“The late four-star U.S. Army general and former Secretary of State Colin Powell once said: “A dream doesn’t become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” An individual who is the epitome of this quotation is Robbie Simpson.”
“The best work comes from Robbie Simpson, who shows a keen understanding of high farce, as the scheming bellhop Nicholas Beckett.”
“Robbie Simpson portrays the protagonist, Pip, with such consistency and confidence. Simpson plays off of his fellow actors very well and the audience can see Pip’s growth as an individual throughout the course of the play thanks to Simpson’s tremendous acting skills. His emotional performance is believable.”
“The magnetic Robbie Simpson excels in the difficult role of Alex. Mr. Simpson skillfully humanizes the catalyst who causes turmoil. The rapport between him, Reilly and Haagenson is palpable.”
