“ Take Mary Ellen Bernard, playing a pregnant bride singing ‘Waiting at the Church’ and then ‘Now I Have to Call Him Father,’ a funny song about a girl whose lover married her mother.

“The original cast stand-out is a small blonde name Mary Ellen Bernard. She does a touching number called ‘Sell No More Drink to My Father,’ and she also plays a very pregnant bride left at the altar. Both numbers are standouts.” (A Little of What You Fancy, A British Music Hall Revue) – Ocean County Reporter

“ Mary Ellen Bernard, a pert blonde who looks and sounds every bit like she just emerged from a West End pub, completely charms with such unlikely songs as ‘Now I Have to Call Him Father,’ ‘Waiting at the Church’ and ‘Sell No More Drink to My Father.’” – Backstage
