”Tiger Lily is wonderfully portrayed by Bailey Frankenberg. Her confidence and passion burst at every seam. She is fearless and backs down for nothing. Her reprise of “I Gotta Crow” is a great moment with Peter and the Darlings. Her skills at Choreography and Fight Sequences are unmatched here, and she is grounded through every moment.”
- BroadwayWorld
“Bailey Frankenberg truly shines as Tiger Lily, both in her physicality and singing prowess.”
-Dallas Theatre Review: Red Carpet Crash
“The true scene stealer of the performance was Tiger Lily, played with exuberant defiance by Bailey Frankenberg. (She) simultaneously embodies the pride and wisdom of an eternal child.”

“Frankenberg gracefully transitions Lucy from sweet ingenue to ferocious vampire bride, and her skill as an aerialist justifies the ambitious use of silks and lyra hoops”

“Bailey Frankenberg who plays Eleanor Dare sings and acts like a dream.”
