“Acting standouts include Corpuz, whose Lucy demonstrates girl boss power and pipes… It’s worth travelling to the portal called Soulpepper to see this particular brand of acting magic.”

“The four siblings do superb work with Belinda Corpuz being exceptional as Lucy.”

“Belinda Corpuz’s Lucy is every bit as hopeful and joyful as a young child.”

“Belinda Corpuz gives Lucy the wide-eyed optimism the story depends on, grounded by sincerity and spirit rather than sugar.”

“As the youngest, Lucy, Belinda Corpuz is lively, sweet, curious, energetic and touchingly innocent. Lucy’s basic decency comes out because of the beautiful way that Belinda Corpuz plays her.”

“Matthew Joseph, Sierra Haynes, Landon Doak, and Belinda Corpuz form a strong ensemble that genuinely listens, observes, and responds naturally to unfolding events. As they cross into Narnia from the wardrobe, I can’t help but smile. The four encourage and coax each other convincingly, just like curious children wondering who will step through first. They don’t act like adults playing children; instead, they convincingly become restless kids with unique personalities. It’s hard not to like these four. We cheer for them or empathize with their situation, especially in real-life moments that turn dark.”

“Corpuz has a sweetness to her which shines through in Annelle“

“It’s music director and composer Belinda Corpuz who delivers the production’s most consistently winning performance, however, punctuating the action with achingly beautiful versions of Shakespeare’s songs, with music by a number of Canadian luminaries. Whenever Corpuz sings, things truly bloom.“

“An especially memorable performance comes from Corpuz as the girl who confronts Penny on the street, Sherry (Belinda Corpuz). Corpuz has the least amount of stage time, but delivers a few raw, gripping moments that are difficult to watch but impossible to look away from.”

“Belinda Corpuz left me broken as the trapped, trafficked Sherry, with her desperate pleas for nicer things, for help, for an out.”

“Sharp bursts of energy that come from Bundoc and Corpuz, still grappling with how to move on from the violence they’ve experienced, but clearly haven’t lost their lighter sides, especially seen in a formative scene where Alma teaches Alfredo how not to disturb the spirits who live in termite mounds”

“Belinda Corpuz demonstrates both poise and vocal strength.”

“Belinda Corpuz as Tita Scary stands out vocally in a number that has her belting into a broom handle”

“Belinda Corpuz as Purification “Puring” Saberon was perfect as the ‘nice’ nurse. She was sweet and charming but she had a backbone of steel. Her reaction whenever anyone swore was priceless.“

“Corpuz’s kind-hearted Puring... coming off as the most real and relatable.”

“Corpuz came out the best actress on stage with her in-depth dramatization and intelligent execution of her character. Corpuz’s range of emotions manifest the hope, aspiration, frustration, despair and anger that dwells in the tone and substance the play tries to convey.“

“Belinda Corpuz’s improvisation piano solo helps to create the combination of warmth and hopeful mood“
