"a talented actor and magnetic stage presence... when Randall loses himself in one of those Dickensian bouts of rich description, he’s at the top of his game." Buffalo News "Mike Randall's re-creation of what turned out to be Charles Dickens' farewell-to-America tour is a remarkable achievement It honors the honorable man, his crunchy characters and, most of all, the moment." -- Doug Smith, 35-year critic of Buffalo theater, now with the West Side Times. "as Charles Dickens in “A Christmas Carol” at MusicaFare Theatre, Randall hit the bullseye..." Barbara Tucker Tonawanda News ...." the characters came alive with color and flourish....we were transported to Dickens' England and didn't want to come back....Randall's command of the work was jaw-dropping...the characters seemed life-like, as if Dickens himself were speaking of people who had just left the room". Peter Anderson Host Of Time Warner's "Crossroads" "While Randall was physically the only person on stage, it seemed as though a rich cast was playing out the drama...(an) exquisite, moving performance of A Christmas Carol...." Debra Durkee MetroSource |
