Director Orenstein has found a considerable talent in local actress Lauri Kraft, who performs the role of Evita beautifully and with the sort of presence that Eva Peron herself must have projected to her admirers.
EVITA, The Washington Post
Lauri Kraft, as a Pleasantville-perfect matron with a soft heart and a dark secret, finds precisely the right blend of plastic and earnest.
BAT BOY: THE MUSICAL, Washington City Paper
(Helen Hayes Nomination)
... thanks in no small part to an amazing performance by Lauri Kraft in the title role as Eva Peron. Kraft could teach Madonna a thing or three about letting the character drive the performance... Kraft hits Evita's cynical rise to sainthood in Argentina straight on the head..."
EVITA, Bowie-Blade News
Lauri Kraft, so marvelous at sending up musical-theater convention in Bat Boy, The Musical last year, proves… that she can play it straight and lose not an ounce of her appeal.

And then there is Kraft. From the second she opens her mouth, everyone at the table sits up straight. Every move she makes is like water pouring from an elegant pitcher -- smooth, direct, refreshing.
- Marc Fisher, The Washington Post
No longer just the hand that rocks the cradle, women became the country's infrastructure. All this is realized in Steel Pier's Lauri Kraft ("Rita Racine"), an equally talented actress, singer and dancer who was remarkably up to the task."
