"Miranda Bailey, in the role of Beauty's sister Pride, was another standout.  Bailey performed with a self-assurance and fluidity, underpinned by precise technique, a clean, classical line and rock-solid balance.  When she danced, it was hard to look at anyone else."
-Susan Levi Wallach, Columbia Free Times  

"There was plenty of applause for Miranda Bailey, who danced the role of young Victoria Harker.  Bailey not only established herself as a beautiful dancer with gorgeous legs and arms, but she also exhibited a beaming stage presence and portrayed her character with utmost believability."
-Amy O. Maxwell, Columbia Free Times
