Gretel - HANSEL AND GRETEL
Soprano Nancy Elledge deserves special commendation for her solid performance as Gretel. A more convincing Gretel would be hard to imagine-she fit the part so well. Short of stature and long on vocal flourishes, she made the little girl come to life. Incorporating just the right coquettish mannerisms-placing her wreath of flowers in the forest, for example, and snuggling up beneath the protective arm of her big brother. -Virginian Pilot

Miss Silverpeal - THE IMPRESARIO 
Soprano Nancy Elledge takes top honors for both acting and singing. - Fort Worth Star-Telegram

Adele - DIE FLEDERMAUS
Nancy Elledge masterfully played Adele, the chambermaid, who has longings to be an actress. Her bubbling amusement with the whole absurd party at Orlofsky's palace in the second act was wonderful. Her voice was good, but her acting was simply effervescent. - San Francisco Chronicle

Soprano Nancy Elledge provided the lightest, and probably the highest, note of the production in the saucy "When I Was a Little Cuckoo. - Austin-American Statesmen

Soprano Soloist - AN EVENING OF GEORGE GERSHWIN AND COLE PORTER
The most effecting and haunting moments of the evening were in beautifully capable hands of Miss Elledge on "Summertime" and "My Man's Gone Now." Her voice was completely on target, her intonation flawless and her emotional connection to these magnificent songs was lovingly shared with us...Later in the evening she was to demonstrate quite another side of her talent with "I'm a Little Cuckoo." In general, she drew the finest material and the least distracting staging, or perhaps she honestly made the best of each of her assignments. - Kerrville Daily Times

Cunegonde - CANDIDE
Cunegonde is played by the perky Nancy Elledge. She dispatched her big number, "Glitter and Be Gay" effectively. This was imposed on her by the uncomplimentary staging that placed her far back into the set. When she moved forward, the scene became a showpiece, which the production needed at that point. - The Dallas Morning News

Mabel - THE PIRATES PENZANCE
The cast is a joy straight down the line. Nancy Elledge as Mabel is a virtuous flirt who know how to fend for herself. The perky blonde has a soprano so fresh it still has dew on it, and her Poor Wondering One is a highlight of the production. The character is more than a simpering ingenue. As portrayed by Elledge, she is a woman of spunky determination who listens to her head as well as her heart." - The Dallas Morning News

Soprano Soloist - LA GRANDE OPERA, FAR EAST TOUR
Nancy Elledge was radiant in her expression of Juliet's love for her fiancé and Norina's confidence in the magical virtues of her glances.

Elledge articulated the virtuosic coloratura semiquavers cleanly and adeptly, showing the difference between Gounod's lyricism and Donizetti's vitality. - New Straits Times
