Once the Musical at
Pioneer Theatre
“Hillary Porter plays Girl; her deadpan humor and hidden fragility are well balanced with her no-nonsense attitude and hardball focus. Porter is perfect for this role; as the show’s catalyst she weaves everything together… Her complete vulnerability singing ‘The Hill’ is heartbreaking, her lilting voice leaving the audience raw.”
— Jennifer Mustoe / FRONT ROW REVIEWERS

“For me, my number one good thing I liked about the show, was I really liked the girl who played ‘Girl,’ Hillary Porter. Her character, she stayed in it so strong the whole time, her accent was great, and her voice was really sweet. There was something that really drew me to her, and I just, I really couldn’t keep my eyes off her.”
“[Girl’s] role itself has a lot of really solid, dry humor one-liners, and she delivered them wonderfully, she was awesome.”

“Every bit [Guy’s] equal, Porter's Girl was also compelling. Particularly in the number ‘The Hill,’ where her vocals were as captivating as her expressive piano playing.”

“The two main characters, Guy, played by Roderick Lawrence, and Girl, played by Hillary Porter are a joy to watch... Porter matches that beauty of [Guy’s] vocals and exquisite piano talent in the second act when she sings, ‘The Hill.’”
— Maren Scriven / UTAH THEATRE BLOGGERS
“It's easy to single out Hillary Porter and Roderick Lawrence as Girl and Guy respectively for their stunning performances in the lead roles…”
— Blair Howell / BROADWAY WORLD
“Porter does a beautiful rendition of ‘The Hill,’ alone at the piano.”

CATS at North Shore Music Theatre
“Another irresistible pair is Hillary Porter as Rumpleteazer and Mark Donaldson as Mungojerrie - a romantically entwined pair of perfectly matched cats. Their impeccably timed and wildly acrobatic dance wows the audience."
— Sally Applegate / WICKED LOCAL
"The mischievous cat burglars Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer are well played by Mark Donaldson and Hillary Porter whose song livens up the show with their hilarious antics and their awesome dancing prowess with somersaults and tumbles."
— Tony Annicone / THEATRE MIRROR
"Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer, played by Mark Donaldson and Hillary Porter, respectively, were endearing and adorable. Porter had played Rumpleteazer at other venues and it was evident that was a favorite role.”

CATS National Tour
"Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer performed by Daniel Switzer and Hillary Porter, is probably the most physically taxing numbers to dance and sing simultaneously, and is a definite crowd pleaser."
— ORANGE COUNTY FAMILY
“Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer (Daniel Switzer and Hillary Porter, respectively) was a fabulous vadueville tribute with the appropriate amount of pizazz, stunts, and timing that it takes to pull off this number.”
— Marc Gonzalez / SAN JOSE BLOG
