Reviews
  • U-T San Diego:
    Downsized ‘West Side’ Shines:
    Lamb's Players Theatre has created an intimate, visceral staging of the Broadway classic.
       "...a believably wounded Shaun Tuazon-Martin as the vengeful Chino." - Pam Kragen
  • San Diego Reader:
    Four-Alarm Blazer:
    Lamb’s Players continues the streak with West Side Story 
       "The set has something I don’t think I’ve seen before: Patrick Marion’s nine-person band’s on two levels, stage right, and provides strong support.
        As does the sprinting/soaring cast, especially Patrick J. Duffy (Bernardo), Daniel Kermidas (a powerhouse as the uneasy Action), Jesse Abeel (Riff), Christopher Lesson (Officer Krupke), and Shaun Tuazon-Martin (Chino)."     - Jeff Smith
  • Examiner:
    Lamb’s “West Side Story” Rumbles With a Sense Of Urgency
       "...a great musical and energetic production worthy of seeing again, "West Side Story" is a story for the ages." - Carol Davis
  • San Diego Story:
    Gang-intensive take fuels Lamb’s’ very good ‘West Side Story’
       "This show features 22 actors, a relatively large cast for Lamb’s’ smallish performance space. But there’s something about playing at floor level that fuels the immediacy of the message (witness the company’s positively transcendent Les Miserables from last year). Under these conditions, and amid Smyth’s expertise, this West Side works just fine, thanks. It draws from arguably the world’s greatest playwright, and like arguably the world’s greatest playwright, it isn’t going away anytime soon. Very, very good." - Martin Jones Westlin
  • San Diego Gay & Lesbian News:
    THEATER REVIEW: "West Side Story"
        "Outstanding in the cast are Alves as Anita – a real spitfire, who has played the show on tour. She has great lung power, loads of attitude and is a fine dancer, just right for Anita. Daniel Kermidas (a recent transplant from New York) gets a real star turn as Action. He, too, has played “West Side Story” on tour. His moves and mugging on the winning “Gee, Officer Krupke” practically steal the show. And the boy can dance!
        Jesse Abeel’s Riff, leader of the Jets, Rosen’s deeply human Doc, Christopher Leeson’s Officer Krupke and Tuazon-Martin’s vengeful Chino also turn in memorable performances, and the whole cast deserves bravos for their fine dancing." - Jean Lowerison 
  • San Diego Downtown News:
    West Side Story” never disappoints
       "Many leaving the matinee of Sunday, June 21, were seen wiping their eyes. This is a great means by which to introduce the young people in your lives to American classic musical    theatre and to tie the form with the great classic dramatist who endures centuries later." -- Charlene Baldridge
