Resume also available here:

Anne of Green Gables (Off-Bway, Lucille Lortel)

"Piper Goodeve is sensational." - Talkentertainment.com

"...a winning performance by Piper Goodeve as Anne." - New York Post

"Piper Goodeve captures Anne's effusive enthusiasm...the casting is impressive, particularly the three principals." - New York Times

"This is Goodeve's show and it's uncanny how she reproduces the Sturm und Drang of the turn-of-the-century pre-teen without being completely ridiculous."
- Edge NYC

"Piper Goodeve makes an ebullient Anne, fiercely embodying both her irrepressible hopes and her melodramatic tirades. Her giddy solo "I Can Stay," in which she celebrates Marilla's decision to keep her at Green Gables, is a triumph of voice, personality, and athleticism. The little girls seated around me let out contented sighs at their favorite Anne moments they clearly embraced this live and rambunctious version of their heroine. "- Off-Off Online

"[Piper Goodeve] is a charmer who shows just about every emotion that a young, confused girl could ever go through. And then some. Piper Goodeve has a long and luminous career ahead of her."
- Talkentertainment.com See entire article here:

Anne of Green Gables

"Piper Goodeve is touching and funny as Anne."
- Associated Press

"Piper Goodeve as the title character, Anne, is pure enchantment...Without a sensational actress to portray Anne, the show-- no matter how well written as is this production-- wouldn't work for five seconds let alone ninety minutes. And Piper Goodeve is sensational." - Talkentertainment.com

"a plucky performance by the talented Piper Goodeve." - CurtainUp

"As Anne, Goodeve looks like someone Maurice Sendak might have drawn had he ever illustrated the children's classic. In David H. Lawrence's wig of red braids, she exudes about as much pluck as could be wished for by anyone who loves the Montgomery book." -Theatermania "Piper Goodeve, who demonstrated her excellent comic timing in Peter Mills' The Pursuit of Persephone several seasons ago, is winsome and endearing as Anne, growing stronger in the role as the character gets older." - Broadwayworld.com

The Fantasticks (Merrimack Rep, Lowell, MA)

“Luisa, is played brilliantly by Piper Goodeve…And remember you will. You'll remember these wonderful, timeless tunes. But the one thing you will never forget is Piper Goodeve who, last night, WAS Luisa at her best. She was the perfect giddy teenager who, through the trials and tribulations that love presents, turns into a woman before our eyes.” - www.pmpnetwork.com

“Her voice -- sweetly resonant in such numbers as "Much More" -- evokes the excitement and passion of youth, seeking adventure and being anything but ordinary. The performance of the classic "Soon It's Gonna Rain" is a dazzler.”
- The Lowell Sun

“Piper Goodeve (Luisa) and Nick Mannix (Matt) are suitably callow at the outset and both give tender performances as their romance blooms, ebbs, and renews. Goodeve's voice is simply lovely and the joy in it is matched by her very expressive face when she sings. She blends beautifully with Mannix in their duets…They may be playing ingénues, but they sing with undeniable and heartfelt maturity.”
- Broadwayworld.com

“Piper Goodeve as Luisa beautifully captures young love and the self-absorption it often involves. One of the most moving scenes in the show involves Luisa watching Matt being beaten and tortured in silhouette until El Gallo insists she look through an elaborate party mask which makes it all seem fun and exciting. It's a beautifully acted scene…” - Metro West Daily News

Oklahoma!

***Oklahoma!* *(Hangar Theatre, Ithaca, NY)***

"Piper Goodeve makes a strong impression as Laurey."
- Mr. Teachout for the Wall Street Journal

"One reason this production feels new is that three leads are cast somewhat against type. Piper Goodeve is Curley's match as the independent-thinking Laurey; she shines vocally, as in their terrific duet "People Will Say We're in Love."
- Ithaca Journal

"Goodeve is properly independent and strong as she reluctantly resists the advances of Curly (Whit Baldwin), and has several sweet vocal turns in tunes such as "People Will Say We're in Love"..."
- Post-Standard critics, Syracuse.com

"The casting in "Oklahoma!" is phenomenal, thanks to casting director Alan Filderman. Joanna Krupnick (Ado Annie) and Goodeve (Laurey) both shone brightly among the giant cast of last year's production of "Hair" at the Hangar; here, they work together seamlessly and seize the spotlight when their turn comes."
- Ithaca Times

"Goodeve, blessed with a soaring, almost Viennese, soprano, can complete for the versatility prize. Last summer she was Sheila in Hangar's production of Hair, for which she was nominated for a Syracuse New Times Syracuse Area Live Theater Award." - Syracuse New Times

HAIR (Hangar Theatre, Ithaca, NY)

"Piper Goodeve, as Berger's girlfriend Sheila, exhibits head-turning vocals on 'I Believe in Love,' 'Easy to be Hard,' and 'Good Morning Starshine.'"
- Post-Standard Critics at www.syracuse.com

"Piper Goodeve has a powerhouse voice as Sheila, the anti-war activist."
- The Ticket (Ithaca Journal)

"Sheila, played by Goodeve, is a pretty girl with a vigorous voice."
- The Ithaca Times

The Pursuit of Persephone (Connelly Theater, NYC)

"Piper Goodeve holds her own as Ginevra's sensible sidekick." -The New York Times

"Special bravos are also due to David Abeles as Edmund Wilson and Piper Goodeve as his romantic (a Mills/Reichel invented character) interest, and Ginevra's finishing school roommate." -CurtainUp

"Piper Goodeve, as the supporting romantic comedienne, conjures images of Andrea Martin with her flawless comic timing, and her awkward chemistry with David Abeles' smart and wry Edmund Wilson is utterly endearing."
-Broadwayworld.com

Songs from Anne of Green Gables:

"The pluck and talkativeness of the loose cannon Anne as performed might remind you of Sutton Foster's performance of the determined and sometimes giddy Jo in the musical adaptation of another girl-friendly classic novel, Little Women."

The Original Cast Recording of Anne of Green Gables was voted one of the TOP TEN Cast Albums of 2008 by Talkinbroadway.com
