"YOU NAME IT, SHE PLAYS IT. AND SHE DOES A SPLENDID JOB STEALING THE SHOW. HER COMFORTABLE AND HILARIOUS ABILITIES SEEM TO COME FROM HER HEART AS IF SHE IS ADLIBBING HER SCENES. NO FORCED DIALOGUE FROM HER....[BARTEL] IS A SCENE STEALER, AND IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THIS ACTOR. SHE’S THAT GOOD."

"There are no breaks for these actors — just as the actual housemates were continuously together for two years — and the performances of Prime’s players are focused and impassioned even when they have no dialogue." |

"John Michnya (as Boxer) and Chelsea Bartel (as caring and lovable Clover) stand out among the talented cast...they are the two you find yourself having compassion for." |

"Chelsea Bartel’s Paula is in a perpetual state of emotional exhaustion, but always feels like she’s ready to give the audience a laugh. She’s a very grin-and-bear-it type, but her pain is visible all the same." |

"CHELSEA BARTEL IS AN EXCELLENT DIANA... SHE HAS A LASER FOCUS ON BOTH THE COMEDY AND TRAGEDY OF THE CHARACTER... BARTEL’S PERFORMANCE IS SO ON POINT IT FEELS LIKE SHE HERSELF INVENTED THE CHARACTER[.]" |
"Bartel [expressed] Yitzhak’s emotions clearly, ...transforming from exasperation, to pain, to a tortured love, underpinned by a slow-burning anger. ...Bartel infused the song with a sadness that cuts a line straight down through the heart." |

"When we move down into the supporting roles, this is where most companies find themselves coming up short for powerhouse talent...but not here. ...Chelsea Bartel has a field day playing Penny’s wackiness..." |
"The only charity coffers she cares to fill are her own, but Bartel neatly flips on a pretense of caring for the underserved in front of the supposed Inspector General." |

"Bartel was a true force of nature as the wildly dramatic diva...The chemistry between Bartel and Crystal was sincere and genuine...Their back-and-forth was as lively and well timed as a fast-paced tennis match — true comedic gold." |
