Review of Sweet Dreams (1985) by Janet Maslin for New York Times — 19 May 2003

Although the performance is conspicuously prop-heavy, with brittle wigs and an enormous number of costume changes, Miss Lange makes herself a perfect physical extension of the vibrant, changeable, enormously expressive woman who can be heard on these recordings.
