Reviews | Teah Mirabelli

Sweet Charity

Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

“I was quite taken with the show’s gutsy star, Teah Kiang Mirabelli, mostly because she so embodies the essential optimism of Charity, which is really what matters most. She’s not the traditional kind of performative, triple-threat Charity, a la Shirley MacLaine, but she’s real and vulnerable and Chicago-style and you’ll find yourself pulling for both performer and character which is key to this show.”

Entertaining Chicago

"Teah Kiang Mirabelli’s Charity is magnetic and all personality. While she is an incredibly gifted singer, dancer, and actor, her smile and presence make Charity stand out as sweet, awkward, and genuine. I enjoyed watching for what she would say or do next because it was often something completely unexpected (in the best of ways)."

Allie and the After Party

"Mirabelli is a force to be reckoned with as she maintains the same high level of energy throughout the whole show and being on stage for more than half of the musical numbers. That alone makes it worth seeing Sweet Charity."

"Leading lady Teah Kiang Mirabelli shines as the star of Sweet Charity, beaming and full of sunshiney optimism as she embarks on her quest for love."

"Mirabelli’s Charity is a funny, self-deprecating clown who just wants to love, and has a capacity for optimism and a bright smile that is almost superhuman."

"Teah Kiang Mirabelli brings Julia to the stage with a gentle warmth that immediately draws the audience in, and she positively glows as the character’s optimism and sincerity take shape. Her growing connection with Robbie feels effortless and genuine, supported by acting choices that are both clear and confidently delivered. Mirabelli gives Julia a grounded sincerity, a bright sense of humor, and a quiet emotional intelligence that enrich every scene she’s in. It’s a performance that consistently elevates the material and gives the show much of its heart. "

Chicago Onstage

"Mirabelli faces the challenge of stepping into a role made iconic by Barrymore, and while the character itself offers limited depth, she brings warmth and vocal strength that keep us invested in her journey. Even when her grounded portrayal contrasts with the broader comedic style around her, the emotional core of her performance remains clear. "

"Teah Kiang Mirabelli plays Julia Sullivan with beautiful vocals and a haunting persona. She is just delightful. "

Million Dollar Quartet Christmas

Theatre In Review

"As Elvis’ girlfriend Dyanne, Teah Kiang Mirabelli is a revelation. She infuses the stage with elegance, wit, and vocal brilliance, elevating every scene she’s in. More than just a supporting role, Mirabelli brings emotional depth and radiant charm, offering a counterpoint to the testosterone-fueled jam session. Her solos soar with precision and passion, and her presence adds a layer of warmth and complexity that rounds out the show’s dynamic pulse. Mirabelli is especially adorable during her cute, mandolin-playing Hawaiian themed number “Mele Kalikimaka"

Splash Magazine

"Teah Kiang Mirabelli is a veteran of the Marriott Theatre. She is a gifted singer, dancer, and actor. She has a sexy, sultry swagger. Her sassy comments and comebacks elicited loud laughter from the audience."

Picks In Six

"Dyanne is portrayed by Teah Kiang Mirabelli and she is a spitfire, with more dialogue and songs than in the original “MDQ.” Mirabelli’s talents especially shine with her rendition of “Santa Baby” and “Que Sera Sera.” She can also be found playing the ukulele, maracas, and the tambourine as backup to the four. Mirabelli is an appealing singer with a phenomenal vocal range. Her character provides the romantic subplot with an interesting twist at the end."

"Teah Kiang Mirabelli dazzles as Florence Colleymoore, embodying Sandra Wilkinson’s diva bravado with such gleeful abandon that each unhinged beat lands bigger than the last. "
