Mick La Salle: “Laura Sottile is The Soul of The Play.”
“If you’ve seen vivacious Laura Sottile be it on stage in the Off-Broadway show Tony n’ Tina’s Wedding or in screen features like “Ten Benny” with Adrienne Brody, “City of Bars”,
or doing Standup at Caroline’s in NYC you probably haven’t forgotten her. Watching her create and perform her character “Pepita Cunningham” which has since been performing regularly at Venue 9 was an object lesson in total fearlessness on stage, and not to mention how sore my stomach was from laughing at the end of the evening. Laura’s combo of Italian beauty, lightning fast comedic timing, and larger than life onstage bravado make her absolutely unique.

Review for Anna in the Tropics
But special note must be given to Laura Sottile, who gives an absolutely marvelous performance as Ofelia, the matriarch of the family. There is never a moment when you see her working at her craft: physically and vocally she is as balanced and slow-burning as a Montecristo No. 2…and when passion is required, she deals it out such that no one can refuse her!

“Laura Sottile as the Cabaret Singer at the Bathhouse a la Bette Midler’s is sin-sational. She’s one of the most entertaining actors I’ve seen this year. Her performance is Genius! She is brilliant as the bathhouse’s resident Diva; Fast, Funny and focused, she’d upstage everyone if she weren’t such a team player.”
