THEATRE REVIEW

“[Bialystock’s] retinue of old chicks with big checks includes the fantastic Rachel Livingston who gave a delirious edge to the role of Honey in the Invictus production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf.  She doesn’t miss a beat with great physical comedy calling Bialystock’s bluff. I will never think of granny bloomers the same way again”

THEATRE REVIEW

“In this male dominated world, the marginalized women make a strong impression. Rachel Livingston is full of rage and pride as the headstrong Portia…splendid performances by both women.”

THEATRE REVIEW

“Rachel Livingston as St. Agnes is both hilarious and terrifying. Livingston played Honey in the Invictus production of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf with unhinged brilliance. There is a generous helping of off-kilter energy in this performance [of Rectitude]. One of the audience members referred to her character as “saucy.” I would say that, as in Catholicism, this saint was menacing and seductive.”

Third Coast Review - Kathy D. Hey

THEATRE REVIEW

“This cast [of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf] does not have a weak link. All four leave such an indelible mark that the characters remain even when offstage…My favorite character in this beautiful maelstrom is Nick’s wife Honey and Rachel Livingston plays her magnificently. Honey is a mousy character who seems prim and proper, laughs nervously, and says all the right things. Livingston plays Honey as someone who has suppressed her feelings and ambition…Livingston fleshes out the character more than I have seen in previous productions where actors have tried to emulate Sandy Dennis’ portrayal in the film.”

Third Coast Review - Kathy D. Hey

THEATRE REVIEW

“As Honey, Rachel Livingston is masterful at the bait and switch.”

Talkin’ Broadway - Christine Malcom

THEATRE REVIEW

“Livingston’s slow descent into hysterics makes terrific and unnerving fare out of [Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf’s] most marginal role.”

The Chicago Maroon - Noah Glasgow

THEATRE REVIEW

“Rachel Livingston is adorable, funny and a delight to watch…Honey is the plainest of all and Ms. Livingston captures the essence of her character perfectly.”

Around the Town Chicago - Alan Bresloff

THEATRE REVIEW

“Beautifully directed by Charles Askenaizer, [Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf] is acted by a first-rate foursome, who engage the script’s rhythms and dynamics with the sensitivity of a finely tuned string quartet…As Honey, Rachel Livingston is an Ibsen-esque doll-wife, with her sing-songy laugh and mousy manner of nibbling at the cocktail nuts on the coffee table. But, like Uppling, she reveals the pain and frustration of a woman trapped in the “feminine mystique”…”

Chicago Reader - Albert Williams

This fall, I’ll start filming feature-length film The Gray Girl along with a super cast

THEATRE REVIEW

“Chameleon and ensemble member, Rachel Livingston, is called into portraying a wide range of characters [in Baskerville]. As Mrs. Hudson, Sherlock’s elderly, but spirited maid, Livingston’s jerky movements and hunched frame bring us to believe Livingston truly is Mrs. Hudson.”

Picture This Post - Annabelle Harsch

THEATRE REVIEW

“The other three actors [in Baskerville], Gabriel Fries, Rachel Livingston and Jason Richards, are delectable in their witty, often gender-bending portrayals of almost 40 characters. They are energetic, comedic, innocent deliverers of groaners galore and talents.”
