“Libby Baker is exceptional as Marla, a woman who thinks she has it all under control but really doesn’t. ” – Joe Straw #9

“One of the hits of the 2018 Dances With Films festival, Silicon Beach is complex and visually stunning” – Crimson Kimono

“Silicon Beach is a well-made movie with interesting characters… the acting is in top form and the final twenty minutes are well worth it.” – Film Threat

“Brothers (Libby Baker), Buckley (David Wilcox), Capote (Amir Levi), and Mailer (Paul Parducci) provide Akuma-Shin with its brightest, Saturday Night Live-style moments as a quartet of celebrity writers known as much for their idiosyncrasies as they were for their bestsellers.” – StagesceneLA

“Director Scott Leggett has Baker, Levi, Parducci, Surdyke, and Wilcox doing some of the most hilarious takes I’ve seen on Brothers, Capote, Mailer, and Buckley (though you probably need to be at least fifty to know why the impressions are so spot-on) and their eleventh-hour Mike Mahaffey-choreographed fight sequence soars deliciously over the top.” –  StagesceneLA

“This show is unbelievable. Mind-blowing. Powerhouse performances all around, the parody is not only that, but also a sophisticated, darkly comedic, and thoroughly organized take on an already ridiculous situation that if feels like a true Broadway production. IT’S THAT GOOD. – Fringe Audience Review

“I went into the show, for some reason, thinking that his would be a one-woman musical. Far from it. This was a large cast (8) musical, executed well, with strong song and dance, and great effects.” – Observations Along the Road

“As for the cast (which includes many Karen Carpenter returnees), they could hardly be better than Libby Baker’s perpetually perky Lauren.” —Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA

“The lively Prairie-oke! is as endearing as it is demented.”  —The Huffington Post

“The cast does an ace job of handling the assignment of singing and dancing *and* representing American television icons and their chemistry–particularly between Baker, Lowe, and Droege and within the Pringles and Molson families–makes for an excellent watch “ —Los Angeles, I’m Yours

“Even if you have plans tonight, Even if you have plans tonight, cancel them and go see this hysterical show.” —FrontiersLA

“Baker is so much the picture of ‘60s elegance and sophistication and she has so masterfully adopted the bearing and speech patterns of the era that her performance could be inserted into a Douglas Sirk melodrama and not be out of place. And the oh-so versatile Baker proves quite the vocalist as well, her Act Two duet of “Stormy Weather” opposite Alexander making that amply clear.” —Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA

“As Freda, Libby Baker gives a performance in which every line, every glance — backward and forward — and every step is invested with meaning and purpose.  On Baker’s expressive face is registered the fluctuations in plot and changes in mood, even when her character is not directly involved in the action.” —Tom Waldman, NoHo Arts District

“Pitch Perfect performance by Libby Baker” —Pat Taylor, Tolucan Times

“Baker is dynamic as Freda, never missing a beat as she challenges everyone around her.” —Don Grigware, Broadway World

“Baker is delightfully zesty and acidic as Robert’s wife, and gives the production its biggest, well-earned laughs.” —Jesse David Corti, Stage and Cinema

“Procacci and Baker provide hilarious support as Oreo-munching Gretchen and braces-sporting Janie, with Baker returning in “guest star” mode to advise Margaret in time of crisis to “Sing,” sing a song, sing out loud, sing out strong.” — Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA

“Along the way, Karen Carpenter (played by Libby Baker) swoops in like the fairy godmother to wave her magic drumsticks and sing a solo backed by sock puppets made from feminine hygiene products.” — Jamie Wetherbe, LA Times
