“Her versatility - effortless switches from demure soprano to mischevious vamp, raunchy rocker and back again - showcases a voice that can be clear and soaring, purring and growling the next"
Billy Suter - The Mercury
“Exceptional is the singing by Growltiger and Griddlebone, played by Robert Finlayson and Anne-Marie Clulow, during their duet in Growltiger’s Last Stand. Their singing finally makes you feel like you are listening to something very special being performed by consummate professionals"
Astrid Stark - Cape Times
"Anne-Marie Clulow for me gave an award winning performance as the Beggar Lady"
Chris Avant-Smith - B-Sharp Entertainment
"Because the rest of the company (with special mention of Jooste, Clulow and Van Rensburg) perform at peak that they act as the perfect foil for the barber and the baker in this particular tale"

Excerpt from the interview with Steven Stead, director (interview with Billy Suter)
"Tell me a little more about your Chicago – is it likely to be closer in style to the film or the Broadway version? Also, what surprises, if any?
We are going back to the original intention of creating a vaudeville entertainment with burlesque tones, so it will be a whole lot more textured than the austere and modern Broadway revival version. But obviously there are nods to the movie, and to Bob Fosse.
Surprises? Well, I have cast a woman (Anne-Marie Clulow) as Mary Sunshine, the ‘sob sister’ reporter. She has a surprise or two up her… sleeve. And for a change we will hear her song sung beautifully, in the style of Jeanette MacDonald, with a sequence to match, rather than the ear splitting caterwauling of a male falsetto. Other surprises…come and see!"
