Reviews
TERRY SUCCI in AN AFFIRMATIVE ACT Justice for All Productions
"Candice Holdorf as Terry and Elissa Goldstein as Samantha have tremendous chemistry. Both of these actors take chances."
"Terry is not a man, but really an attractive woman, played so convincingly masculine by newcomer Candice Holdorf, that both characters and audiences are both jarred by the revelation"
REFEREE IN NEVER SWIM ALONE Intentional Theatre Group
"In her dual role, Candice Holdorf brings grace and pathos to the proceedings, and does so with demonstrably less material to work with than her game costars"
--David Ian Lee, nytheatre.com
WAITRESS IN ADAM SZYMKOWICZ'S PRETTY THEFT Flux Theatre Ensemble
"In typical fashion, Holdorf makes the most of every scene, suggesting a lifetime of disappointment and settling for a character not even granted a first name"
--Doug Strassler, offoffonline.com
JILL IN CONFERENCE ROOM A Kids With Guns
"Candice Holdorf portrays Jill with such depth that I saw her beauty as a grand entrance to a character (and actor) that I wanted to know more about."
--Richard Hinojosa, nytheatre.com
MARGOT WENDICE IN DIAL M FOR MURDER Cortland Rep
"The standout performance comes from Candice Holdorf as Margot. She turns in a complete character and has enormous appeal and presence as a performer. Her work throughout is superior, but in the third act she is remarkable, and in the pivotal murder scene she is nothing short of stunning."
--Tom Woods, Auburn Citizen
"Nothing is wasted in Candice Holdorf's excellent interpretation of Margot. As an adulteress, she is strangely sinful and innocent at the same time...additionally, Holdorf's Margot screams better than Fay Wray and effortlessly sheds a Niagara of tears."
--James MacKillop, Syracuse New Times
"Margot, played by Candice Holdorf, is agreeably light in the main and surprisingly primal as the would-be murder victim...her movement perfectly embodies the vintage 1952 upper-middle-class woman."
--The Post-Standard
"Margot Wendice is played by Candice Holdorf. She was excellent. She has huge eyes able to show her horror over the murder, compliance with her husband's wishes, and secret signals to her lover Max."
--Katie Hall, Cortland Standard
ROSALIND IN THE CURATE SHAKESPEARE AS YOU LIKE IT Oberon Theatre Ensemble
"Holdorf was not only hilarious but sweet and also musical. Always in character, her delusional, informative fixations and commentary were among the highlights of the show. Her speech at the end was delivered with resolute conviction."
--Seth Bisen-Hersh, oobr.com
"Quite wonderful"
--Martin Denton, nytheatre.com
"Holdorf's vacant yet perceptive Rosalind is one of surprising depth"
