Rachel was be featured on an episode of the Original Cast Podcast discussing her thoughts on Legally Blonde The Musical!
THE WASHINGTON POST Review:
"Noteworthy supporting turns include Rachel Barlaam’s funny portrait of Madelaine True, a lesbian with an aggressively roving eye."
- Celia Wren
THE WASHINGTON POST Review:
Bonnie and Clyde
"The instincts are good in this small-scale production, and Rachel Barlaam is notably assured as Bonnie Parker. She’s a singer with touch and style. Russell Silber is a crooked-grinned country striver as Clyde — but Barlaam’s the one to watch" - Nelson Pressley
MARYLAND THEATRE GUIDE Review:
The Wild Party
"The standout of the ensemble is Rachel Barlaam as Madelaine True, a droll lesbian on the make who is searching for her next conquest. Lippa has given her the show’s best song, “An Old-Fashioned Love Story,” and Barlaam squeezes all she can from it, in a genuine show-stopper." - Peter Orvetti
