AWARDS, NEWS, & REVIEWS
DC Metro Arts for Sweet Painted Lady
There are two reasons to see this show. Emily Deveron Vere Nicoll (which is a lot of names) and Michael Perrie Jr. They play the Lady in Blue and Jack respectively (and Michael also wrote the piece). Their performances are fantastic… Michael sinks into madness with such small steps and around such tight corners that you take the journey with him without thinking there is really anything wrong. Until you realize that he’s lost it and you wonder how you hadn’t seen it coming.
DC Theatre Scene for Sweet Painted Lady
[Perrie, Jr] is a triple-threat actor/playwright/musician, so in addition to crafting the text — as well as the sound design — he takes center stage in the role of Jack. It can be quite compelling to see an actor perform his own writing, and Perrie is up for the challenge.
ShowBizRadioNet for You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown
Even in this dynamic cast of excellent local performers, there is still one standout. Michael Perrie, Jr is obviously destined for great things. His presence and ease on stage are at a distinctly professional level. He absolutely steals the show with his comedic, over-the-top and yet subtlety real portrayal of Schroeder and vocals, best highlighted in “Beethoven Day,” that are nothing short of perfection.
NY Theatre Wire for American Star!!! The Musical
Most endearing are a young protestor called “Occupy” and a Michael Jackson aficionado who goes by “LLMJ,” in tribute to the fallen star. The charm of these characters is likely due to their admirable portrayals by Michael Perrie Jr. and Brandon “SNGDNC” Mellette, respectively.
