What people are saying.

  • “I have never had the opportunity to see an actor/actress span an age from 16 to 34 as successfully as (Rachel) did in this show.  I am sure that it became even more difficult after a month and a half at nine performances per week! We look forward to following (her) very promising career”

    -Alhambra Theatre Patron

  • "Rachel is just such an absolutely wonderful performer and better person. She is such a joy to work with."

    -Aaron Wargo, Corn Stock Theatre

  • “Rachel Ann Kocher offers a memorable performance in her role as Carole King and in many ways seems born to play the role and brought it to life with her portrayal [...] she showcases her versatility and multiple talents every day. Kocher was one of many beautiful voices that took to the stage to help bring the performance to life”

    — Anthony Richards, The Recorder

  • "Rachel Kocher was MADE to be Elle... don't miss the chance to see her absolutely shine"

    -Devyn Farney, Corn Stock Theatre

  • "Rachel Ann Kocher eases into the role of Carole King with such lived-in charm that it’s easy to forget she’s acting. Her voice is sweet and earthy, and in songs like So Far Away and Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow she radiates warmth, vulnerability and grit. Her performance hits a high point in One Fine Day — raw, guttural and aching — and again in It’s Too Late, a time-traveling moment that briefly suspends the audience in the early ’70s."

    — Ray Hollister, Jaxplays

  • “Ms. Kocher has the challenge of portraying Carole from 16-year-old college student through her transition as a behind-the-scenes writer to a successful performing singer-songwriter. She does this with poise and grace, and a voice very reminiscent of Ms. King.”

    —Cessy Newmon, Folio Weekly

  • " I’ve been able to watch Rachel Kocher grow from a little kid to a true star. She is a delight to watch on stage as Elle Woods and I hope everyone gets a chance to see her in Legally Blonde"

    -Suzan Hazzard, Corn Stock Theatre
