FULLY COMMITTED
Punch Shaw, Star-Telegram:
"The real show here is Saylor's performance. If you want to see a tour de force..."
Jan Farrington, TheatreJones:
"...as Sam...Saylor gets into a physical and vocal rhythm that’s hyperkinetic and hilarious. Saylor finds space...to give us a glimpse of the real Sam..."
Nancy Churnin, Dallas Morning News:
"...an opportunity for Saylor to dazzle us with his ability to segue swiftly and seamlessly among dozens of parts...
THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE
Zander Opper, TalkinBroadway:
"Saylor is simply sensational...Looking dynamite and performing the drag numbers flawlessly, Saylor allows Miss Tracy Mills to be a mentor...and the results are exhilarating and touching. Saylor is stunning throughout, but the real bonus of his performance is that he brings...heart to the show, as well as more than a bit of levity.”
Karen Isaacs, BerkshireFineArts:
"Russell Saylor is a gem blending compassion, realism, and show business savvy."
Nancy Sasso Janis, Patch:
"Saylor captures both the big personality of the drag persona as well as the quieter person behind the scenes. Watching her train her protege is a riot."
Sherry Shameer Cohen, BroadwayWorld:
"Saylor...give[s] their role value and esteem."
THE HOBBIT
Michael Buzzelli, 'Burgh Vivant:
"Saylor is the right amount of curmudgeon, with a soft sweetness, and childlike wonder."
Sharon Eberson, onStage Pittsburgh:
"Saylor...proceeds to carry the weight of narrator, central figure and ring-bearer like a born denizen of Hobbiton..."
TRIBLIVE:
"Saylor, whose Bilbo is clever, at times reticent and at times fierce...keeps this production rolling."
A NEW MAN
FilmShortage:
"...Charles' mundane attitude gives A NEW MAN a certain layer of depth played to ingeniously by Russell Saylor..."
JWR (jamesweggreview.org), Palm Springs International ShortFest:
"...Russell Saylor is superb as the suddenly born-again, model of confidence..."
THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW
Rick Rogers, The Oklahoman:
"Saylor commands the stage as the salacious but sweet transvestite Frank 'n' Furter, a role that allows this accomplished actor to push the boundaries of taste into an over-the-top performance that crackles with energy."
STRINGS ATTACHED
Isa Goldberg, TheatreLife:
"...Saylor sensitively portrays the father or Quantum Theory, while fortunately injecting some comic relief as well."
SMILE
Marc Miller, NY Theatre Guide:
"(Russell Saylor, excellent), the almost-big-time choreographer, is a beguiling mixture of jaundiced and noble..."
THE LOVE PERMIT
Michael McGonigle, Philadelphia Museum of Art Film Lecturer:
"Saylor is excellent as a character who lives within a world of coping with moral compromising each and every working day of his life."
