"The great majority of shows I saw were oozing with passion. Some standouts for me were Elaine Del Valles Brownsville Bred whose story from the projects in Brooklyn really resonated with me, and whose optimistic outlook on life completely charmed me. Anyone who generally categorizes solo shows as self-indulgent has clearly never met the likes of Elaine- for these extraordinary talents its more than simply telling a story. Its about sharing a part of themselves that they hope will resonate, touch and inspire others."
Ashley Steed, LA STAGE
GO! "With fashion-model beauty and a smile that can melt iron, Puerto Rican Del Valle tells a mostly affectionate tale of living in and breaking out of the Brooklyn housing projects where she grew up. She has a squeaky voice that can also become tinged with a growl, hinting at the ferocity mingled with the sweetness of her portrayal."
Steven Leigh Morris, LA Weekly
