“Rj shines as the debonair and showy candlestick.”

“. . . tremendously funny with on-point comic timing.”

“Terrific as the solicitous maitre d’ . . . creamy French [ accent ] and lusty eyes.”

“The star of the performance is Twoey [ Audrey II ] . . . an undeniable feat of artistry.”

“It’s when Rj Pavel’s Lumiere and Alan Hoffman’s Cogsworth are on stage that this production is most alive. The pair carries much of the performance with their brand of high energy and flair.”

“Rj needs to be noted for the duality of his Tiny Tom and Officer Barrell split portrayal . . . Pavel creates a sharp delineation between the pair . . . he holds his own against Officer Lockstock, rather than just perform assists and backup . . . as it is so often played.”
