“Roe is quite simply brilliant.”

“Chris Roe is quite simply brilliant in this one-man show. He plays seven very different characters with such distinctiveness that there is never any doubt which role he is inhabiting at any moment.”

“Masterful… seven distinct and specific voices”

Absorbing, Clever, Great acting, Enchanting, Entertaining.

See it if you are ready to be transfixed by a masterful performance and design. Chris Roe absolutely kills it with seven distinct and specific voices.

“Another world… magic is most certainly possible”

“The first thing that needs to be said about Whales & Souls, and the first thing you notice upon walking in, is that it is a beautiful production. From Jonathan Parke’s eerie sound design to the stunning shadow projections made from Emily Palmer’s paper artistry, this show is aesthetically stunning. From the moment you enter the deep blue light of the theatre (designed by Marciel Irene Greene), you instantly feel as though you have been transported to another world where magic is most certainly possible.”

“The stellar acting shines…"

“The stellar acting shines… this liveliness should be brought to New York stages more often.”

“Chris Roe is downright…puckish.”

“Roe is absolutely delicious.”

"The actors are exquisite..."

"The actors underBryan Fonseca's deft direction pace and dodge around the confined space, retreating to their corners between bouts, er, scenes. Their interactions are exquisite."

"Amazing... very special"

“The actors are all amazing, and create a very special ensemble. Chris Roe makes an easy to follow and heartbroken Hamlet.”

"...perfectly cast as The Prince of Denmark"

“Chris Roe is perfectly cast as The Prince of Denmark... a wiry, brooding presence with palpable intensity and an electric intelligence which plays at levity while never surrendering the character’s own self-absorption.”

“Knock out cast”

"Chris Roe, who shone in Phoenix’s recent production of Spun, is very convincing as weak-willed, presumably bisexual John, who remains likeable despite the fact that his wishy-washy indecisiveness is so maddening. Though annoying, one can’t help also be sympathetic with his character’s refusal to choose between being gay or straight or be identified by any label."

“…an impressive showman and musician.”

"Roe was equally dynamic as both an actor and singer in his characterization of older brother Jesse, a high school dropout who left home to escape his dysfunctional family life but returns to confront those issues that have left him lost and damaged. Also an impressive showman and musician, Roe accompanied himself and Ermel on an electric percussion guitar."

Jesse, Spun: A Rock Musical

"Thankfully, actors Lisa Ermel and Chris Roe, as the brother-sister pair in this two-hander, forge an authentic sibling bond. Their journey together from estranged siblings to reunited rock-group is touching."
