"De Luca is a terrific performer possessing all the chops a lead role demands, and he earns every laugh when suddenly switching voices and personalities mid-mambo."

"Ogunquit’s contemporized version is even more of a triumph, and the production number 'Step Out of Your Shell' performed by Buddy, Miss Lemon, and the Fantasy Warfields is the show’s anthem."

"Jeff McCarthy, a seasoned theater veteran, makes the most of his portrayal of the obtuse Dean Warfield. He does show his musical comedy chops as with the 'Take the Stage' production number."

"Further out, the cast soared through the “Nutty” run [and] Elena played the Kelp/Love love interest Stella, whose role has been refreshed to emulate a sharp, young professor."

"De Luca charms anew by way of some classic physical and verbal shtick, as well as in tunes with a heart-strings-tugging quality. But it was in the moments when the potion wore off and he melted down into Julius that had the crowd laughing the hardest."

"The show's ensemble is a mix of athletic looking standouts and center stage beauties. The ensemble tunes and dancing are spectacular."
