THEATRE REVIEWS

"Andy Phelan's Malcolm is one of the most striking performances I've seen this year; the tiniest shift in emotion registers on his face in seismic fashion, revealing sorrows that he can barely name"

-David Barbour, Light & Sound America 

"performed without a false step by a superb cast. Eliot is played with heartbreaking vulnerability by Andy Phelan."

- Naomi Siegel, The New York Times

"If "Honor and the River" were to move from Montclair to Manhattan, Andy Phelan just might become a much-awarded theatrical star. He's that exceptional in Anton Dudley's solid new play at Luna Stage Company. Phelan is the main reason why it's the sleeper hit of the season...Even though the playwright carefully envisioned his show, he couldn't have imagined that someone as perfect as Andy Phelan would play Eliot."

- Peter Filichia, The Star Ledger

"Phelan is absolutely extraordinary throughout"

- Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post

"Andy Phelan anchors the entire play magnificently by totally inhabiting Eliot."

- Bob Rendell, Talkin' Broadway

"The cast is exquisite. Andy Phelan is immensely likeable as Emory"

- Martin Denton, NY Theatre.com

“Phelan… charmingly bent and adept at mixing poise and camp, strikes unlikely sparks of romantic truth amid sparkles of frolicsome artifice”

-Adam Feldman, Time Out New York

"Andy Phelan shines as a transvestite ingenue."

- Sandy MacDonald, The Boston Globe

"The cast is excellent. Andy Phelan as young Nat has a gift for bringing the audience into his confidence and winning them over. This is essential for the play to work."

- Anna Wentworth, Roanoke.com

"Andy Phelan, one of our most exciting young actors, excels as his assistant who believes all too staunchly in Galileo. We’re always glad when F. Murray Abraham returns to the stage, but the day will soon come when Phelan is just as anticipated."

- Peter Filichia, The Star Ledger
