Legally Blonde - Candlelight Pavilion

"Rounding out the female principals is Tara Shoemaker as Elle’s adversary, Vivienne, who plays off Olivia well with a jealous antagonism before making her redemptive transformation with an invigorating vocal belt in 'Legally Blonde Remix.'" -LA Excites

"Tara Shoemaker radiates all the nastier traits of the privileged class as Warner’s new love interest." -Daily Bulletin

"Shoemaker’s vivacious (and equally vocally blessed) Waverly." -StageSceneLA

"Tara Shoemaker laudably succeeds in the potentially tricky role of the aptly named “Waverly” (because she’s stuck ‘wavering’ between wanting to have her cake and eating too.) While this could make her come off as a little flaky or self-centered, Shoemaker winningly paints her as likeably human and (more importantly) relatable—rousing our empathy as opposed to our scorn. She also has a pleasant, mellow-introspective way with a song that easily makes her numbers like “Stay” and “I Wish There Was A Reason”, not to mention her involvement with the title song touching stand-outs." -Buck-ing Trends
