Vietgone Press Links:
  • Feature: James Hebert – San Diego Union-Tribune
  • Review: James Hebert – San Diego Union-Tribune
       "
    And what a breakout show this proves to be for the San Diego actor Tuazon, who seems equally at home as the second-generation Vietnamese-American playwright and as a hopeless yokel of a U.S. serviceman who sweetly pursues Tong."
  • Review: David Coddon – San Diego CityBeat
  • Review: Carol Davis – Carol’s Reviews
  • Review: Bill Eadie – San Diego Story
  • Review: Pat Launer – Times of San Diego
      "
    The only local cast member is Shaun Tuazon, who plays five roles — though it seems like more — from the playwright to a Hippie Dude; a Redneck Biker to a shy Arkansas airman. It’s a terrific showcase of malleability and physical flexibility for him, and he gives a funny edge to every character."
  • Review: ErinMarie Reiter – Talk Theatre To Me
       "
    Ko and Levin make the chemistry and the emotional bond that develops between their characters, and their reluctance to speak those feelings lest they make them real, feel genuine.  The rest of the characters are provided by the versatile supporting cast of Tuazon, Coligado, and Kao as they do quick changes and play over a dozen other characters between them."
  • Review: David Dixon – Talkin’ Broadway

Reviews:
  • North County Times by Pam Kragen:
    "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."
    http://www.nctimes.com/entertainment/arts-and-theatre/theatre/theater-review-rent-rocks-with-young-energetic-cast/article_d0394fdb-ff2c-5119-9fac-c0df0a7a5c93.html 
  • 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."
    http://www.jazz88.org/centerStage.php  
  • Charlene And Brenda In the Blogosphere - Charlene Baldridge:
    "We already know he’s an indefatigable, wondrously strong dancer, able to leap onto tall tables effortlessly. He is possessed as well with an undeniable, sweet appeal perfect for Angel."
    http://charleneandbrendaintheblogosphere.blogspot.com/2012/07/sdmt-rent-beautiful-vista.html  
  • San Diego Reader:
    "The show had good energy, some good singing, and some great singing."
    http://www.sandiegoreader.com/weblogs/jam-session/2012/jul/02/rent-boheme/  
  • Review by Rob Appel, San Diego Theatre Reviews:
    "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..."
