“Dance Captain, James Felton II, is a standout in the ensemble in his Playhouse on Park debut. The supremely talented dancer joined West Hartford’s Ballet Theatre Company last spring (2022) and is a treat to watch in this production.” -Nancy Sasso Janis

“Felton’s addition, …feels like salt to taste. The instruction you see in recipes that allows for as much salt as is needed to make the dish just so— Felton provides just enough gracefully melancholy movement to each scene to emphasize the emotion present, or to subsidize it, in some cases.” - Kimolee Eryn

“Zoller and Mintz have choreographed some excellent dance numbers, …especially for James Felton II who portrays a spectral Michael throughout haunting Donnie. Like a musical motif, Zoller and Mintz give him a recurring dance move of him bending and almost shrouding himself that sets up the haunting emotions about to be exhibited.”

“If Donny is haunted by the death of his best buddy that happened in front of him, it is quite literal. The fine dancer James Felton seems to recreate the death showing us how obsessed Donny is with it.’ - Karen Isaacs

“The strong ensemble is led by dance captain James Felton II, who tugs our heart strings as Michael…” -Ariana Steznicky

“…Special mention goes to James Felton II, a superb dancer, who’s shadowing of Donny Novitski provides an inner look into his soul.” - Stu Brown
