia Goretsky as Lois/Bianca singing “Always True to You, Darling (In My Fashion)”. Goretsky also gave an outstanding performance as Sylvia in The Women. I’m sure we’ll see more of her as her career grows. She is a very gifted comedian. - Sonoma.net (Kiss Me Kate and The Women)
Julia Goretsky is galvanizing as firebrand socialist Emma Goldman.- Len Fonte Syracuse.com (Ragtime)
Julia Goretsky embuse her solos, from the title tune to Maybe This Time with stunning golden-throated intensity. Her duets…are howlingly funny.-David C. Nicholas, The Los Angeles Times (The World Goes Round)
