Toby Blackwell, B.U.P.E.

ONE MOMENT, PLEASE

Blackwell is as funny as he is sexy. If he didn’t have such a spectacular voice–which is easily as beautiful as Brian Stokes Mitchell’s or Norm Lewis’–he could have a career as a stand-up comic…He’s a one-man variety show waiting to happen.”

– David Hurst, Show Business Weekly

BITTER

”Mr. Blackwell’s comments…are pithy and fun, and the parody songs are truly inventive and cleverly funny. By the way, this lad’s lush, colorful vocals are amazing – some day he simply must do a serious cabaret show! I’ll be first in line for a reservation.”

– Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online

RAGTIME

“The show is heavily dependent on the acting and vocalization of the actor portraying Coalhouse; in this production, Toby Blackwell shines. His deep, rich voice is stirring, while he gives Coalhouse an understated, self-confident charm…”

– Mark S.P. Turvin, Arizona Regional Theatre Critic

RAGTIME

“Blackwell is the show’s soul, as his character fights for what’s right, although with questionable tactics. Blackwell also offers the evening’s most stirring solo, ”Make Them Hear You,” as well as the most memorable duet, ”Wheels of a Dream"

– Max McQueen, Get Out AZ

RENT: THE BROADWAY MUSICAL

“Understudy Toby Blackwell…did a fine job with the role.”

– Carrie T. Gruman-Trinkner, Green Bay Press Gazette

ONE MOMENT, PLEASE

I saw this show a few weeks back, and hope you get a chance to see it. Lean, tall and handsome, Mr. Blackwell presents a show that will have you begging for more. You will love him!”

– Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline Online

RAGTIME

“Coalhouse Walker and Sarah are the most sympathetic characters in this piece, and you can’t help but fall in love with both of these individuals as performed by the remarkably terrific Toby Blackwell and Carly Hughes. Both Blackwell and Hughes have huge vocal talent, and they use these voices to enhance their already wonderful acting.”

– Matthew MacDermid, Talkin’ Broadway
