Review of Savoyard Light Opera Company's performance of The Gondoliers
"Elaine Crane was a lovely 'Gianetta', her sweet, pure voice
easily meeting the demands of the role.  Her acting was so committed
to every movement and gesture and word...
it made for a very real, honest performance."

Review of Worcester County Light Opera’s production of Annie 
"Elaine Crane is absolutely radiant as Warbuck's secretary, Grace Farrell,
looking very much like someone who just stepped out of a 1933 fashion magazine.
Her voice soars on "I Think I'm Gonna Like It Here," "You Won't Be An Orphan For Long,"
and "NYC." She also sends a caring, maternal warmth across the stage whenever she's on it."
Paul Kolas, Worcester Telegram & Gazette, 5/4/04
