"This sense of the unreal is bolstered by the recurring appearances of Jupiter, the king of the Roman gods, at the stage’s periphery. Played with solemn imperiousness by Marcus Nance, Jupiter, for the most part, simply observes, taking on the role of watcher until compelled to intervene."

"Marcus Nance’s Jupiter and Rick Roberts’ Duke remain compelling throughout. In the second act, Nance’s appearance as Jupiter with the wings of a bird made me sit up immediately and pay close attention to him and how that moment is staged."

"Marcus Nance is suitably frightening as Prince Bolkonsky, Mary’s demented, domineering father, and as Bolkonsky’s son and Natasha’s fiancé Andrey. Nance, wielding his huge bass voice, reveals in Andrey the same uncompromising nature as Bolkonsky."

"Marcus Nance believably creates two exciting and different characterizations in a dual role as Andrey and his old father, Bolkonsky. At the end of the second act, his Andrey may seem cold-hearted in responding to Natasha. However, at least Nance made me feel that Andrey’s reaction and motivation are valid because he has been wronged."

" The rich bass baritone of Marcus Nance is so sensual and deep that he conveys a lotharian domination that is inverted to uproarious effect,.before reverting to heartbreaker status."

"On the male side of things, Nance convincingly plays the dual role of the stiff, cold soldier Andrey, Natasha’s fiancé, as well as Bolkonsky, his own crazy demanding father."

"[Marcus] Nance, however, is the star here. His performance is fabulous, otherworldly yet revealing the dawning humanity of the creature as he finds first his body and then society. He is hard to look at, particularly in early scenes, yet he always amplifies the pathos of the creature’s predicament without descending into caricature. Forget all memories of the green guy with the bolts in his head."

"Marcus Nance’s performance as the Creature is absolute perfection. Nance is wholly grounded in the moment and embodies many feelings and emotions ranging from pity, pathos, regret, and vengeance."

"Marcus Nance is captivating as the creature. I was so transfixed by his portrayal during the show, that it was only after that I began to consider the physical toll a role like this must take on the body and the athleticism and dedication required for it. The character's innocence turned to anguish is captured with beautiful nuance. "

"I have known Marcus Nance as a supremely suave and elegant singer so his outing as Victor Frankenstein’s “Creature” (as the programme bills him) came as yet another revelation.

He manages to be supremely creepy, even terrifying, while remaining utterly sympathetic.  "

 “Marcus Nance gives the production’s standout performance as the corrupt Judge Turpin: with his stunning singing voice and commanding physical presence, he is horribly convincing as a man who aborts justice and tramples morality…”

“Mr. Nance’s operatically trained bass voice was forceful and he was given the opportunity to further command the stage during his often cut number of self flagellation, “Johanna.” Nance’s inner turmoil was palpable and given depth to yet another demented mind in this dark tale of Sweeney Todd.”

 “Marcus Nance has a set of pipes that can fill a stadium. His vocal performance as Judge Turpin is wonderful and sends shivers down your spine. Every time he enters the stage, the audience is hooked, and he keeps their attention with ease.”

  “ Bass Marcus Nance is utterly convincing as Malcolm, both in his youthful innocence and his subsequent disillusionment.”                                                                                                                                                           -

“In the hands of Toronto bass-baritone Marcus Nance, Malcolm emerges as the one memorable character in the show. Nance’s deep resonant voice gives the character a commanding presence but his performance also reveals the pain and vulnerability of a man stuck in limbo.”                                                                                                                                                           -
