walkerspace (New York, NY)
"Wolff is excellent as Anna, at times walking around in a daze, then coming sharply into focus, trapped physically and mentally in the past."
Mark Rifkin | This Week in New York
"[Melissa Wolff's] performance is a brilliant mix of peaceful moments and desperate struggles as she tries to hold herself together in the wake of a tragic fire. Her quiet, engaging humor betrays real emotional depth."

Memorial Days

"The charismatic Melissa Wolff."

Embers
Off Broadway
"Faring best among the play's supporting players is Melissa Wolff as Dede, a once-aspiring photographer who signs on as Nevelson's studio assistant and aide-de-camp. When Wolff's character emerges years later minus her own career and sense of identity, you are able to identify with the ambivalence, and occasional outright rages, of a woman who is equal parts nurturer and ambitious sycophant."

"There's only one other character [other than Tovah Feldshuh] in the play, a maid named Marianne, gracefully played by Melissa Wolff."
Aileen Jacobson | Newsday
Wit
Mill Mountain Theatre (Roanoke, VA)
