...Billie Wildrick, as Eileen, is the direct opposite. Her crystal clear voice is sweet and melodious, complimenting her character’s sunny disposition and dewy-eyed view of the world. Wildrick engages the audience with her warmth and simple charm.

Billie Wildrick as the naieve bombshell Eileen fits as well into a tight ensemble cast as she does into her body-hugging costumes (by Lynda Salsbury). Wildrick, who has already made a splash in varied roles at Village Theatre and The 5th Avenue, scores again in this romp. Rudinoff and Wildrick's homesick Act I duet ``Ohio'' (``Why-oh-why-oh-why-oh'') locks them together as family. In the final scene, when they burn down the house with ``Wrong Note Rag,'' the lead performers and cast leave the audience wanting more and creating their own ``March

Madness.''

Billie Wildrick hits a Seattle career high, ideally cast in the role of Eileen, Ruth's comely mantrap of a sister. Paired with Rudinoff on two duets, the slyly satirical "Ohio" and the late act two rouser "Wrong Note Rag," Wildrick's lighter, more operatic range blends with Rudinoff's throaty, smokier sounds in a way that is pure musical theatre heaven, and her ballads "A Little Bit in Love" and "It's Love," are winsomely engaging.

Billie Wildrick manages to put her own stamp on a deceptively difficult role. Her soprano belt (similar to the great Debbie Gravitte) gets the job done in the tricky “A Little Bit in Love”. She provides a finely crafted performance that is equal parts sweet and sassy. Wildrick is also able to negotiate Eileen’s nearly impossible coloratura in “Conversation Piece”. Rudinoff and Wildrick put great effort into fleshing out the relationship between Ruth and Eileen. These fine actors give history and substance to the unique bond between the Sherwood sisters. Their voices blend well to create a touching “Ohio”.

ON THE AISLE: DEWEY MEE

Armstrong is absolutely right in championing Rudinoff and Wildrick as "two of Seattle's brightest young talents." Rudinoff, who exudes self-confidence on stage, is a superb singer/actress. Her comic timing is impeccable. She does wonders with a casual aside remark and a well-chosen wisecrack. Her singing is expert. The character of Eileen could have easily come across as vapid . But Wildrick, full of effervesence and natural, unforced talents, handles the role quite differently and winningly.  Eileen charms the entire male New York City Police Department, because there is evidently no place to go but jail after the non-stop conga turns into a wild party. The ladies are supported by an excellent cast of eccentric characters, most notably Brandon O'Neill as former football hero Wreck and David Pichette as Parisian landlord/artist Appopolous. Rudinoff, Wildrick, and cast end by singing "The Wrong Note Rag." But "Wonderful Town" hits all the right notes and is the most solidly entertaining show the 5th Avenue Theatre has offered this season.

The honey-voiced Billie Wildrick sails along as sweet Eileen. Wildrick's sunny smile and unselfconscious cheer are just right for the part; it's easy to see why all the boys love her.

...And it is loaded with native talent, led by zesty top banana Sarah Rudinoff as writer Ruth Sherwood and delightful Billie Wildrick as her comely kid sis Eileen.

As the lovely Eileen, beloved of policemen and everything else male onstage, Billie Wildrick has the vocal chops to keep up with Sarah Rudinoff. Wildrick wowed 5th Avenue audiences as Columbia in "Rocky Horror Picture Show" and Philia in "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum." She also recently picked up a Seattle Footlights Award for her ditzy Mayzie La Bird in SCT's production of "Seussical!"

Like Rudinoff, Wildrick has honed her comic timing in cabaret and fringe shows and she looks like what Damon Runyon would call "a swell doll" in this production.
