"Perhaps most notable about Studio Tenn's
Mamma Mia!... however, is its younger stars: the
aforementioned Miss Urbanski as Sophie and
Liam Searcy, perfectly cast as her fiancé Sky...
Urbanski and Searcy more than prove their
mettle in Mamma Mia! - and neither of them
have ever been better. Urbanski is terrific in the
role that ideally shows off her musical theater talents (her dancing has never been better onstage)... Both young actors have names to remember and promising futures to follow, so mark my words: Emily Urbanski and Liam Searcy are going to be stars."
-Jeffery Ellis, Broadway World

"Senior Emily Urbanski plays the lively Sophie Sheridan in her fourth show with Studio Tenn. Erica Aubrey, a musical theatre instructor at Belmont, plays Sophie’s mother and the Dancing Queen herself, Donna Sheridan. The chemistry between the two shines in “Slipping Through my Fingers,” as Donna prepares to give her only daughter away. Aubrey’s vocals are clean and weighted with emotion, while Urbanski’s internal conflict about marriage is etched in her expression."

"…Every member of the ensemble (including its
two female members, the versatile and
game-for-anything Arden Taylor and Emily
Urbanski) shines like the stars they are surely
meant to be."

​
First off, there is Skylar and Kylar (played with equal parts charm, presence and ferocity by Emily Urbanski and Maggie Wood)…"

​
"In the stage version, Susan — played by Emily Ann Urbanski — ... makes every effort to grab the attention of Phil and Bob. Her reprise of “Let Me Sing and I’m Happy” is surprisingly powerful, considering Urbanski’s young age."
