CINCINNATI SHAKES HAS BEWITCHED ME: THE COMPLETE WORKS OF JANE AUSTEN (ABRIDGED)

“And Phillips, the production’s sole male performer, tasked with embodying every Darcy, Wickham, Willoughby, Knightley and Wentworth in rotation, often within the same breath (under many, many different hats). As Austen wrote in Emma, “seldom, very seldom, does complete truth belong to any human disclosure,” and Phillips’s ever-shifting, never-quite-pin-downable parade of suitors makes a running joke of that uncertainty.”

“The Lords play up the similarities between young Elizabethan lords and love struck teens well. Other than Shakespeare’s English you could easily place any of them in the Breakfast Club or really any other John Hughes movie.”

Tick Tick Boom BroadwayWorld Review

“However, it is Phillips’ portrayal of Jon that elevates Tick, Tick… Boom! supremely with his unwavering commitment to the role and his incredible intention for each minuscule detail. He also succeeds in the difficult task of embodying this version of Larson and all of his eccentricities that come with his personality and circumstances.”

"Midsummer" is Magical

“So much talent on one stage! The foursome of Hermia (Emilie O’Hara), Helena (A.J. Baldwin), Demetrius (Patrick Earl Phillips), and Lysander (K.P. Powell) is so well cast. All of these actors have pulled new and original takes on these lines and characters, making them fresh. The acting is quite physical, sliding down the entry stairs, lifted as if enchanted (strong corework), jumps, hops, kicks, and tackles. They are such professionals. ”
