Reviews David Allen wrote of Dallimore after her casting with John Waters as the stars of The Addams Family (2013), John Waters and Chloe Dallimore have both carved out a place for themselves as icons in Australian showbiz – and more specifically they are icons of the Australian musical theatre. Their resumes are spectacularly diverse. Between the two of them, they have played some of the greatest roles ever written for the stage. Mel Brooks the writer/creator of The Producers commented to Dallimore in the role of Ulla, "I love what you're doing in the show. Love your comic timing. The way you say you're going to belt [a song] and you belt." Her previous roles have included serving on the National Performers Committee, involvement in Federal Council AGMs and negotiations with producers regarding Performers Collective Agreements.
