Count Danilo
|
"David Edwards, as Anna's love interest Count Danilo, is an attractive foil for Miss Russell. His suave good looks and world-weary manner are what one would expect. But his acting has bite to it that gives the character nice sharp edges and keeps it from being too 'musical comedy.' With an impressive voice and endless charm, his Danilo is just right." -- Ernie Dyer, Daytona Beach News-Journal |
President John P. Wintergreen
|
"David Edwards, a handsome and vocally-adept leading man, ingenuously reveals John P. Wintergreen to be exactly the manipulatable two-dimensional manekin which today's politicians pay PR firms zillions to disguise." |
Roger de Bris
|
"David Edwards as Roger milks the role for all the political incorrectness that makes "The Producers" so refreshing..." |
Froggy LaSoeur
|
"David Edwards is spot-on as the very British Froggy..." |
Cockey |
”For his leads, Miller has done very well, casting the accomplished actor David Edwards as Cocky and the inimitable living treasure George S. Irving as Sir. Edwards has the unenviable task of trying to keep us from noticing that every inch of his role was tailored to the outsized personality of Anthony Newley. By the time he sings his heartfelt ‘Who Can I Turn To?’ at the Act One finale he has succeeded in doing so, and when he leaps into the exhilarating ‘Nothing Can Stop Me Now!’ in Act Two he has made the character his own….TWO EXCEPTIONAL STAR PERFORMANCES.” |
BITTERSUITE |
"...the strong vocal performance of David Edwards is an impeccable asset. He renders difficult, dramatic solos with sensitivity and feeling, and finds every laugh in the comedy numbers." |
Boolie Werthan |
"He's a talented and dependable actor and he seems particularly well-suited to playing avuncular Southern gentlemen." |
Guy Penelle |
"A stunning showcase for Edwards."
|
TR |
"David Edwards creates a hilarious caricature of war-loving Teddy Roosevelt..." |
Col. Nathan Jessop |
"Talk about a versatile actor!" |
Kit Gill |
“Superb...stellar...David Edwards is brilliant as Christopher ‘Kit’ Gill, the emotionally unstable, failed actor son harboring resentment against his late actress mother. Edwards can even sing cocky. He struts, punches the air and sings with a glee bordering on giddiness."
|
Sheridan Whiteside
THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER |
"Perfect, absolutely perfect..." --Rick Mellerup, The Sandpaper |
Jeff Moss |
"David Edwards has a voice that'd charm the bees away fromany and all honey." |
Howard Liszt
|
"...performing with a kind of restraint powered by high test fuel..." |
Jimmy Smith
NO, NO NANETTE |
"David Edwards is quietly superb as Jimmy, the moral man with a heart of gold; he plays his part subtly and straight, not as parody." --Barbara Adams, The Ithaca Times |
Sid Sorokin THE PAJAMA GAME |
"His comedic flair combined with his beautiful singing voice and blond good looks have made him immensely popular..." |
John Dickinson |
"David Edwards' assured portrayal allows you to see him (Dickinson) not as a villain or opportunist, but as a man with convictions, wittily expressed in the song 'Cool Conservative Men.' His defeat has more poignancy because he has been so sure he would win." |
Hysterium
A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO FORUM |
"Edwards contorts his funny face to get the right 'I'm-in-trouble' grimace. With a vintage whine, he shows he's the mater of exasperation, too |
Felix Ungar
THE ODD COUPLE |
"Perfectly portrayed. 'The Odd Couple' stars Surflight favorite David Edwards and Walt Willey of ABC's 'All My Children,' who share a unique chemistry that adds to the show's already hilarious charm." -- Laura Gooley, The Islander |
Chuck Baxter |
"In the starring role, David Edwards is wonderful as a slightly naive but smitten insurance accountant whose image is only 'half as big as life.'" |
Oscar/Vitorrio Vidal/Charlie |
"All three suitors are played with flair and excellent comic timing by David Edwards, who is blessed with the type of Broadway leading man good looks and voice that aren't all that common these days." |
Nigel |
"David Edwards plays the despicable nephew to a tee and sings the show's most difficult song not only with ease, but also while crawling all over the set, seemingly in peril of his life." |
Lumiere
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST |
"David Edwards’s skirt-chasing Lumiere is splashy..." -- Aileen Jacobson, The New York Times |
THAT'S LIFE |
"David Edwards' timing and phrasing are flawless, and his moving rendition of "Schoolyard in Brooklyn' is one of the highlights of the revue." |
TOUR DE FARCE |
"Virtuoso...Edwards gets surprising mileage from the nebbishy character of Herb Gladney...his senator and cameraman are humorously broad...and Edwards is impressive giving such flavor to the essentially vanilla bellhop Bill...the pairing of Johanna and Edwards strikes sparks..." .....James MacKillop, Syracuse New Times |
Edward Middleton |
"Edwards chews up the scenery with marvelous aplomb as the hero. His character never uses one word where two will do and has the heightened tremor in his voice to convey his love for the heroine as well as condemnation of himself for his failure. It is a wonderfully controlled and effective performance." |
Hermocrates |
"David Edwards has an unforgettable presence as Hermocrates..." -- Gordon Spencer, Shepherd Express Metro |
Moonface Martin |
"David Edwards mugs his way through the role of Moonface Martin with droll humor and wit..." -- Louise Causey Lewis, The Island Packet |
