  • "Morrell is as complete a “star package” as you will ever see. With a tremendously versatile voice that can swing easily from a sweet soprano to a booming belt, combined with a knack for charm and comedy, the Equity star commands attention every time she’s on stage." - John Watters, The Barnstable Patriot
  • "From her first moment onstage, Mabel Normand (Christina Morrell) owns the audience. Not because she’s beautiful (which she is), but because she’s an energetic force of nature with a great sense of humor. If life were a Sennett movie, she would be that same force of nature to the end. The most intriguing part of Cape Rep’s production of Mack & Mabel is Morrell’s transformation from cute and saucy to bitter and hardened." - Susan Blood, InsideOUT Cape Cod
  • "Morrell glows from her first scene. Her Mabel is lovable and funny: vulnerable and starry-eyed when it comes to Sennett, yet broadly comic and nimble enough to wow an insatiable movie audience. Morrell's singing voice and delivery more than do justice to some of the best songs — "Time Heals Everything," "Wherever He Ain't" — and how she transforms from mouse to star in "Look What Happened to Mabel" is infectious." - Kathi Scrizzi Driscoll, The Cape Cod Times
  • "Christina Morrell physically and emotionally conveys the chemistry the camera must have seen in Normand and which Sennett saw from the very first." - Amy Tagliaferri, Cape Cod Chronicle
  • "Morrell’s sparkling voice shines in...'Wherever He Ain't'; her knockout rendition of the haunting ballad 'Time Heals Everything'... - Johanna Crosby, The Cape Codder

  • "Christina Morrell as Janet shows why she is a star in the show, and of the show, in the show-stopping “Show Off.” - Amy Tagliaferri, The Cape Cod Chronicle
  • "Morrell nearly steals the show with her rendition of “Show Off,” which showcases all of her rich talents." - John Watters, The Barnstable Patriot
  • "Christina Morrell is a charmer as the buoyant Janet, the Broadway darling, who claims to be tired of being the center of attention yet does all she can to stay there in the show-stopping number 'Show Off'.” - Johanna Crosby, The Cape Codder
  • "As Janet, Christina Morrell really is "the cat's pajamas,"... She has a lovely voice and is particularly wonderful in the number "Show Off," where she sings about not wanting to be in the spotlight anymore, but then does everything she can,  including a cartwheel, to stay firmly in it." - Laurie Higgins, The Cape Cod Times
