"...the lovely and supremely likeable Shannon Warne is a marvellously spunky Milly. Warne has just the right voice for musical theatre.

Camelot
"At Philadelphia's Opening Night, the role (of Guenevere) was played by understudy Shannon Warne, who did not disappoint in capturing the audience with a soaring, solid voice and is a delightful confident young maiden. Warne’s "Simple Joys of Maidenhood" sets the tone for a consistent and quality-performance." -- Pati Buehler, Broadway World.com
"(Shannon Warne) handled the role with grace, giving the queen an insouciance nicely balanced by intelligence." -- Wendy Rosenfield, Philadelphia Inquirer
"Rachel York ... was replaced by understudy Shannon Warne, who amazed me with a crystalline voice in the Julie Andrews tradition.
