on The Cradle Will Rock
“That’s not to say the performances lack urgency or passion. Anthony Johnson tears into the role of Larry Foreman, a union promoter from Steeltown, U.S.A., whose rallying cry ignites a riot that lands some unusual suspects in night court. Johnson’s fiery portrayal captures the starving-class anger that drove composer Marc Blitzstein to create ‘Cradle’ - and hints at the effect of the musical’s legendary first performance.”
Julie York Coppens, The Charlotte Observer
“An extraordinary performance by Anthony Johnson anchored the entire show.”
Dr. Cynthia Gendrich, Wake Forest University
on The Blue Lagoon: A Musical at the 2011 Hollywood Fringe Festival
“With direction as spot-on as Kenny Howard’s, performances as delightfully tongue-in-cheek as those of Shayna Albertson and Anthony Johnson (each a highly attractive New York-based triple threat blessed with terrific comic chops and powerful pipes), lines as B-movie memorable as “Face the facts. We’re someplace where ships don’t go,” and musical hooks as catchy as Padget’s, The Blue Lagoon: A Musical does precisely what it sets out to do. It entertains.”
“Albertson and Johnson have bright musical theater careers ahead of them.”
Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA.com
“Albertson and Johnson carry the show with a pair of lively and uninhibited performances. They are simply wonderful on that stage.”
Danny Rangel, LATheatreReview.com
“The silly show is dotted with songs such as “(Even Though We’re Related) My Heart Palpitates When I See You,” which, while musically simple, are excellent for Johnson’s pop tenor.”
