Reviews

“Apparently, Mr. Blocker can act in any position.” – The New York Times, Anita Gates

“At least an HBO Special” – Show Business Weekly, David Hurst

“What a delight to watch even villainous characters imbued with so much life and charm.” – Backstage Magazine, Mark Peikert

“Incisively funny! Extended parody of Steinbeckian portentousness–the results are priceless” – LA Weekly, Bill Raden

“His physicality both incredibly precise and completely natural, a kind of second-nature inhabitance that was a joy to watch and deeply revealing. ” – Las Vegas Weekly, Jacob Coakley

“He is also a master of physical comedy. Most impressive, however, is his command of voices. He hits all the right notes of ditziness and poignancy as protagonist Viola Haygood, a southern belle who is a cross between Blanche DuBois and Scarlett O’Hara. He’s equally believable as Viola’s erstwhile boyfriend, good ole boy Jimmy; her long-suffering mother Donna, and African American tavern proprietress Odessa ‘Big Otis.’ He even acts out a June bug and provides verbal sound effects throughout the play.” – BroadwayWorld.com

“Unique and utterly brilliant.” – The Philadelphia Bulletin

“Fascinating. Mr. Blocker showcases his ample talents while keeping the audience on the edge of their seats.” – Theatre Mania
