"The most expressive singing came from the wives of Captain MacHeath – Polly Peachum (Julia Elise Hardin) and Lucy Lockit (Sarah Moule)...had voices that complemented the other, as the impassioned and bitterly jealous women sang for MacHeath’s favor. With voices always in motion, their fast, narrow vibratos allowed for a piercing clarity fitting for this music with equally clear text."- Ionarts, 2008
