I say your show early summer '06 and I was thoroughly impressed. One person shows can be boring. I have seen a few and they can be hard to sit through. Your's was sexy and funny and uplifting. I am from Spanish Harlem and you remind me of the girls I grew up with and dated. You made me homesick for the realness that is missing out here in LaLa. Keep putting it out there… I want to support your career!

I know you will experience much success and joy as you continue to do what you have been placed here to due, which is to uplift, inspire and motivate people through your natural gift of acting, singing, dancing, comedy and loving passionately. Remember to stay in the Joy through it all. You are the blessing. Have a Onederful day

Despite the seating problem, (we almost did not get in) we all thoroughly enjoyed the performance. In fact I was completely blown away by Maria Costa's genius. A witty, engaging and hilarious story and script and a performance of a higher order the likes of which I have rarely live, on the screen or elsewhere. She is simply mesmerizing and multi-skilled, passing from one personnage to a completely different other with seemless effort with a complete metamorphosis. I would love to see her again, and to have the world see here on the big screen, her Macho Men is a precious journey into the inner self of international womanhood which must be shared!
Thanks again, G

Congratulations,
I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for such a beautiful show. My dear,
need people with the sense of humor that you have shown with this show. It is soooo universal. I saw, at least, 20 of my family members in your routine. Do you know my family? When did you get to meet them? Mija, it was so close to home... You had me carcajeando all over the place. I almost peed on myself. In fact, I couldn't wait for the bathroom in the theatre, so I flew out to the nearest restaurant so that I could use theirs. Fijate nomas. Ya merito me hacias que me horinara... I wanted to see you in person and tell you all this, but you were so busy and here again, I had to peeeeeeeee!!!!
Again, thanx for a lovely show. God bless you and the guys... who were also beautiful... Que ritmo ni que nada. Supremos...
Ciao, baby...

Hey MovieStar!
Congrats on another great show! Timing and delivering lines was awesome! I felt that you and the audience 'connected' last night as a whole! Glad to have been there. People LOVE seeing u perform and some couldn't make it to the show in time and requested about other dates. So alive and electric. Makes me feel good to be around u. You are so positive.

Maria;
We loved your performance last Tuesday. I left with my cheeks hurting from
laughing so much! You know that's a good sign. All your characters are so
good. What can I say it was all so good. I can't figure out which
characters I love the most. It's either 'Laquisha' or 'Tia Fienstien'.
I'm so happy and honored to have you on our cover. I'm very pleased to have
somebody who's so happening, talented and real, not to mention beautiful.
Thinking about coming next week to your show with Mario the 'King King' owner,
he'd love it. In fact I can't think of anyone who wouldn't love it!
Wishing all the success;
Willie McNeil

Mamacita,
You were amazing tonite!!! A Latina Goddess on FIRE!!! Girl, you need
to do that show live in a huge auditorium and tape it for an HBO or
Showtime comedy special... it's sooo funny!
I brought several friends with me tonite and they absolutely loved
it!!! They went home and called all their friends and invited them to
your shows in August... and everyone of our salsa friends who saw you
tonite wants to come back in September!
Two of my girlfriends who were there tonite have been having a rough
time the past several days and have been very sad and after your show
they all told me how much better you made them feel and how happy they
were that they came to your show!
Thanks for shining your beautiful Light and Spirit for all of us to
enjoy!
Lot's of Love, Elizabeth

This was my first time seeing your performance in its entirety, the writing is excellent, execution and timing impeccable.

Congratulations on all the accolades and wonderful projects you are
immersed in! You are a cultural force to be reckoned, clearly ambitious, and --
of course -- very much in possession of the natural talent and skill necessary to successfully feed this whirlwind of activity. I almost don't knowwhere to begin, except that I'd love to attend the May 6th event, as well asany other performances/receptions/events with which you are involved. Please get back to me and stay in touch!
All the very best,
