NEWSIES
"The show’s real attraction is its dance sequences — wall-to-wall numbers that capture the newsboys’ unified front in a flurry of handsprings and tumbles, ballet turns and tap moves."
-Seattle Times
"Tabb's superb choreography still brought in all the stunning leaps and spins and yes, that rousing dance on the newspapers is still there and extra kudos to her for the fantastic tap number in 'King of New York' which I don't remember being as fun before but here was a show stopper."
-BroadwayWorld
BILLY ELLIOT
"Katy Tabb’s diverse choreography ranges from drunken carousing (“Merry Christmas, Maggie Thatcher”) to elegant, balletic grace (“Swan Lake”). That fog-shrouded, aerial dream ballet, in which Billy dances with his future self (Scott Brateng), is a beautiful moment of yearning and a stirring affirmation of the show’s ability to shut out the pesky intrusions of reality."
- Seattle Times
"A tap dance that merely served to show the passage of time in the movie is transformed into the gut-wrenching “Angry Dance.” Katy Tabb’s powerful choreography captures Billy’s rage and frustration, while Billy’s primal screams fuse with the music in stark contrast to his sweet treble in other numbers."
- Parent Map
"But right does eventually prevail. The village comes to Billy’s defense and helps make his dreams come true. It all plays out with terrific music (by Elton John), and spectacular dance numbers choreographed by Katy Tabb."
- Arts Stage-Seattle Rage
"They’ve been working pretty much weekly for months to manage the choreography, with hands on help from Katy Tabb, the young up and coming choreographer who absolutely killed (in the good way) each and every choreographic task...Tabb’s effort is a huge highlight of the production."
- Miryam's Theater Musings
"This production is helmed with passion by Village’s veteran Artistic Director Steve Tomkins (at the height of his skills) and choreographed by Katy Tabb with exuberance and an attention to dance technique rare to shows so heavily focused on child performers. In its first local production it can stand shoulder to shoulder, and in some ways rises above the national tour version seen at the Paramount a few seasons back."

Singin In The Rain
"...delightful, especially during its rapturous dance sequences, choreographed with an eye toward subtly tweaking Kelly and Donen’s style by Katy Tabb."
