WHAT'S THE BUZZ...
ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL
"Later in the play, when the action shifts to Italy, Nicole Javier gives the production some fortitude and backbone as Diana, an innkeeper's daughter pursued by Bertram and ultimately co-opted by Helen to help set things right."
- Joy Evan Henerson, Broadway World
TOKYO FISH STORY
"It's the explosive fiery feminist badass newbie Ama (Nicole Javier) that brings the most pungency to the narrative."
- Karen D'Souza, San Jose Mercury News
"Helping round out the talented ensemble is Nicole Javier. As Ama, Ms. Javier displays persistence and purpose of her own desires while fully embracing with knowing looks and caring eyes the respect and reverence due to the honored Koji."
-Eddie Reynolds, Talkin' Broadway
"Javier manages to give Ama more dimensionality than is on the page, making her more of an equal in Takashi's realm. Her dreamy appearances as The Woman are haunting and timeless."
- Jeanie K. Smith, Mountain View Voice
EDITH CAN SHOOT THINGS AND HIT THEM
Listed in KQED's Arts Do It List
"A winsome Nicole Javier plays Edith with such engaging and uncutesy bravado..."
- Jean Schiffman, San Francisco Examiner
"Javier as Edith has a taller order. As the youngest kid, she has to straddle that chasm between childhood and adulthood and not give one of those annoying “adult playing widdle kiddle” performances, which she studiously avoids. Edith is a firecracker, Javier certainly delivers on ferocity, intelligence and emotional volatility."
- Chad Jones, Bay Area Backstage
"Javier adroitly captures the title character's contradictions. She is a wise, mature adult, a tough-talking, trigger-happy maverick, and a terrified little girl."
- Lily Janiak, SF Weekly
RAPTURE, BLISTER, BURN
Listed in KQED's Best Theater of 2014: A Year Full to Bursting with Powerful Performances
"Nicole Javier's Avery... is the fresh, not to mention caustic breeze of youth, challenging - and judging - her elders... "
- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Midriff-bearing Avery (a jaunty Nicole Javier)... delivers many of the tartiest lines in the play, including an unforgettable joke about the commonalities between porn and Google Maps, nicely framed by Javier's keen comic instincts."
- Karen D'Souza, San Jose Mercury News
"Avery (a fierce, forthright Nicole Javier) shine[s] in scene after hilarious scene. Together, Bogovich and Javier achieve something rare — a comedy that goes deep, yet never loses its sense of humor."
- Georgia Rowe, The San Francisco Examiner
SOME GIRL(S)
"New hotel room, and we meet Tyler (Nicole Javier), a hot lusty babe with seemingly one thing on her mind, until we learn that she, too, nurses some wounds. Javier is a marvelous example of the wealth and depth of Bay Area acting talent."
- Jeannie K. Smith, Talking Broadway
EXPECTING ISABEL
"Nicole Javier is amazing in her distinct portrayals of therapist, junkie and overwhelmed young mother."
- Elizabeth Warnimont, Benicia Harold
FRESH VOICES SHOWCASE: DEMONS AND DELIGHTS
"Through a collage of Shakespeare, music, and movement, Nicole follows the footsteps of the famous Alice in Wonderland to discover that the rabbit hole turned out to be one of the best rides of her life."
- Kathy Lauer-Williams, The Morning Call
