BERNHARDT\HAMLET

Amy Ingram was a delightful Lysette, her portrayal of a down-to-earth Ophelia quite hilarious.

​

Rounding out the phenomenal cast, Amy Ingram (Lysette), Gareth Davies (Raoul) and Leon Cain (Francois) all delivered outstanding performances in what must be one of the strongest team’s I have seen QTC put together. There was barely a beat out of place, and the emotion, dedication, passion, and anger displayed from each one of them made this play the strong performance that it was.

MAGIC MIKE LIVE AUSTRALIA

Our guide to the smorgasbord of eye candy is Amy Ingram – a bawdy emcee who becomes a lightning rod for audience lust and a fount of lubricious humour. (“Carpe dickem!” she shouts in one especially high-minded moment. “Seize the dick!”…Ingram really knows how to work an audience….

The Age 

 

The surge of relief that the woman is part of the show is replaced with a warm glow of awesome as she calls out this tokenistic representation of what women want. Amy Ingram strips the male MC of his microphone and she takes over. She is his equal and she will be our voice on this night as we celebrate sexuality and let our inner Jezebels honour their wonton ways without shame....Once Ingram has the reins you really are in for the ride of a lifetime.

It is not only the muscular men who capture attention at Magic Mike Live, with a hilarious and engaging performance from actress Amy Ingram as the symbolic ‘everywoman’. 

Timeout 

​

... it thankfully makes way for a classier expression commanded by MC Amy Ingram as she explains what she and most real women want in their ideal man. Ingram is a wonderfully bold and powerful expression of an 'everywoman' as she lets the ladies of the audience know that it is ok to have the courage to ask for what they look for in a man.

... but first a shower of roses is in order for the two women who arguably stole the show – MC, Amy Ingram and “mermaid”, Max Francisco....Amy’s hilarious balls to the wall performance left us in no doubt that this was a show for the girls, that the guys were going to give it to us and that the pleasure would be all ours.

​

Unlike a standard physical male revue, Magic Mike Live is propelled by a narrative that is told by the female emcee as she guides us through the story of helping young ‘Mike’ finds his confidence both on the dance floor and with the ladies. In this evening’s performance the role of the emcee was played by Amy Ingram who successfully made the audience feel at home and kept the laughs rolling. She played the role perfectly in that Amy was just like one of us in the audience … that could be any average woman on the stage with the boys!

CINDERELLA 

You simply fall in love with Ingram’s Ashley – she is pretty and perky, but forever keeping her energy under wraps so as not to reveal her ever-anxious personality. She moves effortlessly from bubbly and funny to sad and lonely – the woman longing to believe in the pop-song fantasies but equally wanting to peel off the veneer and just be accepted for being herself – love of 80s pop, pet cat, herbal tea collection, and all.

Stage Whispers

 

Through the little looks and slight movements of their hesitations, we laugh both with and at them. Indeed, in this regard, things are not overplayed, but rather realised to their full, uncomfortable potential. Ingram uses every aspect of physicality to show the anxious insecurity of her character’s second guess of herself and her potential new beau’s motivations.

​

These two actors have sexual chemistry in droves! It radiates off the stage, making some awkwardly bumbling scenes watchable only through your fingers; they’re that good.

I Just Came To Say Goodbye

Performances are focused and fluid, the text judiciously arranged to foreshadow events to come. At times the stories presented are simplistic, even banal, such a friend’s betrayal at a karaoke bar. At other times the struggles are life-changing, the events discussed immense and unsettling. At no point does the production feel exploitative. Instead of betraying the secrets they have been entrusted with, I Just Came So Say Goodbye honours them in a finely tuned and fascinating work of theatre.

Low Level Panic

 

In her bold, utterly unselfconscious synchronised bath routine (and all else ) Ingram is a revelation: gradually, sneakily, moving from physical to emotional nakedness 

SOS Review

 

Ingram, a Queensland actor making her Sydney stage debut, is magnetic as the bolshie yet bereft Jo.

Jason Blake, Sydney Morning Herald

​

Performances are passionately vivid. The marvellous Amy Ingram leaves a remarkable impression with her impeccable timing and disarming authenticity as Jo, a character with endearing vivacity who nonetheless suffers from the unfortunate, but all too common, obsession with her self-determined physical inadequacies. The actor brings a valuable dignity to a discussion that tends to present her role as a victim of circumstance, and her brilliant sense of humour is the spoonful of sugar that makes the caustic medicine go down

Ingram is bold and brave as Jo. She’s utterly compelling, and navigates Jo’s vast emotional journey beautifully.

The Odd couple

As the ‘sweet bits of crumpet’ from the apartment upstairs, the two Pigeon sisters, Gwendolyn (Lauren Jackson) and Cecily (Amy Ingram), in Oscar Wilde tribute,  appear almost like an over-the-top French and Saunders type giggly double-entendred caricature sketch, however, are gleeful editions to Act Two. Indeed, Ingram shows some of her best work when through mere glance or ordinary word she elicits some of the biggest audience laughs.

The Seagull

There are also particularly impressive appearances from a fiery Amy Ingram as Masha

The Daily Review 

 

Spiralling furiously into the outer orbit of all this is Masha (most brilliantly played by Amy Ingram) who is tortured by her unreturned love for Konstantin and repulsed by loyal Medvedenko’s (Lucas Stibbard) unshakable love for her. Poor Medvendenko being the only decent one of the lot of them. Ingram undoubtedly gives the performance of the evening when Masha devastatingly predicts her very disappointing future even as she is right in the middle of resisting it. Ingram plays Masha six feet out in front of her face; she is brash, nasty and tarty and so brutally honest you can’t help but feel sick for her and her unavoidable annihilation – the living death is the worst of them all.

AWKWARD CONVERSATION:MEDEA REDUX

As Medea, Amy Ingram more than does justice to one of the greatest female roles in the theatrical canon. Teetering on the edge of audience empathy throughout she shows not only a heartbroken woman hell-bent on a revenge plot 14 years in the making, but also something of the giddiness of the undying infatuation and naïve innocence that attracted the high school teacher who became her exploitative childhood partner. And while Ingram does bitter better than anyone, it is her initial vulnerability that is the most memorable aspect of her performance.

I Want To Know What Love Is

We know Amy Ingram’s comedy is excellent, and this production allows her a little tragedy too. It’s clearer, and sadder than ever before.

Amy Ingram is bold and ballsy as food-and-Lewis obsessed Cherry

Amy Ingram, one the best of the new crop of comedy actors, was great as the sex-obsessed, knife wielding psycho. Not the person to meet in a dark alley!

Rabbit

Amy Ingram’s performance of Bella was both hilarious and heartbreaking. She is a completely infectious performer (and I promise I mean that in a good way) with her energy, her laughter, her presence, and her complete and utter fearlessness on stage. I don’t think I’ve seen a stronger ensemble all year – every performer could give and take as well as the next.

AustralianStage.com.au

 

The cast is headed by Amy Ingram as Bella, a successful publicist, in a performance that is as robust as it is gentle and nuanced. It’s also in perfect sync with Raine’s shrewd take on friendship and contemporary society.

Fat Pig

For those familiar with LaBute's work you will have an inkling of how this story may end but nothing will prepare you for the actual finale. It is one of the most moving pieces of theatre I have seen in recent times and Ingram carries it off with great sensitivity. It is fair to say that we should be seeing much more of this very able actor in the future.

ABC.net.au

 

Amy Ingram, as the warmly humorous Helen, moves between a sparkling self-deprecating honesty and a soul-crushing devastation with consummate ease.
