“Miyuki Miyagi best represents the magnificence and passion of Brel’s songs. Her enchanting voice has that little something extra that separates hers from others of her ilk – a bell-like soprano with a husky, honeyed edge that puts an exclamation mark on her singing.” - Cary Ginell (VC on Stage)

“Miyuki Miyagi’s take on ‘Timid Frieda’ is a revelatory delight” - Brian Wallace (Edge Media)

“Much of the pathos of the evening comes from Miyuki Miyagi, which is noteworthy since she has the fewest numbers in the cast—just two or three major songs. In “Timid Frieda” …she conveys the fear and powerlessness of the character with specific, aching realism. With her contained, subtle movements, she sent chills up my spine. In some songs, like “Sons Of,” she held my attention even though she wasn’t even singing. She doesn’t pull focus, not at all, but she’s just so there, a singer and actress who seems to stay in the moment always.” - Samuel Garza Bernstein (Stage and Cinema)
