“PATTERSON commands the stage with equal parts gravitas and grace.”

– St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Man of La Mancha

“The real standout is JAMES PATTERSON.

It’s a wonderful performance as the main adult character of the show, matching the strength of the writing for the part.”

– broadwayworld.com, Footloose

“Patterson's ‘Baby Talk to Me’ has an unexpected poignancy... Put on a Happy Face,’ a song that cries out for parody, gets an unadorned performance from Patterson that builds on his comic gifts.”

– Boston Globe, Bye Bye Birdie
