Beauty and the Beast (Arts Club)
"Is it too much of a cliché to say that her voice is like sunshine? Probably, but it is that warm and uplifting, dang it. And Bardach hits the character’s sweet spot: she allows Belle to be confident and assertive without ever turning her sour."
-Colin Thomas, colinthomas.ca
"new to the show and absolutely delightful is Michelle Bardach as Belle. Bardach is non-stop sparkle, and her voice – speaking or singing – has a smile in it. ...Bardach’s big number is “A Change In Me” which she delivers with heart-melting soulfulness..."
-Jo Ledingham, joledingham.com
"It's hard to keep your eyes off the talented Michelle Bardach, who plays Belle. Stealing the show with her sweet and powerful voice, her acting chops are also top notch."
-Katie Gartland-Close, Vancouver Presents
"As per usual, her elegancy, poise, and warming stage presence made her the perfect fit for Belle."
-Alyson Eng, Broadway World
"When Bardach sings “A Change in Me”, she all but blows the roof off with her tremendous soprano belt, but it’s her character development that brings sincerity to the song.."
- Vincent Kanasoot, The Georgia Straight
"Bardach brings an aw-shucks girl-next-door vitality and impressive vocal chops to the role."
-Shawn Conner, The Vancouver Sun
"Michelle Bardach as Belle has a lovely voice and captures the character’s demeanour: thoughtful, pretty, and pleasant—a classic Disney princess."
-Connal McNamara, Vancouver Weekly
Mamma Mia (Arts Club)
"As the first member of the cast to enter the stage and one of the last to leave, her performance tied the entire show together. Bardach's impeccable vocals and genuine connection with her on-stage mother Donna (Stephanie Roth) and fiancé Sky (Stuart Barkley) made her performance memorable and worthy of a standing ovation."
-Alyson Eng, Broadway World
"Michelle Bardach delivers a refreshing portrayal of young bride Sophie, offering an impressive voice that can belt when needed and switch to a beautifully resonating head voice at other times."

- Colin Thomas, theatre critic
"Michelle Bardach, who plays Sophie Sheridan is a vision! Her voice and energy are beyond compare."
-Maira Hassan, The Vancouver Arts Review
"Bardach, as Sophie, is sweet, fresh and dimpled. Roth’s Donna is smart and resilient but cautious about love. Together, Bardach and Roth make a great team, both able to tease or belt a song out."
- Jo Ledingham, theatre critic
