RECENT RAVES ON DAVID'S PRODUCTION OF MESHUGGAH-HUNS AT THE GATEWAY PLAYHOUSE "David Edwards’s direction and choreography are right and bright. " AS HOWARD IN MESHUGGAH-NUNS
"Excellent.... Indominatable....Hang on to singing, dancing all the right moves David Edwards. He delivers." "Possessed of a gorgeous, abundant voice and a twinkling sense of humor, David Edwards as the non-descendant of Franz Liszt more than holds his own in the goofy goings on..." "performing with a kind of restraint powered by high test fuel" ON DAVID'S PRODUCTION OF "Thanks to an inspired cast and direction, the show is funny, engaging and exceedingly smart. "One of the hardest things to pull off in a show like this is a consistent comic tone. Director David Edwards, who was in the cast during the show's belated Broadway opening in 2001, understands just how far to let his actors "This production proves that By Jeeves is more than a musical theater footnote. It's economical to stage and apparently as much fun to perform as it is to watch." AS ROGER DE BRIS IN
"David Edwards as Roger milks the role for all the political incorrectness that makes "The Producers" so refreshing..." "David Edwards is a riot as Roger..." |

now on the boards --> "David Edwards is spot-on as the very British Froggy..."
--Dante J.J. Bevilacqua, MontgomeryNews.com
The raves are pouring in for THE FOREIGNER now playing at the Bristol-Riverside Theatre. In his debut at this longtime Keystone venue David plays Froggy LaSoeur, a crusty British officer with a soft spot for the family at the center of this modern classic.
According to the Bucks County Courier Times, David 'beguiles the audience with sardonic commentary" and "further shines as a more-than-competent deus ex machina bearing dynamite". "The ensemble is fabulous without exception," says Bob Brown of centraljersey.com.
The show runs through Valentine's Day 2010. Tickets can be purchased at the Bristol-Riverside Theatre website.
got david? --> This past summer's taping of MESHUGGAH-NUNS at Queens Theatre will soon be made available on DVD --a cruise ship, a production of FIDDLER ON THE ROOF in jeopardy, and of course, a naggle of nuns all conspire to make an evening of wackiness in the quintessentially Nunsensical style of Dan Goggin, creator of the beloved franchise. His foray into this universe world of nun-foolery can be yours. Order yours at the official NUNSENSE website.

David helped New York audiences ring in the holidays in THE CHRISTMAS VOYAGER at the Westchester Broadway Theatre. This light confection was a tongue-in-cheek look at the Christmas holiday through the eyes of an alien who finds this tradition -- well, alien. The show boasted a host of favorite traditional and contemporary songs and David played a calvade of characters including Dickens, Scrooge, Tchaikovsky and one of Santa's elves. Learn more...
Immediately prior his currently merrymaking endeavor David returned to the city from the Jersey Shore (yes, that one!) after playing a pair of juicy roles this past fall.
He starred in the Kaufmann and Hart classic, THE MAN WHO CAME TO DINNER where he was "...perfect, absolutely perfect, as Sheridan Whiteside," according to Rick Mellerup of The Sandpaper.
Following this triumph he played Felix Ungar opposite Walt Willey's Oscar in THE ODD COUPLE. Walt is perhaps best known for his work on ALL MY CHILDREN as Jackson Montgomery, Surflight Theatre's best-selling non-musical to date.
Summer saw David impressing audiences at the Merry-Go-Round Playhouse in the Finger Lakes during its production of NO, NO NANETTE....
"David Edwards is quietly superb as Jimmy, the moral man with a heart of gold; he plays his part subtly and straight, not as parody."
--Barbara Adams, The Ithaca Times
David's 2009 production of BY JEEVES in Michigan received a nomination for Best Musical or Musical revue for the 2009 Wilde Awards. Named in honor of 19th-century playwright Oscar Wilde, The Wilde Awards were established by Pride Source Media Group in 2002 to honor the excellent work produced by Michigan’s professional theaters. The awards symbolize the close relationship that exists between the LGBT and theater communities.
CALIGULA, by Eric Svejcar got a new reading at New World Stages in Manhattan. In this glam-rock treatment of this historical tale of unbridled sex and power, David played Tiberius, Caligula's uncle and core influence. He rejoined Euan Morton who assumed the title role. Matt Bogart portrayed Caligula's father, Germanicus. David and Matt previously shared in stage in San Diego at the Old Globe in the world-premiere of HIMSELF AND NORA in 2005.
