at Pittsburgh Musical Theater
"Amid the heavy leadup to the Crucifixion, Jesus Christ Superstar provides a bit of a break with “King Herod’s Song.” Taylor Issac Gray as the over-the-top Herod – a glittery combo of Elton John and Liberace at the piano – mugs up a storm, mocks “the King of the Jews,” and oversees a gold-clad, four-piece band for the bouncy number, providing comic relief among the architects of Jesus’ downfall."
at Pittsburgh Musical Theater
"Taylor Isaac Gray’s Jerry Lee Lewis, giving the performance of the night, was brash, boisterous and mesmerizing on the piano (sometimes literally on top of the piano)… He literally brought the whole crowd to their feet and dancing throughout the whole theater with a performance of “Whole Lotta Shakin’ Goin’ On” that won’t be forgotten anytime soon."
at Northern Stage
"A good part of the drive came from the wild man of Taylor Isaac Gray's Jerry Lee Lewis. Gray, also the show's music director, more than tickled the ivories, he pounded them with flair (and accuracy) - representing Sun's new star."
at The Argyle Theatre
"But it's Taylor Gray, who also serves as music director, really driving the show. As Lewis, his athletic pyrotechnics on the piano (yes, he does that bit playing behind his back) bring down the house in 'Great Balls of Fire.'"
at GEVA Theatre Center
"... Gray hurls himself into the role of the piano-pounding Lewis... like a reckless rebel with a cause, he hammered out notes in a fiery, over-the-top performance that showcased the dexterity of his hands and feet as they jump to the keyboard in gleeful, manic abandon."
