Camelot
Trinity Repertory Company
“As Guenevere, Gibel gives us a royal we can respect, from her initial girlish foolishness to her fateful, passionate weakness years later. Whether singing the demurely bawdy Lusty Month of May, or the soft, soulful Before I Gaze At You Again, she keeps us riveted.”
--The Boston Phoenix
“[Rebecca Gibel’s] voice added just what was needed for a jazzy arrangement of The Lusty Month of May. As things became serious between her and Lancelot, you could see the joy go out of her face as she wrestled with her dilemma.”
--The Providence Journal
“As Guenevere, Rebecca Gibel is a revelation. Winsome and strong, sweet and sexy."
--WRNI, Rhode Island NPR
"Rebecca Gibel as Guenevere looks and sings like true royalty. She's very funny, and emotes like woman truly tortured by love."
--The Sun Chronicle
"Rebecca Gibel, is a beacon of light. Her effortless beauty and strong voice aid her character in a multitude of ways."
--WBRU.News
"...the love triangle at the center of Trinity Rep’s Camelot is embodied by three lively and quick-witted performers: Stephen Thorne as Arthur; Rebecca Gibel as his queen, Guenevere; and Joe Wilson Jr. as Sir Lancelot"
--The Boston Globe
Social Creatures
Trinity Repertory Company
"Is she [Gibel] deranged by grief, or is there something else going on? Gibel has fun in the ambiguous space in between, playing Mrs. Smith as a blend of Ophelia (in the mad scene) and Carrie (in the prom scene.) It all culminates in an uproariously bloody episode that is both the high point of "Social Creatures" and the cause of a distinct pang..."
--The Boston Globe
"I must admit, I never thought Rebecca Gibel would be the stuff of nightmares, but in this play, she is."
--630WPRO
"Ms. Gibel delivers a deliciously disturbed performance."
--The Theatre Mirror
"Mrs. Smith....is played expertly by Rebecca Gibel. The scene in which her character begins fracturing emotionally is a high point for Gibel, who launches effortlessly into a tirade of nonsensical dialogue while writhing on the floor. Later, when she is locked away with Mr. Brown, she dominates ensuing scenes with her antics, which terrorize him and delight the audience."

Boeing, Boeing

"Rebecca Gibel's squealing American vixen, Gloria, ...probably delivered the most bodaciously randy female performance I've ever seen."

"Rebecca Gibel as Gloria is a firecracker, a real laugh-riot"
--Providence Journal
"...funny as hell"

Cat on a Hot Tin Roof
Aurora Fox Arts Center
“The play begins and ends on Gibel’s shoulders…. Gibel’s
performance announces the arrival of a promising dramatic leading lady. As cats go, Gibel is a Persian in
heat. She’s gorgeous and sultry,
effectively conveying the sexual frustration of a trophy wife with no identity
beyond an uninterested husband….
There’s nothing sadder than when Gibel’s Maggie says, ‘Living with
someone you love can be lonelier than living alone – if the one you love
doesn’t love you.’”
--The Denver Post
"It is imperative Maggie the Cat sizzle with a smoldering desperate rage slightly buried under a veneer of smiling calculated pleas for attention from husband Brick. Rebecca Gibel does not disappoint..... From the moment she slithers onto stage in trumped up frustration over her sister in law’s “no neck monsters” because one of the unruly children spilled juice on her dress, Gibel surrounds herself with a Maggie she owns."

The Importance of Being Earnest
Trinity Repertory Company
“The two pleasant surprises in the show....were Rebecca Gibel and Karl Gregory.… Gibel more than held her own as the winsome Cecily…. Perhaps the most amusing moment in the play is when the two women (Cecily and Gwendolyn) discover they are both engaged to the same man. Angela Brazil’s Gwendolen and Rebecca Gibel as Cecily go at one another in a battle of angry stares and insults.”
--The Providence Journal
“In her Trinity debut, Rebecca Gibel carefully matches her fellow actors’ tone and level; giving what appears to be an effortless performance as the virtuous Cecily.”
--BroadwayWorld.com
“The three debut performances in this production are all worthy of mention and leave us only wanting to see more of them.…Gibel’s performance is bold, as well as graceful.”
--EDGE New England
"Not without mention is Rebecca Gibel as Cecily. She remarkably captures the youth of the young girl but makes her innocence genuine instead of vapid. ...wonderful to see on stage."

A Doll's House
The Gamm Theatre
"Rebecca Gibel, who was such a memorable Guenevere in Trinity Rep's "Camelot," stood out as Nora's childhood friend, Kristine Linde. She's natural as can be in the role, bringing lots of shading to her lines."
--The Providence Journal
"Rebecca Gibel also deserves mention as Nora's friend, Kristine. It is a fine and shaded performance, both bitter and hopeful."
--Rhode Island Monthly
"Gibel's pained portrayal of Kristine is genuine and noteworthy."
--EDGE Boston
"Rebecca is excellent in this role displaying many layers as this woman. She makes a dynamic debut at Gamm, having previously played Guinevere in "Camelot" at Trinity Rep."
--The Theatre Mirror
