What the critics are saying . . .
“Rudy Guerrero is a national treasure. He assumes identities in the flash of an eye…there’s pure gold in Rudy’s multiple transformations…Guerrero cascades into a one-man Marx Brothers farce.”
-Barry David Horwitz, Theatrius

"In a remarkable display of acting, Rudy Guerrero also plays a hilarious over-the-top, gay TV psychic, who provides a welcome injection of show-stopping humor to the production."

"The foolproof Rudy Guerrero is absolutely unforgettble as Tick/Mitzi. His stage presence solidifies him as a strong leading man in a dress."

"As Frank Strang, Guerrero adds complexity to the role and he handles a difficult accent with considerable style. Guerrero shifts effortlessly from the staunch and bullish Frank Strang to a respectful and effeminate young nurse. And we barely recognize him, as he transforms into Alan’s favorite horse, Nugget, with his bulky, muscular chest wrapped in leather straps."

"A hilarious Rudy Guerrero becomes a star as the ever-adorable Tacho, searching for a happy uptick for his life as a playboy adventurer and café manager. He inspires the ups and downs of the mission and keeps the action on the upswing."
— Susan Dunn, Theatrius

"Another musical homerun is hit by Rudy Guerrero as Stone’s once partner, now bitter rival, the surly, bulldog-like detective Munoz, swishing about in samba and salsa moves while singing with snappy air.“

"His cast is a talented lot and Rudy Guerrero is exceptional; exuding the hucksterish charm and underlying danger of Wilson Mizner."
— L. Pierce Carson, Napa Valley Register

"Rudy Guerrero portrays the United States as an aggressive, megalomaniacal Ken Doll who is buffed, demanding, and sees himself as a highly effective and skillfully manipulative take-charge kind of guy: real top in the bedroom. Guerrero's physical charms do a great deal to hold the audience's attention."

"Body builder cousin Julio (an electric turn by Rudy Guerrero) steals every scene he is in with a performance that's both gutsy and sincere."

"Rudy Guerrero was dazzlingly fetching as the cool absurd machismo Herve and then did a surprising turn in the second act as sincerely un-suave Guy."

"Dance captain Rudy Guerrero shines in the role of Marcus Lycus, proprietor of the best little whorehouse near the Forum of old."

"Guerrero shines as Leading Player. The perfect match of actor and part, he seems born to star in this role. His character is enticing but enigmatic enough not to give away what awaits Pippin in his Grand Finale."
— Traci Newell, Los Altos Town Crier

"Rudy Guerrero gives a top grade performance and makes Prince Dauntless a fine foil for DeLaria's Winnifred. He has fine vocal chops in his duet "Song of Love" and is ingenious in "Man to Man Talk.”
— Richard Connema, Talkin' Broadway

"Rudy Guerrero enlivens his every scene with his preening, English-mangling Dr. Caius, played with a homoerotic roving eye that adds a blithe twist to the mistaken marriages at the end. Guerrero's Don Juan is astonishing after his arch, gay coxcomb Dr. Caius. His Don Juan is every bit as much an egocentric dandy, but rakishly macho with an almost palpable lust for the ladies.”

"Guerrero is magnetic as Anthony, a frail shadow of a man who obviously relished his ability to charm. His determination to exert some control over his death, while he still has the strength, is as vital as his body is weak. His relationship with Jue's Thomas is a beautifully textured interplay of gentle concern and manipulative control."
