"Finally, Matt Magnusson is hilarious as Hanschen, releasing his sexual tensions in the bathroom or preying upon his sexually confused friend Ernst (Christopher Higgins) like a vampire."
-TheatreMania
"...Magnusson matches Mohebbi every step of the way, albeit as a considerably less complicated character (Jack just wants to get laid), that is until circumstances place his previously carefree existence into considerable peril. Following the triple-threat’s recent seductive turn in the musical Spring Awakening, Magnusson’s work here reveals an actor whose striking good looks and ability to be constantly “in the moment” bode well for a stellar stage and screen career ahead."

"As to this production, the ensemble are astounding...Matt Magnusson, Michael Haller, Zach Spound and Michael Byrne are all terrific under Israel's meticulous direction."
-BROADWAYWORLD
"Magnusson’s vocal and guitar finesse are revealed to perfection in the role of narrator Jewell..."
-STAGESCENE LA
"A simple lyric like “Deep in the land of the hollows an’ creeks, If’n you git lost you git lost fer weeks…” quietly eases the audience into the story; it’s haunting melody first sung delicately by Jewell Estes (Matt Magnusson) accompanying himself on guitar before strings and other voices melt together to layer in the sophisticated textures that characterize Guettel’s compositions."
-MUSICALS IN LA
"In song as troubadour Jewell Estes, Matt Magnusson, has a vocal style akin to that of Harry Chapin that adds dimension to his songs. Adam Guettel’s wide-ranging score effectively taps bluegrass and American roots music, plus elements of classical, to create an authentic backwoods/down-home sound."
