THE TOP TEN ACTORS IN REGIONAL MUSICALS (In order of their appearance)

D’ARCY DROLLINGER---SHIT AND CHAMPAGNE—OASIS---he is probably one of the best drags artist in this city and he rocked as Champagne White in this adventure


SAMUEL FAUSTINE—CANDIDE—LAMPLIGHTERS—I had seen this production oh so many times in London and New York and this was best actors to play the role of Candide. He played the role sometimes in a comic vein and then morphed beautifully into a more serious mood, He also had a powerful voice.

RYAN DRUMMOND---NICK AND NORA—42ND STREET MOON---Ryan was a worthy successor to William Powell. He had charming vocal cords in his numbers.
JOHAN BROSCOW---MAX UNDERSTOOD—THE PAUL DRESHER ENSAMBLE---He gave a superb performance as a young autistic Max.

JOEY MCDANIEL—THE ADDAMS FAMILY—PALO ALTO PLAYERS---Joey was a hoot playing Uncle Fester. He was just as good as Jackie Coogan who played the uncle in the TV series.

KEITH PINTO –WHERE’S CHARLEY—42ND STREET MOON---Keith made the role his own playing Charley aun’t. He was a hoot.

JOHNNY MOREN0----ADAM’S FAMILY---SAN JOSE STAGE He was outstanding at Gomez. In fact he was Gomez.

KEITH PINTO---COMPANY---SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE--- After seeing this play dozen times in New York, Los Angeles and London Keith was one of the best “Bobby’s” I have even seen.

JEFFREY BRIAN ADAMS—DOGFLIGHT—SAN FRANCISCO PLAYHOUSE---He was excellent as Eddie. He skillfully played the role of a boy who is not yet a man. He was brash but deeply vulnerable.

JASON GRAAE---SCROOGE IN LOVE—42nd Street Moon---Jason was dazzling as Scrooge. He gave the role a more mellow characterization and he had excellent vocal cords on his songs by Larry Grossman and Kellen Blair.
