Alex Haines is a Hudson Valley Musician | Artivist | Mentor, and grateful to be entrusted as part of several local projects invested in building community through music.

In a performance that is noteworthy throughout her time onstage for its truthfulness and emotional authenticity, Haines delivers ‘Climb Ev’ry Mountain’ not as a showpiece but, rather, with the grace, wisdom and nurturing spirit that shapes the drama of the sequence.”

“The show stopper of the production is Alex Haines as The Mother Abbess. Haines plays her part with a perfect mix of authority, larceny, joy, maturity, and childlike wonder. Her conversations with the nuns and Maria bring out a humanity and warmth not often seen in the character. It is her rendition of the classic Climb Every Mountain that leaves the audience riddled with goosebumps and chills. She performs the number from her heart, singing it with passion and love both to herself and for Maria, not in the over-the-top manner we have become accustomed to hearing. She alone is worth the trip.”
