"But the real scene stealer is Holly Denton as Oz (short for Ozzy Osbourne). This pint-sized powerhouse has a stagecraft and charisma worthy of Broadway – with a belting voice to match. Her Rock Chick persona never falls with constant attention to her body language, and magnetic facial expressions when she sings. She is impeccable in the rebellious rock numbers and utterly believable in the small moments of love with Brit (Courtney Murphy). Even her electrocution torture is the best by far." - X-Press Magazine
​
"Another performer already known for their vocals is Holly Denton as Oz, and so it’s no surprise to find she also fits her part perfectly." - Broadway World
