Kristen Vaughan Lauded as Zelda Fitzgerald in Tennessee Williams play

Kristen Vaughan's portrayal of Zelda Fitzgerald in "Clothes for a Summer Hotel" has once again earned her high praise in the New York theatre community. She "clearly conveys Zelda's blighted passions, both literary and amorous" (Back Stage). Kristen delivers a "stellar performance as Zelda, one that is both heartbreakingly innocent and clear-eyed . . . she sometimes looks remarkably like the real Zelda" (New York Press).

Her pairing with Montgomery Sutton as her lover Edouard (pictured above) is particularly noted in several reviews.

From TheHappiestMedium.com:
"The constant rock of believability as surreal character and broken woman was Vaughan. She brought a foundation of truth within the ethereal planes that was the perfect combination to both believe and get lost in. The chemistry between Vaughan and Sutton really worked, and Sutton brings a warmth and tenderness to his character that gives it other dimensions. Through their scenes we learn more about how deeply this affair touched Zelda, how Sutton’s stance of keeping it an affair by the book effected her mental health, and they were deeply moving."

From BroadwayWorld.com:
"Kristen Vaughan as Zelda Fitzgerald comes the closest to embodying the inherent style of Tennessee Williams' writing. In the spirit of Blanche or Amanda, she finds humor and charm in Zelda and then beautifully couples it with a profound sadness. In "The Great Gatsby," F. Scott Fitzgerald describes the character of Daisy, based on Zelda, as having a 'voice full of money.' This quality is palpable in Ms. Vaughan's performance. She is particularly good when she is coupled with Montgomery Sutton as her lover Edouard."
