“Fair of voice and of portrayal to the kind, gentle Cinderella, Diane Phelan fabricates the perfect blend of youthful naïveté and learned patience into her portrayal of the fairytale kitchen-girl-turned-princess. Every time she encounters the Baker’s Wife in the woods, there’s a refreshing confusion featured in her renditions of “A Very Nice Prince”; you genuinely believe that she’s at a loss as to what to say about the Prince when she’s recounting her tale of her time at the festival through song. The same is true when she sings her way through “On The Steps of the Palace” except instead of being at a loss, she’s full of witty and clever discovery. Her stand-off with her Prince (Gavin Creel) is loaded with heavy emotions, even if it is but a moment in the woods where they exchange words. And when she adds her heartfelt vocals to “No One Is Alone”, you get a budding sense of maternal instinct making its way to the forefront of her sound.”
