The TheatreMania reviewer wrote: “Settle, as Norma, steals every scene she’s in. The spectacularly bizarre lead-in to her big number, ‘Joy of the Lord,’ is more difficult to pull off than most Shakespearean monologues, and her solo vocals reveal a soulful, oversized gospel range that drives the Holy Spirit straight to the back of the theater.

Settle’s touching performance should go on the shortlist for every Best Featured Actress prize in town.” For this role, Settle was nominated for the Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, and Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical. Additionally, she was awarded the Theatre World Award for Outstanding Broadway or Off-Broadway debut performance during the 2012-13 theatrical season.
