Quotes from Critics:

From Kansas City Magazine, Katie Van Luchene wrote, "We vote for Molly Hammer as one to watch. A stunning redhead, Hammer was born to sing standards. We first heard her perform at a Susan G. Komen fundraiser in August,— a fitting way for this survivor to give back to the community that has embraced her return."

From Eastern Iowa Life, SourceMedia Group, Diana Nollen wrote, "Molly Hammer of Kansas City, Mo., who has built a loyal Creamery following as Patsy Cline, gets to strut her funny stuff as well as her fabulous, versatile voice in this sweet role.

She’s the attendant at the Suds Wash-O-Rama, set in Anywhere, USA. At the top of her pile of woes, her penpal boyfriend has just dumped her, leaving her in the throes of woes. Her angst plays out through “End of the World,” giving Thursday afternoon’s opening audience their first glimpse of Hammer’s musical power. "

From KCMETROPOLIS.org, online journal of performing arts By Karen Hauge  
"Molly Hammer’s sultry mezzo filled the room with richness and warmth every time she sang, whether it was to charm us with the crowd-pleasing “Anything Goes,” or tell the story of a woman who could never find the right happy ending in “Stars and the Moon.” Her ease on stage instantly imbued the audience with her relaxed, confident energy, so we could sit back in the comforting pocket created by her consistently gorgeous voice."

From The Kansas City Star's review of
Quality Hill Playhouse's "Closer Than Ever."
By Robert Trussell
The comic highlights include Hammer's reading of "Miss Byrd," an office temp's confessional about her lunch-hour love affair. and "You Want to Be My Friend," in which (Jon) Daugharthy tries to break up with his girlfriend (Hammer) by telling her she deserves better. Hammer and (Kent) Barnhart have a romp with "There," and (Brian, bassist) Wilson gets to occupy the spotlight with Hammer in "Back on Base," which showcases Wilson's skill and Hammer's infectious sense of humor. Im my humble opinion, it's the best number in the show.

Molly appeared with James Wright, Julie O'Roark, and Lauren Braton in the Quality Hill Playhouse production of "Lullaby of 42nd Street" in 2010.
