QUILLS
“Joseph Urick’s fearless performance as the unapologetic Marquis is ideal for the material, and he embellishes every syllable he speaks with a sly impishness.”
LAST 5 YEARS
“Comedic highlights include The Schmuel Song sung as a teaching moment to Cathy by Jamie is hilarious”
“Both Urick and Martel deliver winning and charming performances as Jamie and Cathy, respectively. Neither of these characters are free of blame in the failure of their marraige, and yet, they both managed to keep the audience rooting for them to somehow work things out. These two performances were perfectly matched and complimented each other nicely.”

“However, the knock out performance of the evening belongs to Joseph Urick as Barrymore. He is perfectly flamboyant, outrageous and over the top as the ghost of Barrymore should be. He tears into the role with an abandon that is a joy to watch. His performance alone is worth the price of admission.”
“Urick’s blisteringly charismatic portrayal of the ghost of John Barrymore exudes lager-than-life swagger and impeccable comedic timing, channeling all of the nuance and bravado of the Hollywood golden actor with the kind of natural dexterity that makes one wonder of the seance in the first act wasn’t entirely for show.”
“Urick’s portrayal, lush with his mannerism, lankiness, and grand theatrical and comical presence on stage, is what made the production.”
THE SECRET GARDEN #1
THE SECRET GARDEN #2
“As Archibald’s embittered brother, Neville, Joseph Urick shines with the intense clarity of a highly accomplished stage actor. Controlling and commanding in his role, Urick is the perfect antagonist to the production’s young heroine.”
“Although [Urick] had many interactions with the other co-stars, he never had an exclusive relationship with anyone else. The scarcity of a partner helped feed the perspective that Dr. Craven didn’t belong in the house with the rest of the family and staff. Being there seem to make him grow colder the longer he stayed. Urick’s performance made his supporting role a major factor in the show’s success.”
THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO
“Urick captures both Fernand’s agony over his unrequited love for Mercedes and the darker parts of his character….The swordplay, choreographed by Urick, is particularly well-done.”
PAISLEY SISTERS’ CHRISTMAS SPECIAL
“Joseph Urick does a solid job as the Plasticon rep who never appears on stage, but is a clear presence in the show through his demands via the backstage intercom.”
RACE #1 RACE #2 RACE #3
“As Lawson, Joseph Urick is a pony-tailed predator who believes he sees through to the crude, unvarnished truth, certainly about race.”
“Providing the most developed performance, Joseph Urick as Jack Lawson led the cast with snarky and arrogant rhetorical comments laden with politically incorrect descriptions. “
“Urick and White deliver authoritative performances throughout, capturing the shifting dynamics between the attorneys well.”
INTO THE WOODS #1
INTO THE WOODS #2
“In the end, though, it was Joseph Urick and Travis Trevino, as the Princely duo, who stole the show.”
“Little Red’s encounter with the Wolf (Urick) is lusty and pitch-perfect; “Agony” and its reprise, in which the princes sing of the “unbearable bliss” of pursuing women who are just out of reach, are laugh-out-loud funny.”
TAMING OF THE SHREW
“Joseph Urick is also laugh-out-loud funny as Tranio, who takes on his master Lucentio’s identity as part of a plan to win Bianca’s hand.”
ROOMS: a rock romance
“Nobody looks quite like Joe Urick, angular, dashing, goofy, gawky, graceful aquiline, and he turns magical the moment the band backs him.”
“Joe and Maya, one by one, and both together – they rock this room!”
EVITA
“Joseph Urick plays the part of Ché. His strong and expressive voice carries the narration of the play providing excellent timing and continuity to the historic timeline of Evita’s life while punctuating the description of her notoriety in song. Urick portrayed the role…taking ownership and delivering a consistent and impressive performance.”
ALICE IN WONDERLAND
“The Caterpillar (Joseph Urick, equally affable and abstruse) … and avoiding the most ferocious White Rabbit ever (Urick again, but with serious road rage).”
