“The beautiful and statuesque Carlyn Connolly made the most of the role of laundry owner Lana Mae in her Seven Angels debut and wow, can she belt when the need arises. Ms. Connolly was perfectly cast in the role of the always cheerful owner and proprietress of the Wishy Washy Washateria, who is never at a loss for a colorful Southern colloquialism, and it was a pleasure to listen to her renditions of the classic country music pieces.”

“Carlyn Connolly and Laura Hodos--they are dazzling and wow can they yodel--Yee Haw! . . . Miss Connolly and Miss Hodos provide us serious country music that we are still raving about! Miss Connolly’s vocal tones sway and swell--impressively.”
- The Howard

“The enjoyable elements of the show are Connolly and Hodos performing a variety of country hits . . . .[Connolly] gives Lana Mae a strong sense of fortitude and confidence while keeping sensitivity that gives her a bit of country sweetness.”

“Carlyn Connolly* as Fraulein Kost, a prostitute who rents a room in Schneider’s house, gives a wonderfully bold performance – especially when she sings “Married” in German as counterpoint to the old couple’s melodic song.”
- Critics on the Aisle

“Fraulein Kost is excellently played by Carlyn Connolly. . . .(Carlyn is hilarious at first but shows herself to be a Nazi sympathizer when she denounces Schultz as a Jew and sings"Tomorrow Belongs to Me" to celebrate Ernst and her Nazi pals.)”
- Tony's Corner

“[Carlyn] Connolly was almost too good(in her invitation for us all to join in. The song might be beautiful; she certainly made it so. But its association with the Nazis is not beautiful at all. Persons who get that want to gag rather than applaud.)”
