What the Critics Are Saying About…

STEVEN YUHASZ – Director

 

THE KING AND I - Ogunquit Playhouse

 

“The Ogunquit Playhouse strikes gold. Director Steven Yuhasz does an amazing job of not only managing all these people, but also bring out great performances and keeping the action moving. This production wisely remembers that the story, the love, and the humor are what’s important. He has…successfully given new life to an old classic, and done it in the best possible way.”

“Powerful. Breathtaking. Sophisticated. Stunning. Artistically crafted.  Utilizing Jerome Robbin’s original choreography…was nothing short of brilliant. The frightening demise…of the young lovers…is completely horrifying and believable and sets the stage for the climax of the production.”

Fosters.com

  

“Steven Yuhasz…has wisely chosen to stick with the original choreography…his approach is traditional in everyway…and has directed a winning cast.”

The Wall Street Journal Online

 

“Lush…exotic…majestic beauty. The King and I is a breathtaking production… directed by Steven Yuhasz.”

MaineToday.com

 

“In a show this huge it's so easy to have unexpected things happen or get the cast off track, but director Steven Yuhasz keeps the plot, cast and 19 musical numbers well in hand. Rodgers and Hammerstein would be rightfully proud of the production.

LOVER, LIAR, LADY…The Women of Kander & Ebb - New Provincetown Players (Conceived and Directed)

 

"Steven Yuhasz and the New Provincetown Players have staged a robust and original revue...I advise you to see this production while it's on the Provincetown Stage."

Cape Cod Times

 

"To his credit, Yuhasz has avoided shoehorning the songs into a contrived narrative...it's a show that's all about the songs and they just flow from one to another.  The show is simply sensational; the New Provincetown Players are truly blessed."

Provincetown Banner

 

“The concept of presenting over thirty songs without any context or connecting material is a bold one, but Yuhasz has created an order of songs that is well thought out and the selections keep up an entertaining pace.”

Provincetown Magazine

BERLIN TO BROADWAY WITH KURT WEILL: A MUSICAL VOYAGE -

Riverwest Theatre, NYC

 

“In Riverwest’s new production of Berlin to Broadway with Kurt Weill: A Musical Voyage, a revival of the 1972 production, director Steven Yuhasz has developed an interesting and enlightening format that compresses the material using representative songs more or less in sequence and a definite theme evolves.  This allowed Mr. Yuhasz to show the wide range of Kurt Weill’s material in a new, fresh approach which he staged with a high degree of skill and vigor.”

The Villager

 

“Director Steven Yuhasz has rearranged the songs thematically rather than chronologically which allowed Mr. Yuhasz’ fluid staging to segue from one musical number to the next.”

The New York Guide

 

CROSSTOWN RHYTHMS - Laurie Beechman Theatre

 

“Crosstown Rhythms at the West Bank Café is one of this season’s Cabaret delights. The musical numbers staged by Steven Yuhasz are exuberant and flowing, while his directing in the sketches are fast paced and lively entertainment.”

Backstage

 

BAD HABITS - Riverwest Theatre

 

“Steven Yuhasz has directed these plays (Ravenswood and Dunelawn) with an uncluttered and imaginative eye for comic shtick.  Both teeter on the edge of the absurd and Yuhasz wisely avoids the temptation to use broad extremes simply for the sake of comic affect.”
