September 30, 2007 - "Dear Lindsay, YOU WERE WONDERFUL! I couldn't take my eyes off of you. Such good R,L,R,E and I was so proud. Loved your singing and dancing at the end.......the hit of what is a really good show. Since I've worked with all the Ryan girls, I expected nothing less than a stunning performance from Lindsay or Molly or Kaleigh. The Ryan girls are all so special and talented! Thank you for a fabulous time and a memorable 6th birthday for Rory. She loved the whole American Girl experience. Me too! I am off to NY on Thursday. Home Oct 29. If you know anyone who wants to take my musical class, have them call. You have a ball rehearsing Annie. I'll come see you when it opens!"

forward to attending one of their performances! I know that Los Angeles Valley College is known for their outstanding Theatre Arts Program and the school is literally right up the street from where I live! Please pass along our best wishes to "All" your girls, and we'll see you sometime in November!"

August 5, 2007 - "Way to go, Lindsay! Please tell Molly that we went to see a movie and saw her in the On The Lot promo. My first thought when I saw her sitting on the bed, was, look at that face, she's going to be a star and THEN a second or two later, I said out loud, "It's Molly!" .......Congrats to Kaleigh.....a national commercial....wow!"

August 4, 2007 - "Oh my gosh! I was reading your email while watching TV - as it happens - The Food Channel and I looked up and there was Lindsay! I have seen Molly's commercial several times as we also watch On the Lot Will be on the lookout for Kaleigh as well. Congratulations to all the girls. They are beautiful, talented and precious."

August 4, 2007 - "I wanted to take a moment to give Lindsay a compliment on something I noticed during the show we attended. I like to watch performers when they are not the main focus. Because of that I scanned the "American Girl" girls who were not performing during each of the other girl's individual stories. Time and time again I found Lindsay's "Acting" to be the most natural and convincing. I know from experience that it's difficult to keep the "freshness" of a performance going after you have done the show numerous times. However, Lindsay had me totally convinced that it was the first time she had heard each individual character tell "their" story. Her energy, attentiveness, and facial expressions were just right. Not like she was "Trying" to look interested and eager to hear their stories, but that she truly "Was" interested and eager to hear their stories. And as I'm sure you know that type of "Acting" is often more difficult then being center stage. So I just wanted to pass along my observation. However, as I have said before every single performer was top notch and gave us an excellent show!"

July 25, 2007 - "Dear Ryan Family, Several nights ago, I went to the movies to see Hairspray, and was pleasantly surprised by seeing Molly's commercial. She was great, and looked adorable! ..... a huge congratulations on booking a national commercial! I'll be sure to look out for the other commercials. I've been following your daughters since the ANNIE tour, which I desperately wanted to see, but I wasn't able to as I was out of town when it was here. Anyway, they seem very talented, they must be to be doing what they are! Just wanted to let you know I saw it. Good luck in future performances!"

July 17, 2007 - "Hi Mrs. Ryan! This is Hayden from Charlotte, NC : ) I saw Molly's commercial and she was great!! The first time I saw it I was in a movie theatre and then I saw it tonight while watching "On the Lot" on the FOX. The girls sure are getting a lot of jobs lately! That is just wonderful considering how hard it is to get jobs in LA! ...Well, I sure hope that you and your family are having a great time in L.A.! Take Care!"
Noel, Sherman Oaks, CA
July 1, 2007 - "Hi Kim, I just wanted to tell you that we had an absolute superb time at
American Girl. I thought we would have a really fun time but it was beyond what I (we) had imagined. Your girls were a wonderful thing to witness "Live" after seeing them on a computer screen for soo long. They are gems and I can't even begin to imagine how proud you and your husband must be of them. Your girls and all the other girls in the cast and adults too, gave us an amazing performance as you already know, the dancing, acting, singing were all first rate and very beautiful! And Live Musicians as well what a wonderful treat! Mackenzie loved getting to see and meet all the girls and getting to be the "Star For A Day"! Turns out she is the first one ever for Los Angeles so that was very cool all by itself! Our "Backstage" "Behind the Scenes" tour was excellent and being both a Lighting Technician/Stagehand and Musician in this business for over 25 years, I know my "Backstages" and "Behind the Scenes" and I was quite impressed with everyone and everything. It was a day Mackenzie, Mia and I will remember for a lifetime. And we owe it all to you because we went there to see your girls! During the show Mackenzie (almost 7 years old) became completely transfixed as Molly spoke and sang as "Samantha". Then near the end when Lindsay was Center Stage singing and tap dancing, Mia nudge me and Mackenzie was once again mesmerized but this time her jaw was hanging open as well! So to sum up: Molly, Lindsay and Kim you receive Two Thumbs up and One Jaw Open and I don't think you can get a better review that that! So thank you for all that you and your husband do to allow your girls to perform and share their talents, which in turn inspires other little girls like Mackenzie! Take care and please pass along our applause and thanks to Molly and Lindsay!"

April 24, 2007 - "Hello, my name is Ali and I saw Molly and Lindsay perform in "Annie" a pretty long time ago--(November 2005, actually!!)--but I thought that they were really good. I have checked back on your website and seen all the wonderful opportunities that you girls have had. Congratulations, and I wish you three luck!"

March 31, 2007 - "Hi! My name is Sarah, and I saw Molly and Lindsay perform in Annie when the tour came to Philadelphia (this was a VERY long time ago, all the way back in November 2005!) and I just wanted to say that I really, really enjoyed the show. The whole cast was great, and Lindsay especially was very funny! I loved the part where she was pretending to be drunk like Miss Hannigan, haha! I wish all of them (including the little one, who is just adorable!) lots of luck with their careers!"

December 24, 2006 - "Molly was GREAT! You could see the joy of performing. It was truly a joy to watch her. It was great to see her after the show. I was hoping to see you and Lindsay. So sorry I missed both of you. My friends really enjoyed seeing Molly and going backstage. Thanks so much. I told Molly we could stay in touch through e-mail. It was wonderful meeting all of you. I wll miss you-class will not be the same without Molly and Lindsay. Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year."

December 2, 2006 - "I just saw Molly perform last night in the Grinch and I just wanted to say that she did such a great job!!! I have been following Molly and Lindsay since the Annie tour. I didn't get to see them on the tour but I was excited to find out that Molly was going to be in the Grinch. I even made sure that I saw the white cast so I could see her perform. Molly has amazing energy and a wonderful stage presence!!! Congrats Molly on a job well done!!!! I look forward to seeing future stage productions with Molly, Lindsay, and Kaleigh!"

September 12, 2006 - "Just wanted to say hello and congratulations to Molly! I hadn't
checked out the website since Annie and WOW!!! Your children are soooo talented! The website is awesome. I pray that all goes well for Molly in NY -- and for your entire family. May God continue to bless and keep you all. Hope to see you soon -- Jordan and I are going to try to catch Meet Me In St. Louis."

September 4, 2006 - "Hi! I just wanted to congratulate Molly on her big Broadway debut! That is so amazing! I also want to congratulate Lindsay for making call backs. That is amazing for both of them. You must be thrilled for Molly! I saw them in Annie in LA last year. They were both phenomenal! They are both so talented, and were fun to watch onstage. Lindsay was perfect as Molly. She was so cute! And Molly did great playing Duffy and doing her big solo in "Smile". I know it was a while ago when I saw Annie, but I just wanted to say how talented your girls are. I wish I lived near MO so I could see them at the Muny. Maybe they will be in another national tour soon and I can see them in LA again. : ) . Well, I just wanted to say how amazing I think your daughters are. I am absolutely sure they are going to become big stars someday. I now regret not going to the stage door to meet them and get autographs. That would have been a great memorabilia! Well, Molly, have fun in New York! Your Fan, Jessie"
