“Lovely, Italian-born Francesca Capetta’s slight accent colored her “God Help the Outcasts” from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, her face expressing as much as her voice.”
– Joel Benjamin, Theaterpizzazz.com
“The very beautiful Capetta opened with a dramatic and emotive “La vie en rose,”Piaf’s signature song. (…) Capetta’s evocative facial expressions enhanced her performance of “If You Love Me (Really Love Me),” the hit English version of the Piaf-penned L’hymne à l’amour.”
– Ron Forman, Cabaret Scenes
