Reviews:

Cynthia Pierce: A regular in the "A Train" plays, this punk-rock singer with Georgia roots has built a strong track record, and fan base, with her ability to channel Deborah Harry, Carol Burnette and Marilyn Monroe – at the same time!
– excerpt of press kit for, Downsizing of the Gods, H.M. Quist, producer

 

[In Joe Godfrey’s, A Queer Carol]…Cynthia Pierce does a spot-on Marilyn Monroe—the whole breathy, cutesy, glamorous package. Wearing the white "subway grating" dress, she even resembles Marilyn…

Cynthia Pierce is breathlessly beautiful as Marilyn Monroe (Ghost of Xmas Past).

The country-inflected "Sleep of the Just" is quite a successful number, thanks to the over-the-top Tammy Wynette impersonation delivered by Cynthia Pierce.

The A-Train Plays, conceived and produced by Lawrence Feeney, recently got on a new track with their first full-length production, Manhattan Bound, a musical written, scored, rehearsed, and let loose on the world with a gestation period of just eight days!...It gave audiences the opportunity to see talented actors flex their theatrical muscles - and create some mighty fine performances conjured virtually out of a combination of thin air and craft. All of them deserve recognition: Erica Ash, Lawrence Feeney, Julie Garnye, Cynthia Pierce, Ron Stetson, Tracie Thoms and Kevin Townley

theAtrainplays, vol XX
…The smartest show of the bunch…pits world news readers against entertainment news readers. Both songs are quite clever, especially “The Jennifers,” (performed by Nathalie Douglas and Cynthia Pierce) and the five-person ensemble is as tight as can be.

The big finale…involves characters from various Broadway bombs such as Carrie: The Musical. [Carrie (played by Cynthia Pierce) leads the rag-tag bunch which] are stuck on the A train by a curse…Just about every inch of the stage is filled in this grand slam of pirated melodies and one-liners. It’s campy and sure to be a favorite of musical theatre lovers.

The Atrainplays are raw and explosive. You never know what might happen. They barrel through the program like a train running late. As one set of performers are exiting, others are entering. There is never a dull moment and not a weak link on either side of this production. The list of performers and creators is far too long to list here but each and every one of them deserves high praise for a job well done. There is nothing else quite like it in New York.

Now, to the business at hand, the New Jack Show this weekend. Ok. Cynthia Pierce kicked proverbial ass on Friday night with a stellar rendition of Amy Winehouse.
