"Mitchell spends the night transforming from character to character, and there are points when you think there's another actor in the show. From O.J. Simpson to Marion Jones to Barry Bonds, his attention to detail and character development is impressive at any level. In the intimate Snapple Theater, it's extraordinary. |
"Mike Mitchell, Jr. lends a more immediate form of comedy to the cast; he has his best moments in short scenes. His imitation of hyperactive boxing promoter Don King demands attention and his Marion Jones must be seen to be believed." "Mike Mitchell Jr. (Isiah) is a talented singer and moves well, but his characterizations of the well-known athlete give a context to the performance that a sports fan can really appreciate. Meantime, his ease and fluidity on stage immediately resonates with the theater aficionado." |
"Mike Mitchell, Jr. has appeared locally in stage and television. His uncanny Barry Bonds singing "I Don't Get Booed in San Francisco" was a highlight of the show. Mitchell also impressed the audience with his work as Isiah Thomas, Michael Vick, Kobe Bryant, and Don King. his numbers were very deservedly well-received."
"It is clear that actors Mike Mitchell, Jr. and Karleigh Chase love their characters. And they make the audience love them as well. They bring out the texting, OMG, quick banter and short attention span you might expect of today’s adolescents. But they also imbue their characters with emotion and wisdom far exceeding their age." |
"In this play about human connection, Mitchell and Chase create a palpable bond between their characters. When they finally touch, there's an electric spark between them. Both new to the Orlando theater scene, the actors have charisma to spare and give polished performances that never resort to cliché." |
