Bulrusher

“on the scene is Boy (Rob Kellogg), the Boontling-speaking, guitar-strumming dogged suitor repelled by Bulrusher, whose songs are a highlight of the production.”
“Kellogg manages to imbue a galootishly misguided boy next door with something like an actual soul as he struggles to atone for previous bad behavior now that he finds himself inexorably drawn to Bulrusher.”
“Rob Kellogg infuses the character with raw passion and high energy.”

“A tonal shift seems to be in the works with the deaths of Mercutio and Tybalt, which are initially treated with the same glibness until the creeping tide of seriousness overwhelms the scene.”
“The acting… is uniformly strong… There are Brechtian gestures and live looping and Groucho Marx glasses and plastic fish littering the stage… Tybalt (Rob Kellogg), at one point, does the worm.”

“(Rob Kellogg) will turn a character given the least into the most dimensional presence in a room, will break your entire heart in 3 notes and then heal it up in the next 3, will stay late to contribute to panicked dramaturgical sessions, will somehow make your writing seem a whole lot better than it really is without changing a word…”

“Rob Kellogg shines as Malcolm especially as his insecurity at becoming king grows to determination and ultimately to strength... The meeting of Macduff and Malcolm in Act V is a real treat to watch and stimulated spontaneous applause from the audience.”
