"Michael Schimmele has irrepressible charisma and was a standout with his impressive, soaring vocals" 

(The Desert News - Salt Lake City)

​

"Michael Schimmele is a joy to watch. Schimmele has the audience in stitches..."

(Front Row Reviewers)

​

"Michael Schimmele's Roger made for the ideal comic relief, but he sure didn't skimp on the vocal acrobatics, every line he sang got at least one enthusiastic "woot" from the crowd. The dynamic between his bad boy and Kate Cassidy Ryan as Jan was too heart melting for words." 

(Salt Lake Magazine)

​

"Roger, played by Michael Schimmele, was my favorite character and performer onstage. Schimmele as Roger was definitely the comic relief in Roger's group of friends, but he was also an incredibly talented vocalist. 'Mooning was always a favorite song for me, but I loved it even more at this production. I loved Schimmele's high range and personality as well." 

(Utah Theatre Association)

​

"Standout performances include a Piragua Guy who nearly steals the show (sung with impeccable vocals by Michael Schimmele.)"

(Triangle Arts Entertainment - Raleigh, North Carolina)

​

"David Guzman's Graffiti Pete and Michael Schimmele's hilarious Piragua Guy add depth and realness to this story"

(Triangle Arts Entertainment)

​

"There's a playful but touching dynamic between Michael Schimmele as the charming and effervescent drag queen, Freddy, and Bianca Bryan as his supportive and doting mother."

​

"Michael Schimmele is an energetic presence as Freddy" 

(BroadwayWorld.com)

​

"Although the entire cast is strong both vocally and in their acting chops, noteworthy performances include Michael Schimmele's performance as Freddy, specifically vocally and in drag." 

(GayRVA.com - Richmond, Virginia)

​

"From the moment he stepped onstage, my partner leaned over and whispered to me "Watch him. He's going to steal the show." And he did. In a cast of brilliant and experienced performers, Michael was a standout. Even when upstage, away from the main action, somehow you always kept your eyes on him to see what he was doing. And his big number at the end was incredible. We certainly hope that RTP will have Michael back often because he has an incredibly bright future."

(Floyd Taylor, Richmond Triangle Players)
