Amos and Boris at South Coast Rep- one of my favorite reviews
Aviva Pressman is a magnetic storyteller. -Broadway World
As the wife who always supports him but often gets left at home to raise their two sons alone, Aviva Pressman gives a beautifully grounded, nuanced performance. -Times of San Diego
Whether not-so-coyly enticing Frederic or militantly leading the band of policemen to attack the pirates, she is a powerhouse. -Davis Enterprise
All four are enjoyable, alternating from funny to dramatic and emotionally tender as the years progress, with a believable chemistry — especially between Mongiardo-Cooper and Pressman, who portray Stan and Vera’s love story as it unfolds over the decades. A perfect example of this is when they sing “It Had to Be You.” Pressman is also especially good at showing the aging of their characters through her physical movements.- San Diego Tribune
the beautifully voiced Aviva Pressman -Sacramento Bee
Lovely soprano -Sacramento News & Review
Noteable singer -Washington DC Showbiz Radio
Especially effective are a number of musical standards including ...“If Love Were All,” which [is] performed with aplomb and breathes a nice note of relaxation into the frenetic proceedings. -DC Metro Theatre Arts
Aviva Pressman has her ensemble drawing the scenery in jaw-dropping synch with the rest of the business. -Backscatter
Aviva Pressman’s live art design, where the cast quickly draws pictures on a huge white paper backdrop, is amazingly good, particularly considering how little time the actors have to create the art. -Stage Raw
Pressman a thoughtful bookworm... [is] polished and appears to have a wonderful time portraying the chaos of a modern home…to the delight of the audience. -Maryland Theatre Guide
Absolutely Filthy features finely rendered cameo appearances by Aviva Pressman and Ed Goodman as a pair of surprise cartoon character guests. -Stage Scene LA
DEADLIFT REVIEWS (Aviva's One Woman Show)
While Deadlift would certainly be beautiful if presented on stage, it's perfect as it is. - Broadway World
Deadlift is fulfilling and moving, hilarious and honest. - Broadway World
Deadlift utilizes Pressman’s many gifts without ever seeming to be a showcase. Her singing is merely glimpsed through a couple of casual throw-aways but was thrilling nonetheless. The piece comes from a place of “This is for you” rather than “Look at me”, a rare and welcome quality for a one-person show. - Gia on the Move
fabulous...beautifully structured, too, the story plus the art - Joanna Gleason, Broadway legend
...so beautiful! Laughed and cried a lot, thought about what kind of parents we want to be...so lovely -Madhuri Shekar, prolific playwright and screenwriter
Warm, inviting, funny, and impactful..charming and exciting - Jeremy Aluma, President of the Alliance for Jewish Theatre
