What the critics have to say about Brad’s performances

            As Pierce Pearson in the feature fim Filthy Rich Filthy Uncle Phil:

"I still found myself admiring the makers more than I probably expected. That goes for Thomason's performance in particular, because Pierce displays a sweeping arc that takes the viewer from near-total loathing [to the point that he seems irredeemable] to genuinely giving a damn for the poor guy, as he becomes a tawdry example what he originally despised."

Trash City - http://www.trashcity.org/BLITZ/BLIT2233.HTM

“Shallow and uptight materialistic yuppie Pierce Pierson (a nicely annoying portrayal by Brad Thomason)… Pierce makes for a suitably arrogant and unlikeable protagonist; watching this cocky and conniving weasel hit bottom and be subjected to all kinds of painfully humiliating ordeals makes for wickedly amusing viewing.”

The Last New Jersey Drive-In on the Left - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1764311/reviews

            As Robert Chiltern in An Ideal Husband at the Shell Theatre:

"Brad Thomason and Lindy Flowers are standouts as the Senator and his devout and upstanding wife..."

Act Three Reviews - http://dougmarino.blogspot.com/2008/11/ideal-husband.html

"As the upstanding senator, Thomason projects relaxed honesty."

            As John in The View From K Street Steak at Altered Stages:

"The saving graces are its strong cast...Brad Thomason really works the crowd as the  ventriloquist..."

            As Father in Violet at Gallery Players:

            As Ed in Torch Song Trilogy at Gallery Players:

"The cast are fully committed...the appealing Brad Thomason..."

nytheatre.com - www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/torc3883.htm

            As Charles Bovary in Madame Bovary at 3LD Art and Technology Center:

“The production’s main asset is the excellent acting…Thomason is kind, clueless and pompous as the Charles Bovary, the upright country physician. Although the production leaves it to the imagination, one can easily see him crying over the dead body of the faithless wife who has dishonored him.

            As Sheriff Lyle McGee in Lady Convoy at the NYC Fringe Fest:

            As Caesar in Celebrities Shouldn't Have Children at the Gene Frankel Theatre:

 "The energy and enthusiasm Thomason fans have come to expect are evident in     his performance"

NewYorkCool.com -  www.newyorkcool.com/archives/theater_2004_archives.html

 

As Marty in Nine Lives/Divinity Bash at The Pantheon Theater :

“Thomason is exceptional in playing a role that could easily have been lost amongst the other more flamboyant characters.  His character’s search for the perfect work of art is pitch perfect.   Thomason underscores Marty’s frightened excitement while intermittently providing us with humorous glimpses into Marty’s guilt”

Big City Lit - www.nycbigcitylit.com/oct2002/contents/OtherArts.html

 

As Dale in Scenes From A Wake at the Vital Theatre:

“Thomason made an excellent Hank Williams impersonator”

“Thomason never misses an emotional or comic beat”

nytheatre.com - www.nytheatre.com/nytheatre/archweb/mitf_reviews.htm

“Thomason has such a fine easy way with his lines.  Much of what he did was quite funny”

OOBR - www.oobr.com/top/volTen/four/0803Boys.htm

“played to perfection by Thomason”

theatermania.com - www.theatermania.com/content/news.cfm?int_news_id=3770

“Thomason was all that and more, bringing additional humor, vulnerability, and a welcome silliness and lightness to the part”

StoneWall Society - www.stonewallsociety.com/urbanjustboysrev.htm

 

As Jeremy Warrender in A Spider’s Web at The Aurora Theatre:

“Thomason laps up his performance as Jeremy with a disarming, puppy-like innocence”

The Gwinnett Loaf

           

            As Almónd in Looking4sex at Wings Theatre:

"The actors ranged in scope and breadth. The highlights were...the soulful Brad Thomason as the touching Almond."
