Hochkammer captured the spirit of Sally Bowles to the T, and her most impressive achievement was that she didn’t over-act. She was simply Sally Bowles. And of course, her outstanding voice didn’t hurt. Hochkammer’s rendition of “Cabaret” evoked emotions ranging from pity to sorrow to hope to hopelessness within a mere three and a half minutes.
Jenna Hochkammer, who makes for a debonair Tybalt in “Romeo & Juliet” (where she shows off impressive stage combat skills), is the determined Florinda in this play.
“…Florinda, who is played by Jenna Hochkammer with poise and elegance that make her character a fitting narrative counterpart to the show’s numerous courtesans.
