-NYTheater.com

J. Robert Spencer offers a wry balance as the reserved, almost taciturn Nick Massi.
-New York Post

J. Robert Spencer has a touching vulnerability as Nick Massi.
-Daily News

As Nick Massi, J. Robert Spencer has a direct, honest presence. Relatively passive all along, he unleashes raw, riveting fury in the show's strongest confrontation. Spencer also realistically represents thousands of rock 'n' roll casualties who don't find satisfaction in drugs, women and international popularity.

J. Robert Spencer is a Vital Presence as Nick Massi.
-The Star Ledger

J. Robert Spencer finds a world of depth with Nick Massi.
-Toronto Star

J. Robert Spencer gives hints of the pent up emotions inside the strong, silent character of Nick Massi.
