"After making a splash with projects like “Ragtime” on Ellis Island in 2016, a 2021 documentary about South Korean theater in the early days of COVID, and this year, an “Evita” revival... Cannold leads a creative team that has made it a point to set a new Broadway bar for inclusivity and accessibility, both onstage and behind the scenes."

"Sammi Cannold may be only 29, but already the theater director has shown her knack for interpreting the shows of Harold Prince.

"The New York-based wunderkind has already left her mark on the D.C. scene."

Thomas Floyd

"[Cannold] makes a confident Broadway debut, marshaling a superb cast including autistic actors playing the seven primary characters."

"A compassionate, coming-of-age musical...exuberant [and] sentimental"

"Cannold’s take is informed by feminism — 'I think she’s a victim and a survivor who learned to use her sexuality as armor,' she said of Perón — but also by the regime’s authoritarianism... 'I’ve gone on a whole journey, and land in a different place.'"
