What Critics have said:
"Guadan is exceptional, bringing a much-needed violent vivacity (and a pierce-perfect singing voice) to Fagin and a sense of macabre comedy to early Oliver owner, Mr. Sowerberry." - Talkin' Broadway
"The star is arguably Garrit Guadan's Fagin . . . He is in-your-face fabulous." -nytheatre.com
"Guadan is gorgeously androgynous, aptly conveying his character's ambiguous morality . . ." - BroadwayWorld.com
"As Fagin, the cross-dressing, drug-dealing, brothel owner, Garrit Guadan performs admirably, bringing a touch of humanity to what could have been a mere grotesquerie." - the off-off Broadway Review
