"Rounding out the trifecta is the incomparable Barry Mulholland as Aslaksen. Even when playing less-than-admirable people, it is as difficult to dislike him as it to keep your eyes from what he always brings to the table." -- League of Cincinnati Theatres
JULY 2025
"If you think of Cincinnati Opera’s summer festival as a wonderful, once-a-year banquet, adding a musical like “Fiddler” to this season’s mix was like topping off a delicious feast with a favorite dessert....Astute Cincinnati theatergoers will recognize a trio of Cincinnati acting mainstays in the cast: Jim Hopkins, Phil Fiorini and Barry Mulholland..."

"From the stupendous mass choreography of the entire company for the opening number "Tradition" to the heartbreaking finale "Anatevka," this three-hour production lands solidly with powerful, evocative emotions.
Since its earliest days, Cincinnati Opera has been accompanied by the renowned Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra. Conducted here by Levi Hammer, the complement of musicians is probably three times the size of orchestras that typically accompany Broadway musicals, and their support is glorious from start to finish."
-- Rick Pender, Talkin' Broadway
"A must-see! Max Hopp leads an incredible ensemble.... Extraordinary singing, acting, and dancing by the entire cast.... Cincinnati Opera accomplishes the perfect match for theatre and opera lovers alike."

"An excellent time at the theatre both for those who have seen the 1954 film and for those who haven't. With top-notch directing, a well-written story, and superb performances from a cast of five incredibly talented artists, you will not want to miss out on this thrilling ride." -- Behind the Curtain Cincinnati

REVIEW: Beware Of Missing Out on 'Julius Caesar' at Cincy Shakes - League of Cincinnati Theatres (leagueofcincytheatres.info)
"From the moment Barry Mulholland enters, there is an obvious shift. In addition to being a force of nature all on his own, Mr. Mulholland displays palpable chemistry with each person who shares a scene with him. He embodies all that is Caesar and the audience is just lucky to be along for the ride."

Well, the theatres are still closed and the world is on hold, so I'm shootin' some hoops, and doing a LOT of reading (and a lot of pushups).

Just underway with rehearsals for Hamlet at Cincinnati Shakespeare Company, to be followed by back-to-back-to-back productions of Lauren Gunderson's gorgeous piece The Book Of Will, then Born Yesterday, and the stage adaptation of the classic Paddy Chayevsky film Network. The cherry on top of this magnificent season comes next spring, with the title role in Mike Bartlett's Charles III.
It promises to be a year to remember.
