What "They" are saying about Reggie Whitehead.........

Portland, ME (75th Anniversary of Porgy and Bess tour  -- 2010)
Sportin' Life, sung and danced brilliantly by Reggie Whitehead, is as close to Mephistopheles as is possible without horns and a tail.

In Lafayette, LA (75th Anniversary of Porgy and Bess tour  -- 2010)
This production's Sportin' Life, Reggie Whitehead, was my hands-down favorite performer.There is much about the character that is repugnant: he is a womanizer, a drug pusher, and a not-to-be-believed conniver, yet there is something likable and even alluring about him.With all the negative baggage associated with Sportin' Life, the role demands quite a performer to develop an empathetic relationship with the audience. Whitehead is completely proficient in his ability to do just that.

In Worcester, Mass (75th Anniversary of Porgy and Bess tour  -- 2010)
Reggie Whitehead gave a slick, Cab Calloway-styled “Sportin’ Life,” and did a great job on “It Ain’t Necessarily So,” and “There’s a Boat That’s Leavin’ Soon for New York.”

In Warsaw, Poland newspaper   (Porgy and Bess Tour 2008)
Reggie Whitehead (Sportin’ Life) is an especially brilliant singing and dancing musical actor.

In Connecticut, News-Times   (Ain't Misbehavin)
While the cast of five delivers energetically, there are two powerhouse performances that lift
the evening to the heights.  Reggie Whitehead is a dazzling performer who's sinuous, dynamic
dancing is a standout turn.

In Miami, The Miami Herald   (Nunsense A-Men)
Reggie Whitehead is a serenely scheming No. 2 as Sister Mary Hubert, and he stops the show with
the gospel-style Holier Than Thou.

In Miami, Miami New Times   (Smokey Joe's Cafe)
Playhouse regular Reggie Whitehead, who delivers Poison Ivy and Spanish Harlem with equal finesse,
is sheer energy onstage, reminiscent in vocal style and energy to the late, great Jackie Wilson.

In Miami Shores, Sun Sentinel   (Pippin)
Reggie Whitehead's sardonic Leading Player is by turns seductive and cynical.  His superb dancing
evokes a puppet-master, tempter, and nightclub emcee.

In Louisville, The Courier-Journal   (Pippin)
As the Leading player, the multi-talented Reggie Whitehead is a natural.  Aided by a straw hat
cane and spats.  Whitehead is a grinning sorcerer, spinning out spells with jazzy, high-kicking
dance numbers and loud, full-throated songs.  And always, about Whitehead's mouth plays that
mischievous, wicked grin, those laughing eyes, the arching, quizzical eyebrows.

In Palm Beach, Palm Beach Post   (Purlie)
Richer performances come from Reggie Whitehead and Gloria Bailey as Purlie's brother and
sister-in-law.  Whitehead's comic moves as the slyly subservient Gitlow give the show some
desperately needed spontaneity.

In Bellport, Long Island  (La Cage aux Folles)
....and all of these colliding personalities, multiplied by the presence of a hyper-hysterical gay
butler who will not be satisfied until he earns the sobriquet of maid (done with wild, scene-chewing
outrageous success by Reggie Whitehead.

In Jacksonville,   The Florida Times-Union (The Wiz)
When Reggie Whitehead first appears as an imperious, purple-caped wizard, singing So You
Wanted to Meet the Wizard, he really seems to possess magical powers.
