"San Diego actor Shaun Tuazon steps into drag for the second time in three months (he co-starred in Circle Circle dot dot's "Deconstruction of a Drag Queen" in April) as Angel... He's a good singer/dancer and endearingly sweet."

- Pat Launer - Center Stage:
"The one notable and exceptional local is Shaun Tuazon as the angelic drag queen, Angel. This is a high-energy, praiseworthy production, with top-notch singing and a first-rate band. The rented set is outstanding, as is Ron Kellum’s direction."

"Popular, local singer-actor Shaun Tuazon (as a snappy, you-go-girl, Angel) - is remembered recently for his bombastic, coming-out performance in "Deconstruction of a Drag Queen" at the 10th Ave Theatre - now, here in RENT, Shaun Tuazon just continues to get better and better..."
