HEATH SAUNDERS AS guy
“Heath Saunders cuts into the ballads with ache and yearning, modulating easily to gentler caressing, even crooning tones or letting loose with rocking snarls. They alternate comical diffidence with tentative cock-strutting as they are confused, allured, and eventually immersed in a romance that is as much artistic as hormonal with the Girl”
“Heath Saunders [as guy] and Julie Benko as Girl are an appealing pair”
“there’s so much music to enjoy –– [in particular] Guy’s solos”

Heath Saunders as Jesus
“Heath Saunders’ Jesus has your heart from his very first note.”
“Heath Saunders gives a heartbreaking and powerful performance as Jesus.”
“As Jesus, Heath Saunders has the luminous, otherworldly beneficence you’d expect from a messiah… you can feel the humanity living alongside the divinity.”
“Heath Saunders is a brilliant Jesus. His belting includes piercing high register notes that suggest he possesses vocal chords of cast iron. It’s a commanding multi-dimensional performance that Saunders delivers with gripping conviction. Seeing and hearing his Jesus may not evoke a religious experience in the viewer but on a dramatic and musical level Saunders is astonishing.”

Heath Saunders as Feste
“The standout of the show was Saunders as the fool Feste. In a crazy, topsy-turvy world, Saunders provided a surprisingly grounded presence, especially coming from a fool.”
“But it’s Saunders who owns the night. Whenever he shows up, it’s like someone gave you a key to the Admirals Club, and you can finally hear yourself think.”
“Of especial note are Heath Saunders’s Feste and Heath Saunders’s voice, of which I could have spent all night listening to and felt it time well-invested.”
Directed by Marisa Michaelson
Heath Saunders as Performer
“15 members of Constellation Chor, an improvising vocal ensemble, sing and whisper through acoustic megaphones. The vocal harmonies were sometimes so astringently captivating, I was convinced they must have been carefully composed. Not so.”
