Rave Reviews

On her electric performance as Mary Warren in Vigilance Theatre Group's performance of The Crucible:

"...Kocur gives an emotionally charged performance as Mary Warren. This character I usually dislike, but I feel the audience gets to see the mental and physical abuse she's being put through and her fear of resentment, abandonment, and exclusion. I appreciate the actors' choices because the approach taken to these characters added a new dimension to the text."

~Jade Goodes, OnStage Pittsburgh

On her dual performance as Claire Clairemont and Justine Moritz in Prime Stage Theatre's Frankenstein:

"Woe to those drawn to battle between Victor Frankenstein and Just Frankenstein, especially Maddie Kocur as Justine the unfortunate nanny. In the play's best scene, the Creature's 'last temptation' of the woman he has framed for murder, Kocur is heartbreaking..."

-Greg Kerestan, Broadway World Pittsburgh

"Kocur as Justine Moritz is as effective as the pitiful woman convicted of a crime she didn't commit."

-Claire DeMarco, 'Burgh Vivant

On her respective performances as Jo March in Little Women and Annie in Annie:

"One cannot help but fall in love with the passion and attitude expressed by Maddie Kocur, whose powerful voice and acting translate a character from a stuffy old book who can now come alive in front of you."

-Caroline Lindey, Pittsburgh Post Gazette

"Maddie Kocur's exciting performance of Annie fooled everyone watching. Instead of feeling as if we were seeing a ninth-grader acting on [a high school] stage, we all marveled over the strength of one spunky orphan. For the audience, falling dewey eyed went hand in hand when she sang 'Tomorrow.' Aileen Quinn, the original Annie, would be proud to see young Maddie... perfecting the good old Annie charm. She was truly endearing."

-Sydnee Turner, Pittsburgh Post Gazette
