John Lariviere, Talkin Broadway
“Bobby Cassell is marvelous as Quasimodo. His lumbering gate and thickened speech capture the outward appearance of the hunchback. In contrast to his physicality, his clear, strong tenor voice shines through in moments of song, and there is an innocence to his portrayal that is quite appealing. “
Bill Hirschman, Florida Theatre On Stage
“Cassell holds the show together effortlessly as a young man whose good looks would normally ensure success in a shallow world, but whose deep empathy and questioning intelligence put him at odds with society"
Aaron Krause, KrausesConstructiveCriticism.com
“Cassell excels. That’s true whether he’s hunched to one side, speaking in a meek, hesitant voice and his face contorted or confidently singing or speaking in brave, confident tones while standing more upright. Cassell’s singing voice stands out; he’s able to hit high notes and sustain them as well as convey the emotions behind the lyrics. The actor never settling for just showing off a splendid singing voice.”
Hannah K., Coffee and Games
“Actor Bobby Cassell pulls at your heart stings in his portrayal of Quasimodo. In his moments on stage, Cassell leaves us in pure awe as he alternates from speaking in Quasimodo's slurred and slow speech to belting out the true emotions of Quasimodo's heart in songs like 'Out There' or 'Man of Stone.' Cassell's portrayal stirs every emotion of the heart from pity to happiness, and to heartbreak that feels so human and so real.”
