“Admirable performances abound in Arje Shaw’s MAGIC HANDS FREDDY…Antoinette LaVecchia captivates…"

“The thin and angular LaVecchia, who at times looks astonishingly like Tracey Ullman (has anyone ever seen them together?), is shrewd at switching from Maria's brittle demeanor to earthy seductiveness and back again.”

"Also helpful is Antoinette LaVecchia’s presence as the at-first flirtatious and ravishing, later cold and shrewish Maria. LaVecchia is creating quite a niche for herself in roles of Italian-American women who are trying to reconcile two divergent cultures, and does not disappoint here.”
American Theatre Web- Andy Propst
