1 Brownsville Bred should be Broadway Bound!!!  Review by: MsGenny, Oct 4, 2010
Just saw the show yesterday at the Schoolhouse Theater in Croton Falls, NY. Elaine is an extraordinary actress and having this play performed in an intimate theater like the Schoolhouse made it even more heartfelt and gripping. Truly, do not miss this show.

2 Brownsville Bred is a masterpiece, better than most of the shows on Broadway! It would be an immeasurable and irreparable loss to miss it.  Review by: Baltasar D. Cruz, Dec 1, 2009
I saw Brownsville Bred on Nov. 30, 2009 and was pleased to learn from Elaine Del Valle (the writer/performer) that additional performances of her show will be scheduled at the Nuyorican Poets Cafe, although the exact dates have yet to be announced.
Brownsville Bred is an autobiographical one-woman show, in which Elaine Del Valle dramatizes the story of her youth, growing up in Brownsville, Brooklyn, NY. It is an emotional roller coaster ... read more

I had the privilege of performing along side this show during the 2009 One Festival and Elaine blew me away with her performance! She is incredibly talented and her show is a journey you must take! Every moment you are on the edge of your seat! Don't miss this ride, Brownsville Bred is a Mus See!

6 I laughed, I cried and then I laughed again. Over and over again.  Review by: Broadwayman, May 24, 2009
I laughed, I cried, and then I laughed again! Elaine Del Valle took charge of my every emotion! I was so invested in the character, at times I wanted to jump from my seat to hug her, to help her, to laugh with her and then to celebrate with her...I left uplifted by a life story that is a beautiful example of humanity. It's like Slum Dog Millionaire meets My Big Fat Greek Wedding! If the TONY Board could see this play Brownsville Bred would sweep!... read more

7 Funny and Scary One Woman Show  Review by: Friendly Frank, May 23, 2009
I received an email from Elaine Del Valle about her one person show. We had worked on a commercial a few years ago. I remember her being a fun person on the set, so I thought her show might be interesting. I had no idea that I would be taken on an emotional roller coaster that would leave me exhausted but exhilarated. The world that she took the audience into was one I knew nothing about, but her telling of it made me feel that I was right ... read more

9 From the opening scene to the finale, Elaine will blow you away. What a great show!  Review by: Frank, May 22, 2009
New York is full of wonderful talents, but Elaine DelValle's play is a must see for all who love theatre. The story is both happy and sad at times as Elaine will have you at the end of your seats anxiously awaiting for her next character to emerge. What a beauty, what a talent, what a show!!!

11 Nrownsville Bred: A Tour de Force  Review by: Jason Z., May 20, 2009
Elaine del Valle has created a stunning night of theater. Brownsville Bred is more than a dynamite, contemporary New York story -- which it is. It is an engaging coming-of-age narrative about a young girl who becomes a teenager that alternately touches you with humor, pathos and heartbreak. Ms. Del Valle is clearly a talented writer and a gifted actress and has skillfully crafted a unique and wonderful piece of theater. **** (4 stars)
