“…this ensemble deserves attention.” – David Finkle, VillageVoice.com

On Marquee Five: “When the five of them harmonize, they’re reminiscent of the reception choir stationed directly inside the Pearly Gates. The five of them are Julie Reyburn, Vanessa Parvin, Sierra Rein, Mick Bleyer, and Adam West Hemming, the latter of whom apparently does all the arranging. They also divvy up in various, usually rewarding ways throughout their set. Not too many quintets make a go of this sort of thing; this ensemble deserves attention.” -David Finkle, VillageVoice.com Cheers, Sierra Rein “I don’t sing because I’m happy, I’m happy because I sing” – William James

A Stellar review of Marquee Five’s show “We Can Make It” by Andrew Martin, nightlifeexchange.com

Read this review by Andrew Martin about Marquee Five’s debut and MAC Award-winning show…it’s breathtaking: link here Close-harmony vocal group Marquee Five, who happen to be a 2010 MAC Award nominee, has a unique angle in their approach. It’s not just their superb blend in song, and it’s not just their perfect physical counterpart to one another; rather, it’s that they were borne from a production of And The World Goes ‘Round, the famed revue by Kander and Ebb which started Off-Broadway and became a shot heard ’round the world, as it were. As, indeed, so might Marquee Five, ifContinue readingA Stellar review of Marquee Five’s show “We Can Make It” by Andrew Martin, nightlifeexchange.com
