"Von Essen
carefully toes the line of Tony's emerging
maturity, as the ambitious young man ready
to leave gang life but destined for tragedy.
He shows a confident commitment to the role
and brings a youthful yet solid voice."
- Ann Miner,
TalkingBroadway.com
"Taking top vocal honors is the Tony of Max
von Essen, who has only to open his heart in
"Something's Coming" to lift ours."
- Christopher
Rawson, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
"(Von
Essen) is
playing Tony in this new Pittsburgh CLO
production and he is, without question, the
strongest Tony I've ever seen: a thrilling
voice and the ability to make Tony's
unearned, enthusiastic optimism believable."
