OregonLive:
‘Matilda’ gets an ‘A’ for being delightfully deranged

Westside Theatre Reviews:
Singin’ in the Rain Takes Lake Oswego by Storm

"Another show highlight comes from Musical Director Beth Noelle and her tiny orchestra, who do full justice to the show’s 20+ songs."

Recipient: 2019 O.T.A.S. (Oregon Theatrical Awards Society) Award – Best Musical Director

All Things Performing Arts:
All the World's a Stage...

"Daum (Director) and Noelle (Music Director), both seasoned pros, have produced a show that is thought-provoking, scary and professional in scope."

From the Audience:

"[We] were absolutely blown away by the whole production [and the music was] off the charts fantastic!"

Westside Theatre Reviews:
An Early Halloween Treat

"Beth Noelle could not have been better as [Gomez Addams'] steely, dominant helpmate Morticia. Her duets with [him] are magic, and she somehow manages to turn her eyes into black marbles of pure fury when she’s angry."

All Things Performing Arts:
A "Grave" Family

"Noelle, as [Gomez Addams'] wife, is equally as good, having the right look/allure for the role, as well as the voice and acting chops to match. (She is also a fine musician/music director from a past production I saw elsewhere)."

—Dennis Sparks

All Things Performing Arts:
Thanks for the Memories

"I was blown away by [Musical Director Beth] Noelle and her musicians, and especially her on piano. It is a difficult score but they managed to connect with the performers (and audience) without drowning them out. And Noelle was a powerhouse on piano as she burned up the stage on the finales."

—Dennis Sparks

From Westside Theatre Reviews:

"Beth Noelle’s success at integrating vocals with instrumentation are immediately evident – the harmonies are tight and beautifully balanced with the musicians... [Noelle’s] intensity on the keyboard often rivals the intensity of the vocalists. She goes well beyond mere accompaniment, and her physicality reflects and enhances the spirit of each number."

BCT Knocks 'Into the Woods' Out of the Park

Oregon ArtsWatch:
Seeing the forest AND the trees

"[The Witch is] deliciously portrayed by an acerbic Beth Noelle."

The Oregonian:
Beaverton Civic Theatre's "Into the Woods" grants wish for mother-daughter acting duo

"For Beth Noelle and her daughter Olivia Noelle, landing their parts in the Beaverton Civic Theatre production of 'Into the Woods' seemed an act of fate eight years in the making."

"[The Witch is] the truth teller who holds people accountable. She can be scary ... and I'm not afraid of portraying that."

Westside Theatre Reviews:
You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

"Beth Noelle ('Lucy') while hopelessly enamored of Schroeder, never loses sight of her primary obsession with herself. She IS the queen, and never allows the audience to forget it."
