Caratti’s portrayal of mother grieving over the “idea of how her child would be” comes across so convincingly that at times that you actually dislike her. You wonder how she could be so selfish but as the story goes on and truths are told her actions become easier to swallow and you realise just how strong she’s had to be. What we viewed as disappointment or sorrow is in fact concern and wanting to shelter her daughter from the truth.'- Sydney Scoop The Ritz, Stage 2016: 'Caratti radiates plenty of comic wattage as Googie' - Jason Blake 'Googie Gomez (played wonderfully by Meagan Caratti)' - SameSame 'Meagan Caratti as the indomitable Googie Gomez is a scene stealing show stopper who chews up the dialogue and the scenery and expectorates her English as second language malapropisms in quite the most delightful way.' - sydneyartsguide 'Meagan Caratti was like a Sophia-Vergara-best-of in the role of Googie Gomez that won original cast member Rita Morena a Tony.' - Broadway World 'very funny is Meagan Caratti, who embraces the boisterous tone of the show to deliver some of its biggest laughs. Her passionate commitment is paralleled by an emotional warmth that allows her character Googie to become one of the more believable personalities in this outlandish presentation.' - Suzy Go See 'Me(a)gan Caratti, as Googie, is able to give Rita Moreno a run for the Tony Award' - Director David Marshall-Martin, Gay News Network
