EVITA

“The best female singer on stage is Stephanie Barnum, who plays the role as Juan Peron's unnamed mistress. Barnum, who has performed in the Bay Area with the Pleasanton Playhouse and Diablo Light Opera Company, displays an effortless, clear soprano in the sorrowful ballard ‘Another Suitcase in Another Hall. ’”

“My favorite piece of the night was 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall', sung by Peron's mistress, played by Stephanie Barnum. She captured the pathos of someone who knows full well that she will never rise in rank above "the other woman," yet who hopes to maintain some sort of hold over her lover. Barnum nabbed all of the doomed emotion of the role and cloaked it into a sort of second-fiddle dignity, no mean feat.”

Barnum.... Her musical number, 'Another Suitcase in Another Hall' was the
most moving and sympathetic performance of the show, thanks to Barnum's
straightforward delivery of the vulnerable character.”

“Worthy of special mention is Stephanie Barnum as Peron's discarded mistress.
(Her song) tells us all we need to know about her vulnerability and confusion
when Eva unceremoniously replaces her in Peron's bed.”
