What the Critics Say...
"Susannah de Wrixon has really only to sing and talk to conquer her audiences - but she does more. Her voice has that memorable quality of giving little darts of pleasure, it has a velvety texture and slides through the octaves with unforced ease, making every song special.

"Our hostess is a natural, singing in the jazz idiom, always stirring grace notes and variations into the arrangements."
Gerry Colgan - Irish Times
"Every once in a while you get to hear a voice that's a little bit special. Susannah de Wrixon is that kind of woman - jazzy and bluey, silky and sultry. A voice to send you to dreamland happy not sad."
Eugene Moloney - Irish Independent
"De Wrixon has almost mesmerizing in spots, intriguingly realing her choice of numbers with the tale of Lee's life. Susannah's songs varied from joyous to tear jerking."
Peter Keavy - Cabaret Scenes
"Susannah has everything needed to interpret the songs associated with Peggy Lee - voice, timing, a sense of rhythm and a feeling for the nuances of a lyric."
Grainne Farren - Sunday Independent
"De Wrixon's voice is perfectly pitched and beautiful in tone"
Joe Jackson
(As Married As We Get): "under Mark O'Halloran's apt and simple direction Susannah de Wrixon and John Delaney deliver two richly-intertwined and highly comic performances."
David Nolan - Irish Times
(Coriolanus): "There is an extraordinary performance of emotional implacibility from Susannah de Wrixon as Volumnia"
Emer O'Kelly - Sunday Indepdent
(Just a Little One): "It's very, very clear and quite marvellously performed by Susannah de Wrixon and Karen Egan and directed with a sharp edge by Trevor Knight"
Emer O'Kelly - Sunday Independent
(N.C.H.): "A blazing new talent"
Gay Byrne - Sunday Independent
