“As Miriam, actress Laura Siner deserves praise for her performance as a bored and garish housewife. At first glance, she exudes the grace and sophistication of Katherine Hepburn, all the while maintaining a level of elitist arrogance. Working with dialogue that is often detached, Siner captures the spirit of Miriam through her highbrow and yet somehow constrained mannerisms. When Miriam literally grabs the barman by his crouch in her last efforts of seduction, we can physically sense her desperation. Other stage actors might carry this scene a bit too far over the top, yet Siner is superb and convincing in the role of a pathetic and materialistic American woman isolated within a foreign land.”
– Ken Lombardi, The Fordham Observer

"This was an intriguing and very well executed production of this Williams piece. I believe he would have liked it himself. I thoroughly enjoyed the performances. They were truthful and subtly nuanced. I especially applaud the credible performance of Laura Siner--very detailed work that was quite funny, arresting, and ultimately tragic. I went right along with her throughout this rocky journey. " -Innovative Theatre Awards Judge

“In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel is a detailed, delicate look at a couple going through the precarious final stages of their marriage. White Horse Theater Company's well-acted, well-directed production hits the emotional highs and lows of that journey, and shows theatergoers yet again that second-rate Williams is better than most other writers' Grade A stuff.”
– Michael Criscuolo, nytheatre.com

“And it’s very funny, too. At least it is in the hands of Laura Siner, as the loud, sexually aggressive, cocktail imbibing American in Japan, and Toshiji Takeshima as the barman who politely absorbs her attentions and rude remarks for most of the first act.”
– Michael Dale, BroadwayWorld.com

“…took the audience on a delightful tale of merriment and mischief…expertly performed by the ensemble cast.”
– Debra C. Argen, Luxury Experience Magazine

“This was perfect Chekhov”
– Louis Lopardi, Artzine

"the show is blessed with excellent actors in its leading male and female roles...Siner really comes through in the scarifying confrontations with Joe that highlight the second act. In these scenes, both actors achieve a level of verisimilitude that's rare and powerful."
– Michael Portantiere, TheaterMania

"Brydon and Siner have formed a bond so strong as Joe and Kirsten that it seems like they're both at the center of the action, even when they're not. You can almost feel Brydon's eyes boring into Siner as Kirsten begs a neighbor for vanilla extract, for example; their work is really that connected"
– Matthew Murray, TalkinBroadway.com

"The cast is first-rate with Mac Brydon and Laura Siner realistically portraying this doomed marriage."
– Tim Steffan, TheatreScene.net

"the hardworking ensemble managed to combine humor and pathos in an engaging and involving way. Laura Siner was intriguingly understated as the robbery victim's sister who's going through some drama of her own."
- Elias Stimac, oobr.com

".presents stellar acting along with an impeccable script to make this a sure fire hit."
- Amanda Scarpone, broadway world.com

"Each of the performers had moments of genius... Laura Siner's hilarious turns as a nosy neighbor and over-ambitious police officer"
– Doug DeVita, Off-Off Broadway Review
