“The actor cast as Billy Bigelow shoulders the bulk of this show both musically and dramatically. McDermott, whose brilliant performance reveals an actor of considerable range, nuance and vocal prowess… The aforementioned “wow’s” are a natural response to McDermott’s splendid tenor voice, which he shades and uncoils with intelligence.”
– Rick Rogers, The Daily Oklahoman
“McDermott appears born to both act and sing this role….But when he burst forth in his strong tenor/baritone with such glorious sound and extended phrasing he fills the auditorium with the full measure of Billy Bigelow’s passion, heart and dreams.”
– Clif” Warren, The Edmond Sun
“You’ll go a long time before you hear another tenor as good as Sean McDermott in the role of Billy Bigelow.”
– Joan Gilmore, The OK. Journal Record
