TESTIMONIALS

​

​

"THE PRODUCTION OF 'NEWSIES' FEATURES MANY ACTORS MAKING THEIR PARAMOUNT DEBUT, INCLUDING KORAY TARHAN IN THE ROLE OF DAVEY...THE ROLE REQUIRES HIM TO BE JUST AS COMMANDING ON STAGE AS PRAKKEN, AND HE EASILY IS UP TO THE CHALLENGE. HIS VOCAL PROWESS ALSO IS A HIGHLIGHT OF THE PRODUCTION, INCLUDING SUPERB DUETS WITH PRAKKEN"

ERIC SCHELKOPF/DAILY CHRONICLE

​

"KORAY TARHAN IS WONDERFUL AS DAVEY. ANOTHER EXCELLENT SINGER AND DANCER, MR. TARHAN BRINGS AN EARNEST, INTELLECTUAL QUALITY TO A CHARACTER THAT MAKES DAVEY A LIKABLE FIGHTER FOR RIGHTS AND A PERFECT SECOND-IN-COMMAND FOR HIS NEW FRIEND, JACK KELLY."

COLIN DOUGLAS/CHICAGO THEATRE REVIEW

​

"THERE'S A PURITY AND AN EARNESTNESS TO TARHAN'S VOICE THAT SUITS THE ROLE, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE UNLEASHES THE GORGEOUSLY SOARING MONEY NOTES IN 'CORNER OF THE SKY.'"

CATEY SULLIVAN/CHICAGO SUN TIMES

​

"KORAY TARHAN EASILY WINS US OVER AS PIPPIN. FROM THE MOMENT THE STORY BEGINS WE ARE ON HIS SIDE; HIS PAIN IS OUR PAIN."
