”Sara Sommerfeld shines as Hugos wife, Jessica. During the first act she is a buxom bimbo, a flirty Modesty Blaise cousine. It’s hilarious”
/SvD for Saras performance in Smutsiga händer by Sartre
”Full of sharp lines, some sort of darkness on the inside, and the best sung ballad.”
/Expressen for Saras performance as Rizzo in Grease
