Collected Stories
Miracle on South Division Street
Talented actors exceptionally fit for their roles – VC Star
The actors, in finely nuanced and cleverly chiseled characterizations, bring the emotional power of the play into Rubicon's spotlight with finesse – VC Star
Riveting – LA Times
Played with assured conviction” – LA Times
The performers realize this complexity in a richly-shaded confrontation with conflicted logic of head and heart. – LA Times
Clark and Andrews are both formidable performers and easily slip into their characters like a comfortable pair of slippers. –VC Onstage
Andrews, however, undergoes subtle changes as her character grows older and becomes more of a peer to Ruth. Margulies’ believable script makes it easier for the performers to envelope their characters, but Andrews manages to do much more than just read her lines well. – VC Onstage
By Scene 3, Lisa has clearly changed. She is no longer a hand-wringing, oversensitive student. Andrews pitches her voice lower to reflect her character’s growing maturity and confidence. Lisa now calls Ruth by her first name and isn’t afraid to contradict and even argue with her. By the end of the play, both women’s sharpened wits are used to injure one another, - VC Onstage
A Trip To Bountiful
Andrews was Dink O'Neal's Critics Pick for ArtsinLA.com!
"Andrews completly inhabits her role as the wisecracking, beer-swigging, bowling league-playing, tough girl/sibling in this sniping but supportive family. It's as though she just stepped off of a bus from Buffalo, N.Y., and took up the residence onstage at The Colony."
"Beverly is the quiet, unwilling participant in the game, the less rebellious daughter, a difficult role to play, and Andrews handles it's complexities beautifully." -BroadwayWorld.com
"Smart casting!" -Los Angeles Times
"No-nonsense and intense Beverly...Thanks all to the actors' comedic timing and sharp ptrayals of their engaging characters, the fun begins as soon as the play does, and the hilarious payoff of the third act is even more of a belly shaker... Brought to vivid life by Director BRIAN SHNIPPER and his great cast." -MyBurbank.com
"I was really taken with the young woman who plays Thelma; she had the coltish grace of Laura Dern, and enormous reserves of empathy." -New York Post
"One is particularly taken by Meghan Andrews, who...delivers a subtle performance of wonderfully earnest sweetness that's blended with well-bred respect for one's elders." -American Theatre Web
"On a Monday, I worked [in rehearsals] with Meghan Andrews, who played the girl on the bus in Bountiful. When she was 11, she had played Ruthie in Grapes of Wrath. Now, she was a beautiful, very accomplished actress…“ Lois Smith, Playbill.com
"The highest point of a show with many peaks is a simple, triangular scene, set in the tiny bus station in Harrison. We see Smith's terrified Watts, unsure of what to do next. We see a ticket agent, played by the extraordinary Frank Girardeau, who uses the mechanics of Foote's polite conversation to show us a decent man who has retreated almost into nothing. And we follow Meghan Andrews, who plays a decent young woman whom Miss Watts has encountered on her journey and who would help her even more, if she wasn't so scared of the world. There was so much going on in that little room on the Goodman stage Sunday night, I didn't want the scene to end." - Chicago Tribune
"Meghan Andrews, sweetness personified as the gracious Thelma." – Daily Herald
"a delicate, perfectly nuanced performance." - William Wolf / Wolf Entertainment
"...played with terrific sensitivity and charm." - Curtain Up
"Meghan Andrews as Thelma is the perfect counterpoint to the abrasive Jessie Mae, right down to her gentle smile and white gloves, in a lovely brief performance. The character is a plot device, but Andrews imbues her with a sense of time and place that makes her real and multidimensional." - Gay City News
"As Thelma, the benevolent traveling companion, Andrews is what Mrs. Watts says of her: "sweet, considerate and thoughtful. And pretty."
- Theatremania.com
"Meghan Andrews is unusually affecting as the kindly stranger." - Daily News

- bloomberg.com

Educating Rita
Clocks and Whistles
"Meghan Andrews’ Rita is at the top of her game and comes off as spunky, quirky, carefree and freewheeling." - Examiner
"Andrews (last seen as the Chanteuse in “Words by....”) sells this show all by herself, with her skintight clothes, endearing thirst for knowledge, and hair that changes shades to reflect her new sophistication." - San Diego Gay and Lesbian News
"Andrews – who gives Rita an appealing swagger – brings things to a hush as her character describes seeing her mother crying at a pub, in the middle of (supposed) merrymaking with her friends and family." - UT San Diego
"Meghan Andrews, who plays Rita, lights up the stage with an earnestness to learn, in Rita’s words, “everything.” As Rita’s hair and clothes gain sophistication, Andrews crafts the way Rita speaks and moves, embodying the transition of a woman learning to find herself in the midst of E.M. Foster and Shakespeare." - The Coast News
"Meghan Andrews (who was excellent as the shy young bride in the recent "Trip to Bountiful") didn't flinch from portraying the needy cruel Anne." - New York Times
"Meghan Andrews's is the play's graceful anchor. For all her flightiness, Anne is a remarkably strong character in Andrews' hands. Meghan Andrews' scene work is magnificent, and her pub encounteer with Henry is heartbreakingly unparalleled." - EDGE New York
"As Anne, a would-be Sally Bowles, Meghan Andrews nicely captures the many extremes of the character, ranging between pathetic and passionate, vixen and victim, desirable and desperate. Anne may not be vital, but Ms. Andrews certainly is." - Broadway World
"Meghan Andrews - quite skilled at adopting Anne's highbred Sloane accent- is in good form." - Off Off Online Reviews
Doubt
"Sister James, an inexperienced but highly idealistic teacher, played with heartbreaking intensity by Meghan Andrews." - NY Times
"[Meghan] Andrews is so credible as the inexperienced and idealistic young teacher that her alternating fear, nervousness, disappointment and elation ripple palpably through the theater as she performs." - Home News Tribune
“Meghan Andrews has a heartbreakingly sweet innocence as Sister James.” - nj.com
“Meghan Andrews nicely projects the unease and weakness of Sister James.” - talkingbroadway.com
