Phantom - BDT Stage
"Musical-comedy ingenues are usually hard to like — pretty, simpering puppets whose sweet, shy gestures resemble nothing you'd see from an actual breathing woman now that Princess Diana is gone. [Davenport] is not of this ilk, however. Her gestures are pretty, but they're imbued with a glistening sincerity. She has the kind of rich, expressive voice you want to listen to all night, and all the range and musicality this operatic (or at least operetta-ish) score demands. The girl can act, too, with subtlety and feeling: Witness the ambivalence she shows when de Chandon courts her, and her reluctant and ever-growing fascination with the Phantom. This is a dazzling, breakout performance, more than a match for Warren's powerful depiction of the Phantom."
-Juliet Wittman, The Westword
"Warren is supremely matched with the lovely Maggie [Davenport], a Boulder’s Dinner Theatre newcomer who not only is a classically trained soprano but, just as important, exudes nearly as much warmth in her acting. Her Christine treads a bit too close at times to Belle in “Beauty and the Beast,” but [Davenport] bares some unexpected open wounds at key visceral moments, and she will no doubt find more as the run continues into February."
-John Moore, The Denver Post
The Music Man - Town Hall Arts Center
[Davenport's] portrayal of Marian, the Librarian stuns. The term “auditory champagne" gets infused with a brand new effervescence as [Davenport's] soaring soprano delivers the likes of “Til there Was You” and “My White Knight … magnificently!

[Davenport] is confident and assured in both her sex appeal and her command of the situation."

Shrek: the Musical - Colorado Springs Fine Arts Center
"Maggie Davenport, as Fiona, deserves an action figure - spunky and controlling, a tomboy, a rocker and a princess, all under one crown. Her "I Know It's Today" - with a young Fiona (Ella McCauley) and teen Fiona (Arielle Miagkov), both terrific - is among the best moments of the night."
-T.D. Mobley-Martinez, The Gazette
"David Wiens and Maggie Davenport make a marvelous couple; their chemistry is genuine and the kids in the crowd know it... Both have strong acting and singing skills, and those skills are on full display in the rude but endearing tune I Think I Got You Beat... Wiens and Davenport are just like us, despite their polar opposite characters."
- Bill Wheeler, Theater Colorado
