What's Wrong With Angry? Reviews

"The ensemble does fine work all around, but Heymann is particularly affecting as the troubled John." -LA Weekly

"Equally fine is Heymann, who brings out multiple dimensions in his role, tempering the moments when John could almost be viewed as an insensitive lout with signs of this guy's inner struggles." -Backstage

"L.A. newcomer Heymann matches Taylor in his touching, even heartbreaking work as John, whose popularity at school makes coming out seem the farthest thing from possible." -StageSceneLA

"Miles Heymann countered him (Daniel Taylor) as the naturally charismatic, John Westhead." -LA Theatre Review

"But it is the remarkable performances of Taylor, Heymann and Schumann that make this a sparkling revival of a workable play. Taylor’s irresistibly anxious and excitable Steven is a teenage Jack McFarland with substance, while Heymann is able to play the big man on campus as well as the lost soul seeking a companion." -Frontiers LA

"Heymann, with his puppy eyes and Disney boy band physique, successfully straddles John’s dual position of the gentleman archetype and the elusive object of gay desire." -xQsi Magazine
