North Carolina Observer Review
"...Michael Minarik portrays the Phantom with such vulnerability and humor that it is easy to forgive his sins"
"Minarik’s Phantom speaks volumes with his body, most achingly when Christine touches him tenderly for the first time and begs him to remove his mask. Throughout the show, his demeanor with Christine has an adolescent sense of innocence, awkwardness and discovery that makes his plight as an outcast feel universal"
