​

The Herald Bulletin - “...leading lady Amanda Tong, who plays Stephanie Mangano. She’s a tough chick who catches Tony's eye with her beauty, grace and ambition to make more of herself than expected of her Brooklyn Address.  Tong, last seen at Beef & Boards in "Man of La Mancha" in 2018, doesn't let herself be outshined, dazzling the audience with impressive vocals while more than keeping up with Sartin on the dance floor."

​

Broadway World = "Another pair of ladies who delivered some excellent performances were Amanda Tong as Stephanie and Kyra Leeds as Annette.  They both belted out some beautiful ballads that let the audience enjoy the softer side of disco."

​

Asota - "As is usual with B&B’s endeavors, the talent level for Saturday Night Fever is sky high...Stephanie Mangano, Amanda tong brings equal talents to the fore and is also quite striking. These two offer up interesting boy/girl story arc - their love-story aptly played as flirtations blossoming into a fiery coupling, marker by terrific vocal and dance turns."

Broadway World- “Amanda Tong is also fantastic as Alex’s friend, Gloria. She -Gloria- has a rough time and you really root for her throughout the production.

 

Dan’s Papers- “There are many moments durning the show where you find yourself lost in the spellbinding music, especially the slower arrangement of the hit song “Gloria”. The song fits the story so well, yet it doesn’t loose the flavor of the original. Amanda Tong as the flighty Gloria is everything you want her to be-sweet natured, a little ditzy, but a loyal and loving friend-with that 80’s hair teased and topped with a gaudy headband. Gloria sings her namesake song as her own ballad, softly at first and rising to a crescendo as the show progresses and she finds herself in a bad situation.”

Dans Papers- "Rock of Ages—a stunner of a production! It lives up to its name, as it will literally rock your world. The cast is sexy and sensational, bringing to life an era of badass and bad hair, with vocals that left me stunned and grinning from ear to ear."

 

New York Theatre Guide- "Are you ready to rock?! It’s loud, flashy, energetic and tons of fun...The cast of this production is phenomenal. Not only are they amazing singers, but the dancing and choreography of this show are beautifully done. Rock of Ages is a raucous, irreverent barrel of laughs."

Show Palace Theatre                                                                                            Hudson, FL

Tampa Bay Times- 

"Lighthearted story, heavy-duty dancing spark 'Crazy for You' at Show Palace"

 

"What it takes for this show to really take off are fine voices, exciting choreography done by accomplished dancers, sets, costumes, sounds and lights designed to work with the show, and a director who knows what is going on in every corner — and this production has all that and more.

 

There's real pleasure, too, in smooth ballroom dancing by Ramsey's (Bobby) and Ms. Tong's (Polly) to Gershwin classics like Shall We Dance and Embraceable You. The duo also get a chance to showcase their pleasing voices, Ms. Tong on Someone to Watch Over Me and But Not for Me."
