Reviews

Everything’s Ducky at St. Louis Rep, Cincinatti Playhouse and La Mirada Theatre

Book/lyrics by Bill Russell and Jeffrey Hatcher

Music by Henry Krieger

"Mark Chmiel is a one-man rep company."

‘Providing many of the show’s true highlights, however is the hilarious chameleon Mark Chmiel."

"But a tall, lanky singer/dancer/actor, Mark Chmiel, really sparkplugs the whole evening. Whether kinging, queening or swanning, whether dancing with marvelous grace or impossible faux klutxiness, Chmiel dominates the stage like a reborn Danny Kaye, possessed of body language so witty and subtle that he seems able to dim or raise the lights with a foot turned in or out."

Harmony at the La Jolla Playhouse

BOOK and LYRICS by Bruce Sussman MUSIC by Barry Manilow

--St. Louis Post-Dispatch --Back Stage West --The Riverfront Times

"The six troupe members (Danny Burstein, Thom Christopher Warren, Mark Chmiel, James Clow, Steven Goldstein, and Patrick Wilson) are individually and collectively sublime in their solid characterizations, lovely harmonizing, and dexterous vaudeville shtick."

Wizard of Oz

--Back Stage West at the Paper Mill Playhouse

"Few of us are going to tolerate radical innovations from the Cowardly Lion, the Tin Man or the Scarecrow, although Mark Chmiel, who plays the man of straw at the Paper Mill, does an artful job of asserting his own personality and respecting the established boundaries."

My One and Only

"And as the more mach variation of the old Tommy Tune role, Mark Chmiel is the missing link between the rubber-limbed boisterousness of Ray Bolger and the silken ease of Fred Astaire."

--The New York Times at the Carousel Dinner Theatre
