"Bennett's voice, her comic skills, her dancing were brilliant."
James Scarborough, What the Butler Saw, Long Beach
"Dina Bennett is powerfully perky as the amnesiac Rose, and this doll can really sing!"
Pat Taylor, Tolucan Times
"As the amnesiac Rose, Dina Bennett uses her long eyelashes and come-hither smile to create a wholesome sultriness.
Singing "You Gotta Do What you Gotta Do," Bennett is slinky and Bacall-like, joining the band on a kazoo and warbling
scat lyrics that match Rory Mazela on tenor sax."
Eric Marchese, Special to the Register, Orange County Register
"The amnesiac Rose of Rangoon (Dina Bennett) steals the show every time she sings. She also has comic skills used to
great effect delivering deadpan lines highlighting her lack of memory."
Marchelle Hammack, Long Beach Beachcomber
"Each member of (Jules) Aaron's octet of singer-dancer-comic actors is vocally sound, but the strongest solo voices belong
to Dina Bennett and David Holladay. Whether singing swingy scat lyrics, languid ballads, or sensuous torch songs, Bennet
creates a come-hither sultriness that's wholesome, not prurient."
Eric Marchese, Back Stage West
"Dina Bennett is lovable as Rose, an amnesiac songstress who has found a home at Freddy's cafe. Bennett establishes
her musical credentials convincingly in act one with wily renditions of "You Gotta Do What You Gotta Do" and "I
Can't Remember." By act two, we are completely won over by "Serve it Up," Rose's anthem to restaurant workers
of the world."
