“Nicholas Ian is a treasure. He sings beautifully, plays the flute, is skilled at comedy and transforms into a wicked drag queen […] Nicholas makes ‘Turn Back O Man’ all his own and one of the highlights of this production.”
—Chicago Theatre Review, Colin Douglas
—Third Coast Review, Doug Mose
“Nicholas Ian’s ‘If Ever I Would Leave You’ displayed remarkable emotional depth in the Lerner and Loewe standard.”
“Nicholas Ian is a total hoot as Carlisle — he eats and leaves no crumbs with his larger-than-life performance.”
—Broadway World, Rachel Weinberg
—Broadway World, Misha Davenport
“The intimate scene is directed and acted so well… Ensemble member Nicholas Ian [is] particularly effective in elevating the scene.”
—“The Scene”, Shaw Local, Regina Belt-Daniels
“I particularly enjoyed Nicholas Ian as Neleus, the statue in the park… Ian is a joyous dancer, much poised.”
—Chicago Theatre Review, Colin Douglas
“…as Captain Lennox, Nicholas Ian, whose incomparable voice is deserving of a starring role in the future.”
—Chicago On Stage, Karen Topham
“…an energetic and unabashedly queer take on the family patriarch by Nicholas Ian.”
—Third Coast Review, Anthony Neri
“The acting all around is so compellingly funny, not least on the level of body language. Nicholas Ian, who plays an expressively queer version of the wan vamp-doctor Carlisle, moves in such a comically frenzied way it looks cartoonish and skeletal.”
—Broadway World, Zac Thriffiley
