Dorothy in Wizard of Oz

Cassie Okenka’s Dorothy is perfect from start to finish, performing with zeal and musical poise. —D. A. Blackburn

Cassie Okenka … is a charming Dorothy —FRANK SCHECK NY Post

Glinda in Wicked

 For the evening, draped in glittering jewels, Okenka was Glinda, elevating the role of a good witch to an absolutely great one. Starting out slowly, it was clear from the start that her theatricality was on point, but her introductory song did not initially show her true range… her powerful Soprano high notes filled the Segerstrom theater. … Overall, the quality of the show surpassed expectations, with the highlight being the pleasant surprise of Okenka and the amazing production put together by the Segerstrom Center for the Arts, and it’s truly a sight to be seen. 

“Cassie Okenka, giving so dazzling and finely-tuned a performance that it seems incredible that she has not been playing the role eight performances a week for months on end. I’ve seen five other Galindas over the past nine years, and Okenka’s is as sensational as it gets, and never more than in her infectiously gleeful “Popular.” Like Roscioli, Okenka’s work grows in depth as Galinda matures into the woman she is to become, and when she and her enemy-turned-bff duet “For Good” … well, I’m tearing up right now just remembering it. “

Nessarose in Wicked

“Okenka possesses a clarion, light-opera voice (a signature for the part, created by Kristin Chenoweth), and she’s in complete control of her astounding instrument. It’s her voice we hear cutting through ensemble scenes, and yet she’s no diva. She makes sarcastic little swoops and deadpan drops, letting go of the golden notes when it’s time to get laughs, especially in her Act 1 showcase, “Popular,” .”

Cathy in The Last Five Years

“Cassie Okenka and Austin Owens bring tremendous vocal ability, strong acting skills, and abundant wit to the downtown theatre with its more intimate space. The Opening Number, “I’m still hurting”, sung by Cathy, is a heart-breaking lament, beautifully sung, that establishes the intriguing plot device as well as Okenka’s strength as an actor and singer.”
