JULIE JOHNSON

Melee Hutton gives an astonishing performance as Julie, conveying self- doubt through awkward posture and the searching intentness of her eyes.

Julie, the heroine, is a working class suburban house wife living a scrimped, dead end life in Hoboken with two kids, an abusive husband and from all appearances in Melee Hutton’s marvelously rattled, haggard performance, is hanging on to her sanity by her fingernails.

THE DOLL’S HOUSE

Melee Hutton and Jordan Pettle portray Kristina and Krogstad with more depth and feeling than I can ever recall seeing in those two roles – a pair of lost souls, trying hard to maintain some sense of dignity. Their careful work emphasizes how cleverly Ibsen uses their story to provide ironic contrast with that of Nora and Torvald.

PERICLES

The strongest performances were from John Fitzgerald Jay and Melee Hutton as the King and Queen of Tarsus. Hutton portrays the woman’s cold, murderous nature with expert élan.
