Boston 2005 & 2007, St. Paul 2006
"O'Malley does a wonderful job as Betty Haynes, the practical, do-the-right-thing sister who falls for Wallace (Stephen Bogardus). For someone better known as an actress than a singer, she more than holds her own, particularly on her duets with Bogardus." Marty Karlon, The Nashua Telegraph, 2005
"All four leads are good singers, with O'Malley and Bogardus making a ravishing mesh of 'Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me' and 'How Deep is the Ocean.'" -Carolyn Clay, The Boston Phoenix, 2005
"Kerry O'Malley is a Nashua, New Hampshire native and she's from a family of creative people, among them her brother--Mike O'Malley--the star of the hit CBS series 'Yes, Dear.' O'Malley plays Betty in White Christmas, a role immortilized in the 1954 film by Rosemary Clooney, and in this stage production, O'Malley makes the part her own!" -Joyce Kulhawik, CBS 4
"Female leads Kerry O'Malley and Nadine Isenegger bring expert voices and dancing to the show." -Rosemary Ford, Salem News, 2005
"O'Malley's torchy version of 'Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me' nearly brings down the house." -Terry Byrne, The Boston Globe, 2007
"Kerry O'Malley is lovely as the more serious sister, Betty. Her smoky voice hits its apex singing the sultry solo, 'Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me.'" -Laurie Higgins, Cape Cod Times, 2007
"White Christmas may be as traditional as eggnog, but it is also very good, especially in the current incarnation, whose talented principles create the fundamental illusion of making what they do look effortless. Brian d'Arcy James' decent, dark, and handsome Bob Wallace, Jeffry Denman's graceful, lighthearted Phil Davis, Kerry O'Malley's sparkling, smoldering Betty Haynes, and Meredith Patterson's nimble, determined Judy Haynes make you go, 'Bing Who?'...'Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me,' knocked out of the park by O'Malley, and 'How Deep is the Ocean?' plumbed by d'Arcy James, prove that Berlin was much deeper than a snowdrift and had more sizzle than a snowman." -Carolyn Clay, Boston Phoenix, 2007
"Kerry O'Malley delivers a knock-out performance as Betty Haynes." -Nick Dussault, Boston Metro, 2007
"Brian d'Arcy James brings the right understatement to the relatively low-key Bob, while Kerry O'Malley finds all of Betty's high spirits. Both sing robustly, most notably on the heartfelt reprise of 'How Deep is the Ocean.' O'Malley demonstrates her impressive voice at the end of 'Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me.'" -Jules Becker, The Patriot Ledger, 2007
"The standout performances are turned in by a torchy Kerry O'Malley as Betty Haynes, an acerbic Susan Mansur as the inn's stalwart second-in-command Martha Watson, and the inimitable triple threat Jeffry Denman as Phil Davis...d'Arcy James is at his best opposite O'Malley..." -Jan Nargi, Broadwayworld.com
"O'Malley's singing is powerful, and best represernted during her late-night dinner lounge song, 'Love, You Didn't Do Right By Me,' where she belts out notes with ease." -Pete Keeling, The Berkeley Beacon
