Gollum in ‘The Hobbit’ for Dukes Theatre:
Cerise as Gollum, gives Andy Serkis a run for his money with her take on the wretched yet endearing character Nick Lakin, Lancaster Guardian
Gollum is conjured up with lots of earthy spirit by Josie Cerise Roger Foss, The Stage
Josie Cerise makes an impression in multiple roles including scheming trickster Gollum. May Mellstrom, Reviews Hub
The Princess in Action Transport Theatre’s ‘Princess and the Pea’:
Cerise gives the “Princess” a strong and independent edge … a heroine of the 21st Century and one that thrives… John Roberts, The Reviews Hub
Cerise switches from mood to mood magnificently, crafty one minute, innocent the next and makes key moments genuinely touching. Damon Fairclough, Northern Soul
Cerise bought a sense of braveness to her character that warranted not pity but support from the audience. Jess O’Neill, North West End
Norma in a National Tour of ‘Be My Baby’ for Anton Benson Productions with Brooke Vincent (Coronation Street) & Ruth Madoc (Hi de Hi)
…making it all the more traumatic to watch the unspiralling of Norma (a wonderful performance by Josie Cerise) Dianne Bourne, Manchester Evening News
The ensemble cast all give excellent performances throughout, notably Josie Cerise. Kirsty Scott, Upstaged
