"Chester shines as a singer, belting out Joplin’s tunes with a deep-throat power from the opening notes of “Piece of my Heart”, the first song in the show, you now you’re in for an emotional roller coaster ride, plunging into the deepest misery before being swept up into utter euphoria. Joplin sang with every fiber of her being and became a voice of a generation, ad Chester’s homage to the legend is mostly spot-on, from the way she grips the mic to the way she allows the music to move her on stage, moving seamlessly through “Women is Losers,” “Mercedes Benz,” “Me and Bobby Magee” and others in the Joplin songbook.

–Holly Beretto, Houston Chronicle

"Touring rock singer Katrina Chester throws every molecule of her slinky being into "Piece of My Heart." She doesn't even try to imiate Joplin (who could?), but instead evoke Janis while making each song her own...The slinky Chester is the rockingest actress I've seen play the "singing Janis" role in Randal Myler's musical tribute to Janis Joplin. And I've seen five."

-- Tony Brown, Theater Critic-Cleveland Plain Dealer

“Chester is a singer and an actress; she captures Joplin's no-holds-barred performing style, and her re-creation of the shrieking, unrestrained singing is powerful.”

-- Rick Pender-Cincinnati City Beat

"Chester is an incredible vocalist who sounds so much like the real deal, it's uncanny. She originated the role in the show's off-Broadway production, and her perfectly controlled rock scream does Joplin justice."

-- Kerry Clawson, Akron Beacon Journal
