RAVES FOR DAVID AS ZAZA IN LA CAGE AUX FOLLES

--> 2016 connecticut critics circle nomination lead actor in a musical

"Among the many excellent performances here, two are clearly standout, and David Edwards plays them both. As Albin, he is loving and vulnerable. As ZaZa, he is charming and seductive and suggestive and naughty. "
-- Bruce Bloom, The Scarsdale Inquirer

"...he warms up with a stirring "A Little More Mascara"...before reaching the act one finale number, "I Am What I Am...." David Edwards' rendition is all you could ask for, both hard-won and heartbreaking. But the real key to this actor's portrayal is the warmth that his Albin displays for both Georges and Jean-Michel."
-- Zander Opper, Talkin' Broadway

“...superb and poignant…’I Am What I Am’ is his song of truth, and Mr. Edwards delivers this anthem with brilliant and heartfelt humanity, as he does his first act set piece, ‘A Little More Mascara.’ Mr. Edwards is a consummate and sensitive actor, and his portrayal of Albin is a moving and memorable one.”
-- Lee Davis, The Southampton Press

"...warmly sung, breathlessly danced, and most important, truthfully acted."
-- Joe McDonald, The Rockland Reporter

“…simply brilliant…he delivers with a passion and a feeling I have never seen or heard equaled. This is a consummate display of acting.”
-- Roy Bradbook, Dan’s Papers

"The role of ZaZa/Albin demands a bravura performance and Edwards comes through."
-- Chesley Plemmons, The Times-News

"Mr. Edwards gives his character nuance, humor, sentiment and a fabulous dressed-to-kill strut."
-- Terry Joshi, Travelhost

"He gets both the humor and the pathos of Albin...both a mensch and a mother."
-- Jacques LeSourd, Gannett Newspapers

"David Edwards infuses Albin with humor and pathos."
-- Amy Beth Arkwy, The Westchester County Weekly

“...nothing less than marvelous....”
-- Charles Lane, South Shore Press

"David Edwards is a wonder..."
-- Don Collester, Journal America

"...stellar..."
--Amy J. Barry, Connecticut Critics Circle
