What People Are Saying
"Guido Girl is a moving, funny, powerful experience in the theatre. It feels like you're watching a cast of many, and it's all Marianne Ferrari, fully embodying a collection of flawed, tragically humorous and complex characters. A journey into the heart and soul of a girl and her dreams, a memory that profoundly resonates for each of us. A must-see!"
- Risa Bramon Garcia, Director/Casting Director/Producer/Writer
“Guido Girl is a layered look at how family, location, environment, decade, personal demons and fears affect our early perceptions of ourselves and the world. It avoids blame. And without fear takes on the anticipation, joy, disappointment, humiliation and sexual prowess of a girl running full speed into her aching growing self. It was tender, funny, wrenching, and sexy. Marianne Ferrari's tour de force.”
- Jayne Taini, Actor/Director
“Marianne puts her considerable acting and singing gifts to the task of examining her own past and drawing us into a world of childhood magic, adolescent anxiety and the first encounters of young adult self-knowledge. It is a humorous, wise and sexy one-woman show! It belongs on Broadway!”
- Alex Wells, Actor/Director/Broadcaster
“Guido Girl is a brutally honest coming-of-age theatrical piece. You will laugh, cry, be disturbed, and be elated. Marianne's ability to dig deep and open a window to her world is compelling.”
- Drew McCoy, Financial Advisor
“A roaringly great show it was! And as I recall, the audience let you know. The language is fantastic. The words combine in marvelously original ways, and when worked in with the movements, help us get to know a substantial and well-developed cast of characters. You've done something truly spectacular. And of course it's always fun for us guys to find out some of these intriguing details about your past!”
- Kent Minault, Actor/Director/Producer
“...a lyrical and sensuous journey through the magical eyes of a woman soul who revisits her young life in retrospect...and her rite of passage and the earning of all intimate relationships reconciled in the present. Guido Girl captured my heart and reminded me of my own struggles to grow and come to terms in that crazy thing called life.”
- Constance Lily Marie Golden, Smitten Fan
“Guido Girl was one of the best one-person shows I have ever seen. It can only be compared with the great Syringa Tree, also developed with the help of the famous acting coach Larry Moss. Guido Girl takes you through the life of the author/performer, her up-bringing in a traditional Italian home and her coming of age in NYC. One of my favorite pieces is when she challenges herself to go further back in time, and portray her parents meeting on the Andrea Doria. Her transitions between her many characters are always flawless and intriguing. It transported me back in time, reminded me of my own childhood, and made me miss New York!”
- Shari Hellman, Green Hats Theatrical, Actor/Producer
“Marianne Ferrari not only has talent but it is obvious she has commitment. Guido Girl is great. She skillfully takes you through different characters, changing body posture and voices, and then enthralls you with her beautiful singing voice. I loved it. Well done. I hope she performs it again because I am sure she will make it even better next time.”
- Adrian Paul, Actor/Director/Producer
“Guido Girl is a rich portrayal of a truthful coming of age in a strong Italian family. Marianne weaves the story, through the intimate voices of colorful and eccentric real-life characters, with amazing dexterity. “
-Kristin Stone, Kristin Stone Entertainment, LLC, Actor/Director/Producer
"In "Guido Girl", Marianne delivers an extraordinary story of one's path to self discovery told through a myriad of delightful and entertaining characters. Marianne deeply touched my soul in this heartfelt performance!"
