Demeter in CATS - Fighting Chance Productions

"There's talent all over the stage, including: ... Kyrst Hogan (Demeter) and Shayna Holmes (Bombalurina) in the torchy 'Macavity: The Mystery Cat'
Colin Thomas - The Georgia Straight

"Other stand-outs include Kyrst Hogan and Shayna Holmes in the bluesy duet 'Macavity: The Mystery Cat' that transforms into one of evening's most exciting ensemble numbers."
Mark Robins - Vancouver Presents

"Standouts included...the sassy Demeter (Kyrst Hogan)"
Cassady Ranford - VanCity Buzz

"Kyrst Hogan (Demeter) and Shayna Holmes (Bombalurina) are slick in their duet about Macavity..."

	Jesus Christ Superstar - Producer's Club 2, NYC "...wonderful moments on the part of Hogan's snotty Caiaphas." - Marlon Hurt, Off-Off Online

"Twelfth Night" New Harmony Theatre
Kyrst Hogan as Feste with Mark Moritz and Larry Gleason

"...Kyrst Hogan’s wry, spry portrayal of Feste, whose official role as court fool makes him the wisest guy on the island. Hogan intoned the playful tenor of the comedy and the silky sarcasm of her character in the half-dozen songs interspersed throughout the story."

Roger McBain - Evansville Courier and Press

Jolson-A Vaudeville
(Pelican Theatre, NYC)

"Kyrst Hogan proved to be both a shapely showgirl
and a versatile actress. "

Gypsy Rose Lee at Minsky's Burlesque - The Cultch Theatre, Vancouver Fringe Festival
(performing as Burgundy Brixx)

Burgundy Brixx is more than up to the task in her fine portrayal of the legendary Seattle-born intellectual striptease artist letting us in on the private thoughts of a stripteaser all the while teasing her way out of several absolutely thrilling costumes.
Maryth Gilroy – Plank Magazine

“Burgundy Brixx, charmingly radiant as Gypsy Rose Lee, revealed to us that sex is the last thought going through a stripper’s mind—a confession we found hard to swallow as we watched her libidinously move her limbs.”
Sandra O'Connell - The Province

42nd Street - Maggie Jones
Broadway On The Boardwalk - Trump Plaza Casino, Atlantic City

"Kyrst Hogan is a scene stealer as the second banana who gets the best lines.
Her down-to-earth songwriter, Maggie, is reminiscent of Eve Arden."
