What New York says about her:
"Ms. Davito possesses a passion for, and commitment
to live theatre that not many New York actors can claim. Her experience
in both academic and public productions is clear in her professionalism,
creativity and reliability. With her command of language and music,
her comic timing and physical presence, she has a range of ability which
she clearly brings to her character work. She is an asset to any cast,
bringing those around her into the world of her own standards - which
are high - and striving to exceed her own potential expectations. A
very talented actress/singer, I see big things for Ms. Davito in the
future."

"Melissa (Liz Davito), the polite powerhouse"
"As Melissa, Liz Davito is hilarious. In her video
montages and on-the-spot musical performances ("I Am a Flower" in particular).
Her comic timing is what the doctor ordered. Her out-of-place seriousness
of tone recalls the invocations of actors in self-help infomercials
and Herpes medicines television spots."
"... everybody contributing to this evening is in
top form. The actors I haven't yet mentioned include Liz Davito...terrific
in multiple roles..."
"Liz is like an ice cream sundae, a lullaby, and
a hit of X all at once!"

What New York says about her shows:
"The combination of all these elements makes OEDIrx
one of the most curious things you can see on the New York circuit:
a bold, boundary pushing work that is as joyously far from Broadway
as it gets (while still being theater). Don't let the chaos fool you:
this is professional theater, and I hope to see Anonymous Ensemble top
The Oedi Cycle with whatever they take on next."
"TOSOS II is truly an amazing theatre company. The
cast is terrific, the direction is spot-on, there were so many clever
touches in design and staging -- talent in every corner. This was one
of the best productions I've ever had."

"hyper-stimulating hullabaloo"
"OEDI@:us is an incredible fusion of three separate
and distinct mediums. OEDI@:us, designed to entertain preadults and
nontheatergoers, combines rock music and political rebellion to tackle
longstanding points of contention the events of September 11, 2001 realized.
Utilizing the power of theater, music, and electronic media, OEDI@:us—one
part Web broadcast, one part theater, one part rock concert, infinite
parts entertainment—addresses survival, power, and omnipresence in the
wake of constant and interrelated threats of cultural globalization,
global domination and militarization, and technological advancement.
OEDI@:us, the second installment of a two-part "The Best" series, is
made with the recipe for success."
"Damn. While everybody's been sitting around reviving
old plays and dicking around with flaccid new ones, Anonymous Ensemble
went out, took one of the oldest plays out there (Oedipus Rex) and made
it one of the freshest, most original ones around. Trippy multimedia
punk rock burlesque dance show and a stiltwalking emcee, OEDIrx has
the unmistakably vibrant feel of youth and the unstoppable passion of
inspiration."
"...New York theatre that is...timely, quality, innovative,
committed, passionate..."
"There may be a sweller way to pass an hour on a
Tuesday night this fall than at Eisenstein's Monster at the Duplex,
but I wouldn't bet on it. This blissful and often touching program of
six very short and very grown-up plays and monologues about love and
desire by Linda Eisenstein is one of the sweetest and most rewarding
evenings of theatre in recent memory; it's also a casebook on how to
write and stage for the theatre with economy (in terms of time and money)
and excellence."

"Box of Fools is well on its way to being not just
an okay kids' show but a really extraordinary one...The cast of nine
keeps the energy high and the seriousness quotient close to zero, which
is exactly right..."
