What New York says about her:
“Ms. Davito possesses a passion for, and commitment to live theatre that not many New York actors can claim. Her experience in both academic and public productions is clear in her professionalism, creativity and reliability. With her command of language and music, her comic timing and physical presence, she has a range of ability which she clearly brings to her character work. She is an asset to any cast, bringing those around her into the world of her own standards – which are high – and striving to exceed her own potential expectations. A very talented actress/singer, I see big things for Ms. Davito in the future.”

Review of The Best – Episode OEDIrx
“As Melissa, Liz Davito is hilarious. In her video montages and on-the-spot musical performances (“I Am a Flower” in particular). Her comic timing is what the doctor ordered. Her out-of-place seriousness of tone recalls the invocations of actors in self-help infomercials and Herpes medicines television spots.”

“Liz is like an ice cream sundae, a lullaby, and a hit of X all at once!”

“Liz Davito, as the loopy and possibly perpetually drunk/stoned Dormouse, not only plays a mean guitar and violin but keeps the comic temperature rising with her excellent timing.”

Review of A Wonderland
What New York says about her shows:
“The combination of all these elements makes OEDIrx one of the most curious things you can see on the New York circuit: a bold, boundary pushing work that is as joyously far from Broadway as it gets (while still being theater). Don’t let the chaos fool you: this is professional theater, and I hope to see Anonymous Ensemble top The Oedi Cycle with whatever they take on next.”

Review of The Best – Episode OEDIrx
“TOSOS II is truly an amazing theatre company. The cast is terrific, the direction is spot-on, there were so many clever touches in design and staging — talent in every corner. This was one of the best productions I’ve ever had.”

Article about The Best – Episode El Best
“OEDI@:us is an incredible fusion of three separate and distinct mediums. OEDI@:us, designed to entertain preadults and nontheatergoers, combines rock music and political rebellion to tackle longstanding points of contention the events of September 11, 2001 realized. Utilizing the power of theater, music, and electronic media, OEDI@:us—one part Web broadcast, one part theater, one part rock concert, infinite parts entertainment—addresses survival, power, and omnipresence in the wake of constant and interrelated threats of cultural globalization, global domination and militarization, and technological advancement. OEDI@:us, the second installment of a two-part “The Best” series, is made with the recipe for success.”

review of The Best – Episode OEDI @:us
“Damn. While everybody’s been sitting around reviving old plays and dicking around with flaccid new ones, Anonymous Ensemble went out, took one of the oldest plays out there (Oedipus Rex) and made it one of the freshest, most original ones around. Trippy multimedia punk rock burlesque dance show and a stiltwalking emcee, OEDIrx has the unmistakably vibrant feel of youth and the unstoppable passion of inspiration.”

review of The Best
“There may be a sweller way to pass an hour on a Tuesday night this fall than at Eisenstein’s Monster at the Duplex, but I wouldn’t bet on it. This blissful and often touching program of six very short and very grown-up plays and monologues about love and desire by Linda Eisenstein is one of the sweetest and most rewarding evenings of theatre in recent memory; it’s also a casebook on how to write and stage for the theatre with economy (in terms of time and money) and excellence.”

“Box of Fools is well on its way to being not just an okay kids’ show but a really extraordinary one…The cast of nine keeps the energy high and the seriousness quotient close to zero, which is exactly right…”
