"... even if Mitchell couldn't carry a tune, she could still carry the whole show. With such strong direction from Gary Yates and Mitchell's ever-versatile sense of showmanship, "His Eye is on the Sparrow" is an effortless show to watch."

"...But in the play, the arc of her life and career -- its high points and the many low ones -- are told with spellbinding musical cadence, another feather in the cap of MetroStage."

Bernardine Mitchell is absolutely divine and her performance may as well be a ministry –she touches people, they leave transformed, mesmerized, and come back for more.
