Into the Breeches at Florida Repertory Theatre

"When the main character Maggie Dalton, played brilliantly by Amy Hutchins, sees her husband Andrew deployed overseas, she is left to run the Oberan Playhouse without his input and direction." - Dave Elias, NBC-2

A Child's Christmas in Wales at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey

"Director Monte gets superb performances from everyone in the play. Among the best were Isaac Hickox-Young as a lovable Dylan Thomas,  Amy Hutchins as Bessie,  Jeff McCarthy as Dylan’s dad,  Kristen Kittel as Hannah,  Courtney McGowan as Brenda, and Tina Stafford as Dylan’s mom." - Bruce Chadwick, New Jersey Stage

25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee at ACT of CT

"As for the big voices Amy Hutchins' as judge and hostess can do a show on her own with her crystal clear soprano numbers." - Joanne Greco Rochman, The Ridgefield Press

"Standouts from this truly excellent cast include Amy Hutchins as Rona Lisa Peretti. Her hilarious delivery of each quip is challenging to keep up, yet she does so over and over.  She is a lovely performer." - Elizabeth Young, The Newtown Bee

"From the moment Rona Lisa Peretti (excellently played by Amy Hutchins), the real estate agent who is conducting the spelling bee and a former spelling bee winner herself, leads the opening number, one immediately feels that this show is in very good hands." - Zander Opper, Talkin' Broadway

"Amy Hutchins, as a former spelling bee champ, is a delight whose enthusiasm for the Bee proves infectious." - Tom Holehan, Connecticut Critics Circle

"The I Love You Song, is the most emotionally moving song... beautifully and authentically performed by Morgan Billings Smith, Amy Hutchins, and Ryan Williams... Much of the humor comes from the hosts/referees of the spelling bee, who are brilliantly played by Amy Hutchins and John C. Baker." - Sean Fallon, Broadway World

Richard II at Orlando Shakes

"Amy Hutchins, a newcomer to the Orlando Shakes stage, makes a strong debut as Bolingbroke. Her face and delivery maintain a clarity of purpose throughout the performance — Bolingbroke fights for justice in avenging her father’s death." - Matthew J. Palm, The Orlando Sentinel   

Outside Mullingar  at Shaker Bridge Theatre

"Amy Hutchins is a perfect foil for Anthony, as Rosemary convinced me that she had enough strength, temper, and willpower to take over the production at any moment ... Her quick wit, combined with a nicotine habit and a desire to find happiness are employed in comedic and deeply touching moments." - Charlie McMeekin, The Herald

"The acting is outstanding and strikes right to the bone.  Hutchins's Rosemary is rough, tough, and outspoken." - Susan B. Apel, Daily UV

"Amy Hutchins ... gives a fierce performance as Rosemary, feisty but never shrill, vulnerable around the edges but solid and grounded where Anthony is flimsy and flighty. "  -Sarah Earle, Valley News

Constellations at Shaker Bridge Theatre

"The deft actors, Amy Hutchins and Michael Stewart Allen, bring a palpable humanity to the roles ... making it easy to empathize and feel as if we know them ... Coons’ direction brings a natural and organic feel to the frequent scene replays. His empty stage is a study in simplicity, keeping all eyes on Hutchins and Allen as they tumble and twist into new configurations during the momentary blackouts, recalling a choreographed gymnastics floor routine as they shift to new corners of the playing space for each new iteration... the actors are so skilled that these moments carry their own interest, and offer the pleasure that one finds in watching a virtuoso.
"  - Samantha Lazar, Valley News

Midsummer Night's Dream at NY Classical Theatre

"Titania (Amy Hutchins), queen of the fairies, slumbered beneath a tree in Nelson A. Rockefeller Park... When she arose, wearing a crown of brambles and a gown the colors of the sea, small children were among the passers-by who stopped to watch rapt with attention."  -Laura Collins-Hughes, The New York Times

"The most praise anyone can ever give the performers playing Theseus and Hippolyta is that they don’t remotely resemble Oberon and Titania when they double in those roles. That compliment is gladly and easily given to Clay Storseth and Amy Hutchins." - Peter Felichia, BroadwaySelect.com

One Man, Two Guvnors at Florida Studio Theatre

"Hutchins is convincingly dangerous in the woman-disguised-as-a-man role."
-Marty Fugate, The Observer

"Only Roscoe's killer knows he’s dead because his twin sister Rachel (Amy Hutchins, agile and artful) has disguised herself as Roscoe."
-Marie Kilker, Total Theater

"Amy Hutchins plays a set of twins in one of the play’s other more engaging performances. She pays Rachel, who masquerades as her presumably dead brother while trying to safely reunite with her lover, Stanley."
-Jay Handelman, Herald-Tribune

Wait Until Dark at The Public Theatre of Maine

"First on the list is Hutchins, who has studied the ways of recently blinded people (her character is sightless from an accident that occurred 18 months prior to the time of the play) and gives a credible physical performance. She also makes Susan someone to root for because of her intelligence and resourcefulness. As her girlish laughter gives way to tough talk, she remains likable as a person very able to move beyond her self doubts (and ultimately to save the day)."
-Steve Feeney, Portland Herald Press

"Amy Hutchins as the blind, but resourceful Susan, gives a powerful performance, never descending into self-pity or melodramatics, she allows the audience to feel her abject terror as well as her great inner strength."
-Carla Maria Verdino-Süllwold, Broadway World Review

"Amy Hutchins, as Susan, wins the audience’s admiration through her character’s persistence — as well as her own ability on stage — in becoming that strong sightless woman. Hutchins has played the role previously in a production of the original version written by Frederick Knott in 1966. This adaptation, done a few years ago by Jeffrey Hatcher, changes the setting to the film noir era of 1944 for more suspenseful effect."
​-David A. Sargent, Sun Journal

Taming of the Shrew at New York Classical Theatre

"Amy Hutchins and Maxon Davis were fantastic in the lead roles of Kate and Petruchio."
-Meagan Meehan, AXS

"As Katherine, the perfectly cast Amy Hutchins executed beautifully the transition from angry resentment to dawning love for an equally straight-dealing and robustly good-looking Petruchio (Maxon Davies)."
-Minor Critics

How the World Began at Shaker Bridge Theatre

"Amy Hutchins, as Susan Pierce, is tough-minded and intelligent, but you see the fear behind her defensive facade as she realizes that she is in over her head. She’s such a verbal creature that the more dire her situation, the more she brandishes words as her weapon."
-Nicola Smith, Valley News

"Susan, portrayed with just the right amount of edge by Amy Hutchins, has her own reasons for moving to Plainview, but holds herself apart from its smells, sounds, and homey rituals."
-Susan Apel, The Upper Valley

Wait Until Dark at Arkansas Rep

"Rep veteran Amy Hutchins imbues Susy with a fluttery anxiety that transmutes into fierce resolve as the plot develops. We're told that Susy has only lost her sight about a year ago, and Hutchins makes her clumsiness painful for the audience to watch. She fumbles with the phone, gropes for dropped objects on her hands and knees, and stumbles repeatedly over the same end table as she hurries through the confines of her living room."
-Benjamin Hardy, Arkansas Times

"One of the most interesting things about Wait Until Dark is the detail of Susy’s blindness, because not only is Hutchins’ handling of her character masterful, but Susy’s lack of sight is both an obstacle and an advantage at times. And one of the advantages of seeing this story unfold onstage rather than on screen is that the intimacy of The Rep’s stage takes the audience right there with Susy through her struggle. Every breath, every step, every struck match — we can hear, smell and feel the tension that Susy and her three foes create."
-Stephanie Maxwell, Sync Weekly

"You watch as three villains slime their way into the home of a blind woman, a part not easily undertaken, but Amy Hutchins in the role makes it look easy.  You silently cheer for her throughout the entire show, but by the end, you almost find yourself urging “c’mon, c’mon, c’mon” under your breath."
-Jess Ardrey, Little Rock Soirée

"Amy Hutchins is quite believable as a blind woman who can take care of herself, even as she trips and stumbles navigating the basement Greenwich Village apartment where she and her husband live."
-Jack W. Hill, Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Bedroom Farce at Florida Repertory Theatre

"Malcolm (an energetic Jason Parrish) and Kate (an effervescent Amy Hutchins) are having a party..."
-Chris Silk, Naples Daily News

"Special kudos to two talented actors making their Florida Rep. debuts Amy Hutchins (Kate) and Eric Mendenhall."
-Marsha Wagner, Sanibel-Captiva Islander

"Mr. Parrish and Ms. Hutchins are totally believable as the young pair.  Ms. Hutchins' Kate is sweet and anxious to please, constantly shoring up her husband's ego..."
-Nancy Stetson, Florida Weekly

Dividing the Estate at People's Light & Theatre Company

"Standouts include. . .Amy Hutchins as the schoolteacher Pauline has a wide-eyed enthusiasm and touching innocence that is all the more effective as her innocuous questions reveal the Gordon family's near-total obliviousness to the wider world that's pulling them down"
-Anders Back, The Daily Local

"Watch Hutchins’ facial expressions throughout the show. She did a great job portraying the panic and shock of an outsider witnessing this crazed family situation, while still attempting to smooth things over and lighten up the conversations. She works hard to be accepted by the family, all of whom are too self-centered to give her the time of day."
-Nikki Kruger, Montgomery News

"Amy Hutchins lets us see the hints of frustration and resolve lurking beneath Pauline, Son’s fiancée."
-Michael Schwartz, Stage (the featured blog of the Times Herald)

"He's engaged to an earnest school teacher (Amy Hutchins) whose presence during the whole family's get-together is hilarious"
-Margie Royal, County Press

The Foreigner at The Festival Stage of Winston-Salem

"In contrast, Amy Hutchins plays the guest, Catherine Simms, with a seething anger only a Southern debutante who has succumbed to  the charms of a ruthless redneck can understand."
-Leigh Somerville McMillan, The Winston-Salem Journal

Twelfth Night at The Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey

"Elena Shaddow (Olivia) and Amy Hutchins (Viola) play off one another delightfully, each capturing both the humor and emotional currents of her respective role."
-Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

"This is a "Twelfth Night" in which the wonderfully well-cast women are brought to the fore, one in which the hopeless love of Olivia (Elena Shaddow) for Viola (Amy Hutchins) is neither ludicrous nor lascivious but deeply poignant...I've seen funnier "Twelfth Nights," but none more romantic—or touching."
-Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

"Hutchins is walking a tightrope as Cesario, trying to hold her love for Orsino back from anyone's sight while eluding Olivia's nascent embraces, and curbing her womanly impulses that seem to erupt unbidden when she's most supposed to be manly. Delicious!"
-Sherri Rase, QOnStage.com

"Amy Hutchins brings a quiet confidence to the role of Viola/Cesario."
-Allen Crossett, Recorder Community Newspapers

"This comedy of mistaken identity begins with the shipwreck of Viola, played with great passion by Amy Hutchins..."
-Mike Kellerman, Out in Jersey

It's a Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play at Arkansas Repertory Theatre

"Hutchins works beautifully with Thelin, who plays Laurents and George Bailey. They expertly keep their “lover's spat” from the pre-show improvisation alive as they slam doors, honk horns and crunch “snow” with packets of corn starch. By the end of the production, they manage a reconciliation that adds one more heartwarming layer to the famous final scene."
-Shelle Stormoe, Arkansas Times

"Amy Hutchins sweetly portrays the girl and then the woman who falls in love with hard-working George."
-Jack W. Hill, Arkansas Democrat Gazette

Cymbeline at American Players Theatre

"There are two reasons to like the APT's production:  Amy Hutchins' radiant portrayal of Imogen, the princess, is compelling in its feverish romantic intensity. Although few women are as beautiful as this Imogen, Hutchins' lack of self-consciousness humanizes the regal character and gives her a recognizable universality..."
-Damien Jaques, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

"Amy Hutchins was flawless as the heroine Imogen.  Shakespeare’s lines roll off her tongue like music. She is beautiful,  graceful, playful and spunky..."
- Julie McHale, TimeOut 

Othello at American Players Theatre

"Newcomer Amy Hutchins achieves the right balance of naïveté and nobility in her portrayal of Desdemona, and her scenes with Arnold in Act V, just before the play's horrific end, are absolutely haunting. Desdemona suspects what is to come, and the song she sings in her bedchamber leaves the audience chilled. Hutchins performs well in what can be a very difficult role."
-Laura Williams, TimeOut

"As the doomed paragon of virtue, Amy Hutchins...shining with love and optimism, she is innocent without being insipid. The dialogue in which she and Emilia ponder the cruelties of men is among the play's most poignant."
-Amanda Henry, Wisconsin State Journal

"As Desdemona, Hutchins paints a lovely portrait of a woman of character unjustly wronged." 
-Michael Muckian, The Capital Times
