Hello Again - ​Theo Ubique

"As is typical here, a cast of young, emerging performers serve as a collective reminder of the level of musical talent in the city, waiting for an opportunity. In particular, Nora Navarro, who plays the nurse, and
​Molly LeCaptain, who plays the young wife, both are excellent."
- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune (click for the full review)

"...played by the mega-talented Molly LeCaptain."
​- Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review (click for the full review)

Molly LeCaptain..." Chicagoland Musical Theatre (click for the full review)

"LaChiusa’s music sounds even better in the hands of Didier’s cast, several of whom pack powerhouse pipes that could fill houses far larger than Theo Ubique’s pleasingly intimate cabaret." Chicago Sun-Times (click for the full review)

 The Bridges of Madison County - ​Theo Ubique

​

The Full Monty - Theo Ubique

​"LeCaptain, in particular, continues to be one of those musical talents in town to watch." - Misha Davenport, Broadway World

"The women in these men’s lives are largely supporting characters to their spouses/exes, but when the spotlight hits them, we hear and see real talent: including Molly LeCaptain as Georgie, Dave’s supportive wife..." - Bill Esler, Buzz Center Stage

"Talented Molly LeCaptain is beautiful as brassy belter Georgie, Dave's patient and caring wife." - Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review

Yank! A WWII Love Story - Pride Films & Plays
​Jeff Nomination - Best Supporting Performer in a Musical

"Molly LeCaptain (with a power voice that can move easily from jazz to operatta-like heights) is superb playing all the women's roles." - Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times (Read the entire review)

"Molly LeCaptain also turns in engaging performances...Her sultry performance of "Blue Twilight" is reminiscent of Judy Garland in her prime. Her lush vocals heighten the growing romantic tension between Mitch and Stu as they listen to the song over the radio on a moonlit beach." - Misha Davenport, Broadway World (Read the entire review)

​"Molly LeCaptain provides an outstanding performance, doing double-duty by playing EVERY SINGLE FEMALE CHARACTER IN THE ENTIRE MUSICAL....And killing her musical numbers in a classic 1940s style." - Chicagoland Musical Theatre

"Molly LeCaptain stands out..." Theatre by Numbers (Read the entire review)

"Kudos to Molly LeCaptain, who plays every single female character in this show. The mistress of the quick wig and costume change, she’s appropriately maternal as Stu’s mother, hard-as-nails as the General’s girl Friday and sultry as every songbird singer on the radio. She gently caresses songs like “The Saddest Gal What Am,” “Get It, Got It, Good,” the lovely “Blue Twilight” and the sentimental “My Soldier.” Ms. LeCaptain shows off a versatile, powerhouse vocal style that should bring her to the attention of casting directors all over Chicago." - Chicago Theatre Review (Read the entire review)

"...her powerful voice and vocal styles adapt to every genre. She surely must be setting a record for the most costume and wig changes in a single show." - Nancy Bishop, Third Coast Review (Read the entire review)

 "...lone female Molly LeCaptain [sings] up a storm with several fine period-style numbers." - Jonathan Abarbanel, Windy City Times (Read the entire review)

"Molly LeCaptain, a charming performer with a powerful set of pipes..." - Jessie Bond, Splash Mags (Read the entire review)

"Aptly Named" - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

Tick, Tick...Boom! - ​Cuckoo's Theater Project

“Molly LeCaptain shines as the star talent of this production: her incredibly powerful voice demonstrates a strong understanding of the score--both in pitch and style--and the subtleties of her dynamics create compelling musical arcs which are heightened by her believable characterizations and candid responses.” – Quinn Rigg, Chicagoland Musical Theatre

"Molly LeCaptain is the bright spot of the production as Jon’s irritated girlfriend. Her performance radiates a sad affection for this man who will never put her before his work, and her singing is powerful while at the same time finely modulated for Prop Thtr’s small space." - Oliver Sava, Chicago Reader

"Molly LeCaptain put her powerful vocals to good use and morphed well into several other characters." Splash Magazine
Picture
"Molly LeCaptain gives a beautiful performance as John’s girlfriend determined to find her own path. Her vocal talent shines, as well as her comedic timing when embodying the caricature-like Rosa, John’s agent." - Stephanie Dykes, Picture This Post

"Her Susan is intelligent and funny, with a beautiful voice and a dwindling sense of patience with her wayward boyfriend." Chicago Theatre Beat

Strangest Things! The Musical - ​Random Acts

"LeCaptain has a powerful voice and nails the challenging vocal lines...She plays her character's descent into madness fairly straight-forward and believable (no small feat considering one of the songs is sung to a ball of flashing Christmas lights that her character thinks is her lost son communicating with her).  ....breakout performance....." - Misha Davenport, Broadway World

"Molly LeCaptain...can flat out belt... LeCaptain does a good job in taking on Winona Ryders’ character, over-amplifying her panic-stricken, bewildered and frenzied traits at just the right intensity..." - Buzz Center Stage

"LeCaptain channels Winona Ryder with near perfection...She often sounds so fantastic that it's easy to forget that the lyrics are comedic." - The Hawk Chicago

"...particularly good-natured and fun, ...Molly LeCaptain's face-pulling Winona Ryder..." - Dan Jakes, Chicago Reader
Picture
"Molly LeCaptain playing Will’s mother, Juice, is also a comedic masterpiece onstage. LeCaptain has strong vocal abilities and plays Juice with as much frantic energy as Winona Ryder. Her chemistry with Sheriff Hopper...is fun to watch as they allude to their mysterious backstory while also keeping each other from falling into flashbacks..." - Alexis Bujagski, Picture This Post

the production is packed with terrific singing, dancing, and puppetry." - Chicago Reader

omato Queen—...tells the story of Camina (a stellar Molly LeCaptain), who's sent away to "commercial success" camp by her parents..." Chicago Reader
