Head Over Heels with Monumental Theatre Company
“Candice Shedd-Thompson as Gynecia can send a burn with her eyes second to none. While she’s very funny when she’s all atwitter and girlish… she’s hysterical when she’s sending the burn”
-Mary Ann Johnson, Maryland Theatre Guide

“Shedd-Thompson’s Gynecia was an alluring balance of dignified poise and purposed resolution with playfully powerful vocals”

Rooms: A Rock Romance with MetroStage
“Candice Shedd-Thompson fully serves up Monica’s larger-than-life personality, with a dollop of vulnerability…She has a fine voice and delivers the ballads especially with a poignant yearning.”
-Mary Ann Johnson, Maryland Theatre Guide

“The variety in musical language…allows Shedd-Thompson to move up and down her considerable range…this ‘wee lass’ can put the equivalent of pedal to the metal when she needs to rock the house…though, there are plenty of songs where she shows us she possesses a beautiful soprano sound”
-Susan Galbraith, DC Theatre Scene
“Candice Shedd-Thompson and Matthew Schleigh, the only two actors in the production, are both powerhouse vocalists… and breeze through the vocal calisthenics with brilliant tone and clarity.”

The Hunchback of Notre Dame with Riverside Center for the Performing Arts
“Shedd–Thompson as Esmeralda introduces a needed softness and compassion to the show. Her rendering of ‘God Help the Outcasts’ is a moving prayer for all who feel marginalized by society.”
-Emily Jennings, The Freelance Star
“The men in this play revolve around the mesmerizing Esmeralda, played by Candice Shedd-Thompson, whose vocals alone are worth the ticket price.”
-Julia Amis, DC Metro Theater Arts
