Tracy Michailidis stands out as a well-sung Witch, seeming to use up a whole pandemic's worth of stored stage energy to dive into that character's anguish. We're talking an Olympic-gold-winning, three-metre, reverse 4.5 somersault in pike position dive into it.

Exuding star-power, Tracy Michailidis gave a ravishing performance from start-to-finish as Guido's wife, Luisa Contini. "My Husband Makes Movies," was practically a masterclass on how to build levels of emotion in a musical number, and Act II's "Be On Your Own," stole the show. At the end of "Be On Your Own," Luisa sings the words, "and all of me," - the perfect explanation for Michailidis' performance - she gave everything over to the music.
- Taylor Long, Broadway World
Tracy Michailidis as Luisa Contini had the audience in the palm of her hand every time she sang, although her silent moments watching the performance were every bit as powerful.

Rachel Bay Jones recently won a Tony for her heart-breaking ballad as Evan's mother in Dear Evan Hansen. But Tracy Michailidis takes "mom-ballad" to a whole new level. If I had to pick one moment from the show that really stuck with me, Michailidis performing "Wallpaper" takes the cake. The way she emotionally builds during the piece is absolutely devastating. I spent the entire show on the brink of tears, but Michailidis, with her bright vibrato, released the flood gates. read more...

Tracy Michailidis was perfection as Alice’s mother and Frank’s widow. Her restrained performance for most of the piece was full of tension. The mask of perfect widow slipped as she lamented that she used to be someone and now she was “the wife of a famous dead man”. read more...

Reviews on Guys and Dolls, at the Segal Centre, Montreal
With the help of choreographer Jim White, set and costume designer Michael Egan, and an orchestra led by Nick Burgess, she [director Diana Leblanc] has turned the Havana club scene into a showstopper. This sexy romp leads into the highly romantic I've Never Been in Love Before, delivered beautifully by Tracy Michailidis, as the mission girl Sarah gone wild. She is the standout singer of the show, hitting pop opera heights.
-Pat Donnelly, Montreal Gazette
Guys and Dolls was in previews, so I won't say anything about it, exept that Tracy Michailidis is a heavenly Sarah Brown
-J. Kelly Nestruck
The voices in the show are excellent and the dance sequences wonderfully well performed with panache and great abandon. Of note, the dance sequence done in Havana when 'Sarah' lets all barriers down and discovers another side of herself, is a knock out, and will have you up on your feet shouting Hallelujah!
Tracy Michailidis as 'Sarah Brown', leading those who would save lost souls from hell-fire at The Save a Soul Mission, moves smoothly from her 'holier than thou' preachings to someone who recognizes that even those with a little darkness in them may also have a touch of the light of goodness.

Tracy Michailidis delivers a performance with a luminous soprano that perfectly suits the role of a young girl in the service of faith
