REVIEWS
And you’ve never seen or heard anything like Vickruck, either. Built like a little soccer player with a crazy haircut, work boots and black jeans, she’s simply dynamite. I don’t know where director Renée Iaci found her, but Love Bomb is loud and proud with her. In fact, she’s what Shameless Hussy Productions is all about: strong, rebellious women “telling provocative stories about women to inspire the hand that rocks the cradle to rock the world.” Vickruck can belt a song, croon a song and massage a song into existence — and she can act, too. It’s a fantastic combination.. - Love Bomb Jo leddingham, Vancouver Courier

"Fortunately, there are other strengths, including Sara Vickruck’s attentive, sexy Joan." - Fun Home, Colin Thomas.

“It is the music which holds Poly Queer Love Ballad together and, as Gabby, Sara Vickruck is a total powerhouse. What starts with a folksy voice and tongue-in-cheek lyrics soon turns into much more, as Vickruck effortlessly loops to create a cool and beautiful soundtrack underscoring the important moments of their relationship. Vickruck’s voice is strong, beautiful, and filled with emotion, with her breakdown song both powerful and affecting. An effortless performer, it is evident she is having fun onstage, and her moments as she breaks down feel honest.” - Poly Queer Love Ballad Vancouver Presents, Katie Gartlan-Close
