"Michael Minarik as Jacques, who may just be giving the male musical performance of the year here. "
"Michael Minarik has tremendous depth of emotion, and his rich voice is a treat"
"He is that rare actor who brings genuine emotion to the stage and when he reaches his breaking point you find yourself tumbling gently after him."
"Minarik’s acting is compelling and his singing is deep and rich and mesmerizing."
"Minarik is wonderful as Jacques. He had a tremendous voice and brings the right combination of confidence and self-doubt to the role"
Comment
MICHAEL MINARIK currently resides in Manhattan, NY. He was born in Fairfax, VA and lived there until he left to attend James Madison University. After majoring in Public Relations and Business, Michael left school to join the National Tour of THE MUSIC OF ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER, where he sang the "Phantom Duet" and "The Music of the Night" (then later on starring Michael Bolton).

From the moment you opened the show, you were absolutely perfect in the role – your characterization, your fine voice, your depth of emotional portrayal – we’re looking forward to watching you as your career goes forward. We’re with you! All good wishes.
