“– look for his name and plan to see whatever show he gets cast in next. “
– The Gabber, 2023
“One thing that makes this performance exquisite is the sheer breath-of-fresh air quality about Dylan’s portrayal. You feel his ache, his heart, his joy, and his pain all in a span of 65 minutes. The performance is so grounded in humanity that you absolutely cannot look away.”
– Broadway World, 2023
