Bonnie and Clyde the Musical with Eleventh Hour Theater Company (2019) | Directed by Megan Nicole O’Brien
“Rita Castagna and Angel J. Sigala take on the titular characters, and they are well (if not evenly) matched…. Castagna gives a winning brightness to Bonnie that tempers her tunnel vision for big-screen dreams.” -Broad Street Review
“Castagna's singing voice gave me chills from the moment she opened her mouth. At one point in act two, she sang the opening notes to "Dyin' Ain't So Bad" so crystal clearly and beautifully that you could hear audible gasps from the audience. Her singing was reinforced by solid acting and impeccable stage presence. Although she is only a [senior] in college, her unique sound and take makes it clear she will be trusted with more leading roles in the near future.” -Broadway World
“And if you ever wondered what Natalie Portman would sound like if she was on Broadway, well you have it in Rita Castagna who is shockingly only now making her professional debut as Bonnie. Both in sound and stature she encapsulates Bonnie and brings the audience inside her most outlandish choices to believe that we would have done the same. I believe Philly has found their next Gypsy Rose Lee.” -Philly Life & Culture
