As Barbara Grant in Perfect Arrangement at freeFall Theatre
"Barbara Grant played by Nichole Hamilton was one bad girl, and she played bad really well. Imagine Karen Walker meets Bettie Davis; she’s coming for what she wants and is not afraid to take it no matter the cost. All I can say is I was here for it, and Jimmy Baxter had it right when he said, “God, you’re Fabulous.” -Drew Eberhard, Carrollwood Florida Patch
As Barbara Grant in Perfect Arrangement at freeFall Theatre
"Perhaps best in the cast honors goes to Nichole Hamilton, as the game-changer Barbara Grant. Taller than the rest of the cast, and wearing smashing costumes and headpieces like an unwanted haloes plopped on her head, she knows how to make a memorable instance. Here is a side character who is the one we remember most when looking back on the action of the play. There's something sly and mysterious about her as she slinks across the stage like a fashionable viper with a reptilian smirk across her face. It's an extraordinary turn." -Peter Nason, Broadway World, Tampa/ St. Petersburg

Parallel Lives at NC Stage Theatre Review
“Hamilton’s star-turn moment comes late in the second act when she mimes the complete morning ritual for women, set to a background of a classical music. She takes us from rising from bed to the full shower process to putting on pantyhose and makeup. It is precision work that almost brings the house down.” - Jeff Messer, Mountain Xpress
Parallel Lives at NC Stage “Hurricane of Humor”
“Hamilton and Munoz both dazzle and amaze us in their comic, often raucous romp through a series of skits that take us into the lives of modern day women. Their teamwork is fast and fluid; they switch roles and characters with such apparent ease that they seem to fly before us like acrobats.” - RoseLynn Katz, Citizen Times
Most Memorable Theatrical Performances in Gainesville
NICHOLE HAMILTON IN "KING O THE MOON": Nichole Hamilton does deadpan better than any of the current crop of Hippodrome supporting actors. Her performance as Ellen — much-put-upon mother possessed of iron will, infinite patience and a deep reservoir of understated sarcasm — is the glue that holds the dysfunctional Pazinski family together. Kudos also for her portrayal of an Amazonian Maid Marion in the Hipp's production of "Robin Hood." - Ron Cunningham, The Gainesville Sun
As Maid Marian in Robin Hood
"The fair Maid Marian does deadpan like she’s got the patent on it."
"Nichole Hamilton is Marian, a sort of Amazonian maiden-in-distress who, a head taller than her rescuer, gives the impression that she could take Robin two-throws out of three if she cared to. In a production where everybody is hard-put to keep a straight face, stoic Marion would sooner crack a skull than crack a smile." - Ron Cunningham, The Gainesville Sun

As Lina in Misalliance...
"As the 'man-woman' Lina, Nichole Y. Hamilton towers in height over every actor except, appropriately, John Musgrave (Bentley's "imperialist" father, Lord Summerhays). When Lina yanks John Tarleton up off the chair by the back of his suit jacket (which got a huge laugh) or when she carries young Bentley off to the gym, she's very believable." - Marianne Messina, Metro Silicon Valley
"I cannot say enough about the performance of Nichole Hamilton as the Polish acrobat. her entire being, her stance, her smirk and everything else about her are totally convincing. As the son of Polish immigrants I can also attest that her accent is impeccable. Her scene with DeWester is one of the best." -Ed Pliska, Oakland Tribune.
As Clelia in The Nerd...
"The scenery-chewing award has got to go to Nichole Hamilton in the small but hysterical role of Clelia, a pot of simmering discontent posing as a dutiful wife and mother with a unique form of stress reduction: She's a crockery smasher. One hour with the nerve-racking nerdster and there's not a demitasse left in the house. Hamilton, like everyone else here, plays a saucer-shallow character, but she inhabits her role fully - and ends up getting some of the biggest guffaws." -Karen D'Sousa, San jose Mercury News
As Nurse Ratched in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest...
"Nichole Hamilton offers a wonderful insight into Nurse Ratched, a hardened professional whose true desire seems to be to help her patients, but only through a very rigid and uncompromising position. She is measured, focused and determined. Hamilton's Ratched is the quintessential voice of the establishment, demanding obedience, uniformity, and compliance." - Fred Crow, Milpitas Post.
