- THE MIAMI HERALD
- THE VIRGINIA PILOT
"Adam Kaplan gives the best performance, and in the most difficult role... He proves he can hit those high notes, particularly in his showcase, Soul of Man.”
​
"Adam Kaplan is almost more effective in the role of J Pierrepont Finch than was Robert Morse, who created the role and owned it for decades. Kaplan's ambitious innocence is totally seductive."
