About Julia

































"In a brilliantly self-aware performance McLellan delivers this sexist material while commenting ironically on it: she sees the patriarchy for what it is and is beating it at its own game. McLellan is (pardon the expression) the full package: a great singer, dancer and actor who justly earned the biggest cheer from the opening-night crowd."
Karen Fricker, Toronto Star
"Just like the ray-of-sunshine Parton, Julia McLellan is fantastic as Dora-Lee... McLellan is a dynamite singer and wonderful as the iconic Dora-Lee--bringing toughness and tenderness together in a great performance...McLellan feels like the joyful guiding force of the trio--as much a ray of sunshine in her performance as Dolly herself.
Lucy Haines, Alberta Prime Times
"Julia McLellan's Persephone, had just the right amount of spunk and spirited rebelliousness, with a great big voice that reaches the heavens."
Noelle Hannibal, Broadway World Montreal
