REVIEWS for HAND TO GOD!

“Bryan’s performance is worthy of Robin Williams at his peak. He’s riveting in the scenes where Jason argues with Tyrone. When Tyrone’s on a roll, he’s a class-A insult comic. He’s one funny puppet.  Bryan does both voices, of course, and switches characters with blinding speed. He’s also simultaneously manipulating the puppet. (Bryan’s display of dexterity is as fascinating as a circus act. You could throw away story and character, and it’d still be fun to watch.)” - THE OBSERVER

 

“I know the theater season is still young, but I can’t imagine seeing a better or more convincing performance than the one Harrison Bryan is delivering each night in Florida Studio Theatre’s Stage III production of “Hand to God”.” - THE HERALD TRIBUNE 

 

“Bryan makes you believe he is this shy, awkward teen ...Yet somehow, he also simultaneously brings Tyrone to a full and very different life. We know it’s just his hand covered in fabric, but Tyrone becomes a fully developed, full-throttle creation on his own. Bryan is playing two vibrant characters at the same time, and while Jason may be physically manipulating Tyrone, it is Tyrone who is controlling the situation.”  - THE HERALD TRIBUNE 

 

"Harrison Bryan gives a virtuoso performance as Jason/Tyrone. It is a physical and technical performance ...a stunning performance, fully up to the huge challenges.“ - TALKINBROADWAY.com 

REVIEWS for Regional Premiere of "Curious Incident"

"Harrison Bryan as Boone will leave you speechless. Bryan’s attention to detail and his shockingly raw performance of Boone’s Asperger syndrome is the crux of this Pioneer performance. ...His authentic self-depiction of Boone’s journey fills you with sympathy, excitement and compassion." -- dailyutahchronicle.com

"Harrison Bryan is brilliant as Christopher. The young actor tackles the role with a vengeance and deeply impresses with his sensitive portrayal. " - Broadway World 

"As Christopher, Bryan is magnetic and spellbinding in his vulnerability. He fully embodies the character of an anguished autistic boy, both in physicality and emotional depth. His matter-of-fact attitude and ownership of his condition make him accessible and leaves the audience rooting for him at every turn." - Deseret News Entertainment 

"Harrison Bryan commands our attention. " - Salt Lake Tribune

"New York-based actor Harrison Bryan makes his PTC debut and offers a powerful performance as the play’s central figure. It’s a tough role that would be easy to drop into maudlin stereotype and Bryan walks the right side of the line creating a beautiful character of incredible depth. It must be an exhausting part to play. Christopher is on stage the entire performance and it is a physical, emotionally draining role. Bryan’s performance alone is worth price of admission." - Salt Lake Magazine

REVIEWS: Off-Broadway @ Atlantic Stage 2: "Brecht on Brecht"

"Then comes the incomparable Harrison Bryan - and what he has done with “Mack the Knife” is a staggering work of genius that rattles the bones. Unforgettable." -- ONE Magazine

"...the unassuming Bryan enunciates each syllable with a deliberateness that essentially forces a fuller appreciation of Brecht’s lurid lyrics...Eventually, though, this haunting vocal restraint gives way to a visceral horror that is absolutely grotesque and mesmerizing." -- TheaterScene.net

"Bryan communicates his growth and change with a building wonder, an ability to break free of his self-imposed cage and his discovery of his own abilities and inner depth." - ENCORE 

"NY THEATRE GUIDE" says...

"Harrison Bryan has created a lovable, charming, geeky misfit who is utterly entrancing. He inhabits the text like comfortable slippers and brings a quirky physicality to the role. He is truly endearing...you can feel (the) optimism and youthful ambition pouring off the stage."

Great Rewiew for Little Shop of Horrors!

"Harrison Bryan’s Seymour is masterful and infinitely lovable. His physical comedy is terrific and he captures character nuances with impressive subtlety, never under or over playing the role. "

Nominated: Best Supporting Actor

This year at The Vermont Theatre Awards, Harrison was Nominated for Best Supporting Actor in a Musical for his performance as Patsy in Monty Python's Spamalot at the New London Barn Playhouse. However, upon further review, the nomination pannel discovered that Harrison's performance took place OUT of Vermont, (for New London is actually in New Hampshire), and therefore became ineligeable for the award - though, he retained the honor of being nominated out of state. 

 

...show business.
