“Olivia Boen is a singer of such natural talent that it is easy to take for granted the exceptional artistry that underpins it. Her musicianship is a rare combination of intelligence and passion, confidence and curiosity – with all in equal balance.”

“As for the female cat, Olivia Boen (Mrs Alice Ford) deploys during the evening a supple and velvety voice, as agile as it is deep. Very funny and seasoned on stage, she makes a very promising debut, in the role and at the Paris Opera.”
