Here is a sampling of testimonials from industry professionals:


There are not many talents in the entertainment business like Kay Cole. A singer, dancer,
choreographer, and most of all director who has been in show business all of her life. If there
ever was a true show business gypsy it is Kay. Knowing and working with her for over two
decades and seeing her work before then like the original production of A CHORUS LINE I can
attest that her creativity knows no end. She comes up with the most unique ways of staging
and dance and often makes non dancers look like they have been dancing for years. She sees
ideas in the material she tackles and every production she has directed for me has always
brought forward memorable moments not only for the performer but also the audience. Kay
Cole understands that she has three major obligations: to her audience, to her creative self
and of course to the producer who is paying her fee. But most of all, it is the audience who
yearns to see more of her creative self. She is a quiet force with a clear vision that will not
quit. Her creative team wants to follow her because they sense her passion and understands
her vision. And of course she is the consummate performer; whether it is wowing an
audience with her musical numbers and nostalgia of her career from ROAR OF THE
GREASEPAINT to A CHORUS LINE, or just listening to her stories of her career. This is one
woman who has not only the sweetest disposition but is always a positive force around
whomever she touches.

Working with Kay Cole is joyful. While she comes from a vast experience
of professional theater and the standard way of doing things, she thinks
outside the box and invariably comes up with thoughts and ideas – from
her head and from her heart -- that color and enhance any project she
touches. She is one of my favorite people on the planet.
