Laura has an uncanny editor’s gift to make things muscular and dramatically clean.
-Robert Bowie Jr., Playwright, Baltimore
“Working with Laura has been life-changing. My show sold out at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater, I’ve received four play commissions, and a screenwriting fellowship. Laura lifts me up, helps me see the bigger picture, and how to attain it.”
- Anya Pearson, Writer/Producer/Activist

"A tantalising look at the world of Rita Hayworth." THE LONDON TIMES, CLIVE DAVIS
"The Five Men I Married is a sultry standout, a vampish dispatch with Bob Fosse overtones that plays out like the famous hall of mirrors scene from The Lady of Shanghai… inspired…a pleasing meeting of real life, myth and art." THE UPCOMING, LONDON
“The Rita Hayworth Musical will leave you transfixed by the energetic dance, heady with the drama behind the scenes of Hollywood and mesmerised by the music.” NORTHWEST END UK
“We see Hayworth constantly scaling the obstacles of life, negotiating the snakes and ladders of Hollywood, sometimes spot-lit on a pedestal of glory and sometimes perched precariously in a sea of sharks.” QUEER GURU
'Outstanding...Kinglsey-Smith... is fluid, graceful, and performed a spectacular tap number... it is a delight having her showcase Hayworth’s dancing.' LOST IN THEATRE LAND
