Frankenstein
Rita Harvey (as Elizabeth, the fiancé) has a sweet sound. Her voice is beautiful, very easy on the ears. - Amazon.com

Sweeney Todd
Rita Harvey deploys her silvery soprano (and winning sense of humor) as the damsel in distress. - Chicago Sun Times

Summer and Smoke
Especially notable was soprano Rita Harvey as the young voice pupil, Nellie, who grows into a perfect match for John. Harvey sings with freshness, remarkable flexibility and beauty of tone. - The Des Moines Register

Dearest Enemy
Harvey makes a vivacious Betsy matched in intensity by the mellifluous William Thomas Evans. They have the best love songs, the haunting "Here In My Arms" and pretty "Bye and Bye." Betsy also gets to defend the female stake in war when her sweetheart tries to tell her it only "men's business." - New York Newsday

Street Scene
As Rose Maurrant, Rita Harvey stood out for the sensitivity of her acting, as well as her fine, light soprano, movingly conveying the plight this strong yet sympathetic young woman who refuses to let family tragedy destroy her determination to escape the tenement. - Opera News

Rita Harvey makes a fine impression as the young - though certainly world-wise - Rose Maurrant. She sings with great beauty and conveys a sense of grace to this persevering character. - The Des Moines Register

Broadway to Barbados
A tiny, pixie-like creature with fine, pretty features, Rita opens her mouth and blows her viewers away with her very big voice. Her best performances of the night were as Christine for "The Phantom fo the Opera," with Alex (Santoriello) as the Phantom, and of a lovely song called "Fairytale"... from the score of "Golf: A Musical in 18 Holes." - The Broad Street Journal

Peg O' My Heart
Rita Harvey (a former Christine in Phantom) turns in the best musical performance with her disarmingly strong rendition of "Ethel's Lament, " about bitterness over her unsatisfying relationship with a married man. - Broadway.com

To the role of Marzelline, soprano Rita Harvey offered youthful exuberance and lyrical tone - San Diego Union Tribune
