"Rachel has a destiny among the stars if she continues to press ahead; her vocal control, power, and connectedness was as good as it gets in the 11 o'clock number "Get Out and Stay Out,"..... [It] was possibly the most important number in the aesthetic of the show, the plot line, the character, and the actress -- the realization that this girl's got a future!"
- Holly Reed, The Column Online
"Poole's Judy, originally played by Jane Fonda in the film, was truly a joy. Poole quite literally sung the house down in her 'Get Out and Stay Out.' Her voice is a powerhouse to say the least."
-Victoria Lee, Broadway World

Cheryl
Jubilee Theatre, TX
"Poole was the creative standout for this viewer, with a deceptively ingratiating air about her character that is at once stoic, tragically vulnerable, and appropriately funny."
- Richard Oliver, Theatre Jones
"Rachel Poole is the shiny spot on stage with her portrayal of Cheryl, the daughter of the Levay family's longtime servant..."
"I recently saw Ms. Poole as Lourdes in 'Luna Gale' and I am so happy to see her in a much larger and more demanding role here."
"...When [the plot twist] is revealed, Rachel floods the stage with emotion and pulls the audience right in there with her. Dazzling."
- Richard P. Buswold, The Column Online

Luna Gale
Lourdes
Circle Theatre, TX
"And [Karlie and Peter's] story is only one of 90 in Caroline's case load: She's also trying to make sure that Lourdes (TCU's Rachel Poole in a vivid performance), an 18-year-old who's aging out of foster care, won't stumble as she heads for college and the world."
- Jan Farrington, Theatre Jones

"Comedically, Sophomore Theatre TCU student Rachel Poole was a crowd favorite. Hilarious physicality and vocals combined with her timely acting abilities had the audience laughing at her mere presence onstage."
- Audrey Morabito, Broadway World
