Acting/Musical Theatre Reviews
"Gregory Jon Bonin as Aleksander Molokov has an outstanding
baritone voice, and his performance is one of the highlights
of the evening." [David Brooks
Andrews in a review for Chess for The MetroWest
Daily News]
"The most fun comes from the villains, two of them,
one for each superpower: Gregory Jon Bonin is a formidable, and
devilishly charming KGB agent and Robert Case is hilariously underhanded
as the wheeling and dealing American operative. Their duets are musically,
as well as dramatically thrilling." [Beverly Creasey in a
review of Chess for Theatre
Mirror]
"He hits a vocal home run throughout the show, especially
with "Edelweiss." [ Frank O'Donnell in a
review of The Sound of Music for Motif Magazine]
"Befuddled and patient social worker,
Jack is well played by Greg Bonin. ... Greg's interactions
with the four residents is warm and touching as Jack brings
out the best in them." [Tony Annicone
in a review for The Boys Next Door for Theatre
Mirror]
"The two splendid leads are played by Greg Bonin as
Harold and Kathy Donahue as Marian. They are both triple threat performers
and their acting, singing and dancing in these two roles are topnotch. Greg
bounds around the stage as the energetic conman who can charm the money right
out of your pocket. ... He pursues his lady love in "Marian the
Librarian" where she ignores him by stamping the library books but it
is his transition from the cad to a man who falls in love for real this time
that will move you to tears when he realizes it in "Till There Was You" reprise." [Tony
Annicone in a review for The Music Man for Theatre Mirror]
