Jekyll and Hyde
Beck Center for the Arts, Summer 2007
Reasons to go: [...] And when Aimee (sic) Collier's on stage as the earthy London prostitute Lucy, you'll momentarily think you're seeing Broadway quality at Beck Center prices.
Linda Eisenstein, Cool Cleveland
Matching Folino in stage presence and singing power is Amiee Collier, who plays whore Lucy Harris with streetwise sensuality wrapped around a sweet, tender core. She leads a group of tramps in the rousing "Bring On the Men" and later almost stops the show with a quiet ballad, "Someone Like You."
-Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene
As the goodtime-girl whom Hyde abuses, there's the seductive, clarion-piped Amiee Collier, whose melodious crescendos and pianissimos could alternately break glass or your heart.
-James D'Amico, Cleveland Free Times
Amiee Collier, back from a Boston engagement, and newly in possession of her Equity card, blows down the house with "Bring on the Men" and "Someone Like You" [...] She plays right up to Folino's powerful evocation of Hyde, too, in "Dangerous Games". She's an actor to be reckoned with, and not even Folino can out-sing her.
-Marcus Bales, Cool Cleveland
Lucy Harris (Amiee Collier), Hyde's lusty squeeze, adds zest to the other half of the duet "In His Eyes," and cuts loose when she fronts the dancing-girl chorus in "Bring on the Men."
-Benjamin Gleisser, Cleveland Jewish News
Collier's renditions of "Someone Like You" and "A New Life" were captivating.

Respect: A Musical
Journey
Stuart Street Playhouse,Fall 2006- Winter 2007
Collier just drips sensuality in "Whatever Lola Wants" as she promotes the idea (and here I cringe) that women's power over men is a sexual one.
-Gwenn Friss, Cape Cod Times
Amiee Collier, ripe and statuesque, effortlessly slides from sweet to gravelly --- a showgirl suddenly turning rocker
Carl A. Rossi, The Theater Mirror
Collier's "Whatever Lola Wants," is impressively seductive, both vocally and in it's physical performance
-Olena Ripnick, BroadwayWorld.com
Amiee Collier at first seems a bit out of place (her elegant carriage suggests she'd be more at home in opera), but with "Whatever Lola Wants" she proves a sultry chanteuse.
-Sandy MacDonald, EDGE Entertainment Contributor
Fortunately, Aimee (sic) Collier — one of three excellent performers on stage — makes the song bearable, if not quite anthemic.
Collier gets saddled with a tragic monologue about a '50s girl who gives in to her boyfriend's pleas to (shudder) have sex but comes back strong with "Piece of My Heart," which she delivers in her own voice instead of aping Joplin's.
-Brett Milano, The Phoenix

Sunday in the Park with George
Lakeland Civic Theatre, Summer 2006
Amiee Collier's star turn makes the first part hers -- her sympathetic Dot is a mix of sensuality and pragmatism, and her brass trumpet voice has shimmering tones
-Linda Eisenstein, Cleveland Plain Dealer
The most prominent person in the painting is Dot, George's model and mistress. As Dot, Amiee Collier is also the centerpiece of the production. Her exceptionally strong voice overpowers the others and jumpstarts the show on a very high note. Collier shows astonishing range and vocal agility in the demanding titular opening number and also proves every bit the comic actress.
-Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
Ms. Collier proves that she's not only capable of toting around the proceedings, but more than likely to run away with them. [...] she negotiates Sondheim's multisyllabic lyrics with silky confidence, and sings his often tone-tinkering music with pitch-perfect, lustrous clarity. Along with this impressive vocalism, she further imbues a considerably underwritten character with such a sparkling, mischievous-yet-grounded humanity entirely her own, that the combination winds up constituting a rational excuse for undertaking the project.
None of the mixed cast of youngsters and oldtimers is up to the stellar Collier, who caps her performance with an affecting, tranquilly simple second-act embodiment of the modern-day ancient Marie.
-James D'Amico, Cleveland Free Times
As Dot, Amiee Collier has the natural affect of a plain girl who got hooked up with a genius and feels a bit out of her depth. But she has enough backbone to proceed with her life and not be further victimized by George's artistic monomania. Collier also delivers a cleverly underplayed Grandma Marie in later scenes.
-Christine Howey, Cleveland Scene
Amiee Collier is excellent as Dot and later as George's grandmother. She has a strong singing voice and interprets meanings, rather than just singing words. This is imperative in a Sondheim show. She also develops clear characterizations.

Moby Dick
Beck Center for the Arts, Summer 2005
Amiee Collier stands stalwart as Starbuck (clutching a cup of Starbucks)
-Tony Brown, Cleveland Plain Dealer
...the more mature and always steady Amiee Collier a mellow mezzo-ed Starbuck (who drinks Starbucks)
-James D'Amico, Cleveland Free Times
Amiee Collier is a ramrod-proud Starbuck

On the Town
Beck Center for the Arts, Spring 2005
There are several tasty performances, including one from the silk-throated and take-charge Amiee Collier as a playfully randy Hildy Esterhazy... Collier's rarin'-to-go, taxi-driving Hildy has the vocal prowess and bubbly presence the show could use more of... Collier is more than enough to make an elderly Clevelander wish he were young again, and in old New York."
-Tony Brown, Cleveland Plain Dealer
Amiee Collier is a bundle of personality and talent as the aggressive cab driver Hildy Esterhazy. Hildy and Chip's comic duo, 'Come Up to My Place,' in which a persistent Hildy tries to convince the reluctant Chip to set his sights on her rather than the Hippodrome, is a highlight.
-Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
Amiee Collier, who has the showy role of Hildy, registers this woman as an unfettered free spirit

Ragtime
Cleveland JCC, Fall 2004
Amiee Collier, a striking Emma Goldman
-James D'Amico, Cleveland Free Times
Sean Szaller... Amiee Collier (Emma Goldman) and [Kyle] Primous helped make ["He Wanted To Say" ] one of the emotional highlights of the evening.
-Roy Berko, The Times Newspapers
Amiee Collier is especially fine as the fiery anarchist, Emma Goldman. Her sardonic description of the infamous murder trial involving American beauty, Evelyn Nesbit (a sultry Kristin Netzband) as the "crime of the century" is especially ironic.
-Fran Heller, Cleveland Jewish News
...and among the historical celebrities, Amiee Collier stands out as the fiery Emma Goldman
-Teddi Gibson-Bianchi, The Sun Press
Reasons to go: [...] and Amiee Collier's fiery Emma Goldman
