"HAIRSPRAY" The Musical (Broadway)

 

"The boundary-breaking Tracy is now played by Carly Jibson, in her Broadway debut. She exudes a bright zeal and conviction that rivals that of her Tony-winning predecessor, Marissa Jaret Winokur. Ms. Jibson, who is 19, combines the nubile glow of adolescence with the confidence of an old pro. When this Tracy sings of her devotion to the local teen idol, Link Larkin (Richard H. Blake), she elicits the sound of popping hormones from Marc Shaiman and Scott Wittman's heartfelt pastiche ballads."

"CRY BABY" The Musical (Broadway)

 

"But it's two featured actors who stand out - Chester Gregory II and Carly Jibson, as soulful sidekick and nasty knocked-up sister of Cry-Baby. They bring big talent and oddball originality to the stage - precisely what this baby needed more of."

"FAT CAMP" The Musical (Off Broadway)

 

"Ms. Jibson, who played Tracy Turnblad on Broadway in “Hairspray,” impresses most with her powerhouse belt and mighty range. She’s a lively presence when she’s not singing too, because her vampy character has a bit more zest than most of the others."

-Charles Isherwood The New York Times 

 

"Thankfully, though, the cast in this production is stellar, most notably Carly Jibson, who brings such an infectious comedic energy to every scene she's in! And her voice is phe-no-me-nal! She may not be the lead in the show, but she certainly steals Fat Camp! We see a bright future for her in sitcoms!"

"SCREAM" The Musical (The Rockwell)

 

"However, the song that brought down the house was performed by Carly Jibson (playing a Screamette) to the classic Boyz II Men song, “I’ll Make Love to You.” As she casually leans against a pillar, the audience was completely floored by her amazing stylistic choices and rough, gutsy belt; an obviously professional performer."
