cathy in "the last five years"

"And where in the world did he find this gem of a Cathy? Jessica Healy starred in the role of Cathy, pretty, talented Catholic girl trying to make it big as an actor and also, find a way to be happy... Healy sang with power, depth and emotion. She opened the show at a moment of extreme hurt and confusion in Cathy's life and she did it effortlessly. Many of us commented that we needed tissues all throughout the first act due much in part to Healy's sweet voice."
-Sarah Bailey, Foster's Daily Democrat

"To the great pleasure of the audience, Healy's right up there... The lady has pipes, not to mention great delivery. She captures the spirit of her character, her exuberance, weariness and insecurity."
-Jeanne McCartin, The Portsmouth Herald

ginger in "book of days"

"A line like, 'Love is something that makes you feel good all over, for about six weeks,' might seem rather uninventive until you've seen it delivered by Jessica Healy. As production assistant Ginger Reed, Healy not only provides a nice contrast to the townies, but she also creates a Reed who's confident enough to know that these people might indeed be crazy."
-Nick Dussault, Boston Metro

antonia in "man of la mancha"

"What works? The comic trio 'I'm Only Thinking of Him,' in which Jessica Healy gets to show her stuff as Quixote's innocently hypocritical heir apparent."
-Sandy MacDonald, The Boston Globe

"There are some solid performances in supporting roles, including ... Jessica Healy as Antonia"
-Rich Fahey, The Daily Item

"...the show doesn't catch fire musically until the quartet 'I'm Only Thinking of Him,' well performed by Jessica Healy"
-Will Stackman, Aisle Say, Boston

liesl in "the sound of music" at hackmatack

"Jessica Healy as Liesl has the show's most beautiful voice. That coupled with a terrific performance makes her a stand out."
-Jeanne McCartin, The Portsmouth Herald

liesl in "the sound of music" at seacoast rep

"The eldest, Liesl, played by Jessica Healy, was particularly convincing in her portrayal of a confused 16-going-on-17 young woman. Her singing voice, especially highlighted in Sixteen... was lilty and pleasurable."
-Amy K. Sosman, The Portsmouth Herald

"Jessica Healy as Liesl has a fine young voice and the beginnings of a solid presence on stage."
-Judy Harrison, York County Coast Star

"Perhaps the most perfectly casted roles are David Delaney as Rolf Gruber and Jessica Healy as Liesl... Healy also exhibits a strong singing voice, complementing Delaney well with her natural performance."
-Molly Hartle, The Haverhill Gazette
