“Her duet with Lachlann Lawton’s Wolf is a standout moment; Lawton also plays one of two amorous princes (the other is Joshua Firman) and both are a scream — especially in their giddy, swoony-silly, cri de coeur ‘Agony.’”
— The Age, on Into the Woods

“Her interplay with Prince Charming — baritone Lachlann Lawton morphing to comic opera tenor, full of vim and vigour.”
– The West Australian, Into the Woods

“Sweet as cutie pie cutting a caper with Lawton as the Wolf — a charming yet cunning doppelganger of his kilted Celtic prince.”
– The West Australian, Into the Woods

“Lachlann Lawton’s Anthony Hope is bright‑eyed and bushy‑tailed; his infatuation with Johanna … is palpable, and the longing in his voice feels real.”
— Scenestr

“A particular highlight of the show was … ‘Johanna’ with beautiful dual singing from Mingay and Lachlann Lawton (Anthony).”
— Australian Stage Online

“Lachlann Lawton brings loyalty and naivete to his representation of Anthony Hope, a young man who befriends Sweeney Todd … He then unknowingly falls for Todd’s daughter …”
