This is an unbelievably talented ensemble, but several performances hit me especially hard. Chelsie Nectow is magnificent as Beverley and Annette, with a beautiful voice that makes “Me and the Sky” soar. That has always been my favorite song in the show, and Nectow’s huge vocals made me love it even more.
-Stephen Kearley, The BroadGAYS
Nectow, also playing the pilot, Beverley, stands out in her solo, “Me and the Sky,” describing her growing up wanting to fly planes and the resistance she received being a female. Ultimately, she rejoices reaching her goal of flying for a major airlines. Every time Nectow sings, her glorious voice commands our attention.

Nectow is superb as she renders Beverley’s life's journey in the emotionally charged "Me and the Sky," quite possibly the show’s most well-known musical number.

Siren, played by Chelsie Nectow, enters as a formidable and captivating antagonist, injecting tension and excitement into the production. Nectow delivers a spellbinding performance...Her vocal agility, precise intonation during rapid slides, gritty power, and softer ballad moments showcase masterful control, making every note a standout.
-The Poplar Review
Chelsie Nectow as Siren is sheer succubus magnetism, her Broadway-caliber voice filling the theater while still reserving softness for vulnerable moments.
-New England Theatre Geek
Chelsie Nectow is a powerhouse as Siren. Her stage presence is magnetic, and her vocals are absolutely electric. Chelsie also shines in her inventive musicianship. Her comedic instincts are sharp, and she balances the character's chaotic energy with moments of surprising vulnerability. As the only woman in the trio, she brings fierce energy and depth.

Nectow is not only a phenomenal singer, the performer is simply tremendous as Alice… Thanks to Nectow’s steadfast approach, Alice is proven to have the most depth and growth..and we simply feel privileged to be along that journey with her.
-Kevin T. Baldwin, METR Magazine
Alice is played with aplomb by Chelsie Nectow, who manages the 16-year-old version of herself brilliantly. As the older editor of Asheville Southern Journal, she is equally impressive. Her singing is the equal of her acting, and in songs like “Way Back in the Day” and “I Had a Vision” she is perfection.
-J. Peter Bergman, The Berkshire Edge
