“Whether playing crestfallen or exhilarated, frenetic with anxiety or exploding in fury, Dow manages at each moment to take the feeling precisely up to its edge — and stop there. ”
- Michael Feingold, The Village Voice
“Dow and Martinez are terrific, his long, slow burn a foil to her staccato chatter and mixed-message body language.”
— Jeremy Gerard, Deadline
“Both Ana Isabel Dow and Eddie Martinez give fine performances here....Their exchanges have a rapid-fire staccato reminiscent of Rosalind Russell and Cary Grant in “His Girl Friday.”
- Jane Dentinger, New York Theatre Guide
“Ms. Dow, who has the trickier role, is intentionally more grating, though she and Mr. Martinez achieve an enjoyable rapport.”
- Alexis Soloski, The New York Times
“Nice, shaded work.”
- David Cote, Time Out New York
“Dow’s never-ending jitters are great fun to watch!”
- David Finkle, The Huffington Post
“Dow is eerily authentic as the high-strung writer suffering from self-inflicted stress. She holds her tension in her shoulders and regularly cuts Abel off when she has something to say. The disdain she has for her new job occasionally escapes in the form of a harsh Chicago vowel, which she clings to as if it were a buoy, keeping her from drowning in the ocean of artificiality that is Los Angeles.”
- Zachary Stewart, Theatermania
Praise for Song For The Disappeared
“Ms. Dow [...] is touching as the pathetically desperate-to-please Mila.”
- Michael Sommers, The New York Times
“Dow is terrific!”
- Simon Saltzman, CurtainUp
"Ms. Dow imbues Mila with a complexity and mystery behind her “trophy-wife’ exterior.”
- Sarah Vander Schaaff, Broadway World
"Ms. Dow’s Mila is hilarious, with her rapid-fire chatter and her mangled idioms.”
- Bob Brown, The Princeton Packet
“The clearly isolated member of the family is Leo’s new wife, Mila, played by Annie Dow. Specifically her accent and speech pattern, referenced as a Mexican “hick” by the daughters, performs every deep and complicated layer of the assumed bimbo arm candy. Her ability to create humor in a dark environment and embody the darkness happening behind the scenes of this character is impressive in a difficult text. ”
- Rachel Beecher, DC Metro Theater Arts
Praise for Motherfreakinghood at NYMF
“Dow is quite funny!”
— Zachary Stewart, Theatemania
Praise for Much Ado About Nothing:
“Claudio (Joseph Midyett) and Hero (Ana Isabel Dow) earn their due praise in the second act.”
- Peter Freeman, DC Outlook
