REVIEWS - ACTING

REVIEWS - WRITING

"Stealing every scene he appears in, is Charles Osborne, a comedic actor of the highest caliber." - HOLLYWOOD SOAPBOX

"
A natural comedian, Osborne almost runs away with the show." - THEATERMANIA

"You've never fully experienced Shakespeare until you've seen Love's Labour's Lost in the round with an aggressively flamboyant Don Adriano de Armado [Charles Osborne]." - GOTHAMIST

"The Dom DeLuise-esk (that’s a good thing) Charles Osborne brought peals of laughter to the whole audience." - FRONT ROW CENTER

"Charles Osborne nearly steals the show with his kitchen-tongs-for-castenets flamenco." - MEATPACKING DISTRICT

"If Osborne continues to impress as much as he does in this production, he will, no doubt, make it all the way to Broadway. - ​BROADWAYWORLD.COM

"Charles Osborne does an amazing job of capturing [Gene] Kelly’s signature moves from the picture, and also captures the audience’s heart immediately." - STAGE MAGAZINE
​

"Osborne's imperiousness pairs well with his muscular dancing." - PHILADELPHIA ENQUIRER

"Osborne is brilliant in the role and is funnier than the actor in a current revival of the musical on Broadway." - MODESTO BEE​

"Charles Osborne... handles the drama well, and has mastered [Gene] Kelly's trademark moves and poses." - TALKIN' BROADWAY

"Osborne... wrings this material for all it's worth, devising a scene... so vivid, I wanted to give him a rescue inhaler." - THE INTELLIGENCER

​"It's easy to see why any girl would fall for Osborne as the character. He fits the whims and fancies of his character perfectly, and his dancing is pretty sharp, too." - BROADWAYWORLD.COM​​

​"Charles Osborne offers a convincing [Gene] Kelly, all toothy grin, tight T-shirt, and muscular dance moves. It's also a grittier Kelly." - BUCKS COUNTY COURIER TIMES​

​"[He] provoked more laughter than any other character... and he led an excellent tap-dance number with the male members of the cast to a greatly developed sequence based on 'Kansas City.' " - CLASSICAL VOICE​​

​"Charles Osborne bring[s] fresh interpretations to... her none-too-bright beau Will Parker. It is impossible not to tap your feet or clap (as many in the audience did) to the exuberant "Kansas City." - SAVOR NC​​
"I knew nothing about people who identified as transgender… mainly I learned what I know through trial and error and sitting through a performance of THE BODY POLITIC... I recently heard Melvin Williams say ‘The arc of the moral universe is long; but it bends toward justice. It’s just that we have to do the bending.’ That’s what THE BODY POLITIC did for me. I believe it can have the same impact on others." - NC STATE REPRESENTATIVE Verla Insko

"It’s a beautiful piece and a deeply inspiring story. And, of course, it navigates terrifyingly relevant and urgent waters. It’s a cry for justice in so many forms, yet it’s also a heartwarming human story." - Oskar Eustis, Artistic Director, PUBLIC THEATER

“This opera has a voice! …Timeless terms that speak to the role of storytelling as a means to understanding.” - BOSTON GLOBE
​

"The cast offered a compelling message through song that moves the discussion along about LGBT issues." - DAILY MAIL, LONDON

"[The Body Politic] resonated with my experience both in this skin and in this state." - INDEPENDENT WEEKLY, transgender critic

"If just one N.C. representative in the audience was affected in the way I was, Hurley and Osborne definitely succeeded.” - DAILY TAR HEEL
