Paola V. Hernández

“Paola V. Hernández is exquisitely beautiful as Vanessa, a rough-around-the-edges girl with a chip on her shoulder, put there by some unfair challenges she has faced but survived. Hernández has mastered Vanessa’s attitude, as well as the soft elements of the character’s personality that slip out from time to time. It is her voice, though, that will make you fall in love with Hernández.” - Rikki Le

“A stunningly multitalented triple threat, Paola V. Hernandez makes her Marriott debut portraying Vanessa, their liberal-minded co-worker at the salon. She’s Usnavi’s dream girl, as well as a girl with a dream of her own.” -Chicago Theatre Review
