...Panerosa and Prestinario… wordlessly establish the most intense connection we’re likely to see onstage this year…
— TimeOut Chicago

Andrea received a Jeff Award for “Actress in a Principal Role in a Musical” for her portrayal of Violet. Directed by Stephen Genovese, Side Show won a total of 5 Jeff Awards, including Best Musical. It was invited to the Chicago Park District’s Theatre on The Lake initiative and was remounted there the following summer. TimeOut Chicago said: “...Panerosa and Prestinario… wordlessly establish the most intense connection we’re likely to see onstage this year…” and Chris Jones of the Chicago Tribune said “The actors drip vulnerability and the emotional intensity is palpable. I’m thinking of going back.”
