"As Freddy, Harris Doran does an excellent job, filling easily the scuffed shoes of Norbert Leo Butz, who co-starred in the original and went on to star in the national company. His singing voice is strong and true... Mr. Doran matches Mr. Piscopo in comic takes and establishes his own comic identity." - Lee Davis, The East Hampton Press & The Southampton Press
"Harris Doran, as the rough and very ready Freddy Benson, brings frenetic energy to his role and he was undoubtedly the star of this evening as he had the audience in fits of laughter." - Roy Bradbrook, Dan's Hamptons Paper
"From the show's beginning, there is excellent work going on [from] Harris Doran, who plays Freddy. Mr. Doran's overall charm makes Freddy adorable, whether he's pretending to be a prince's deranged brother or a heartbroken serviceman in a wheelchair." - Anita Gates, The New York Times
"Doran is a revelation, committing fearlessly to "Move Closer," a harrowingly honest song. The cast give committed, fiercely brave performances."
- Patrick Lee, Theatermania
"Doran never condescends to or judges Jerry, but unlocks all the pent-up longing and simmering loneliness that made him who he is; he also refuses to settle for easy answers, guarding certain game-changing secrets (the true nature of Jerry's sexuality chief among them) with a suffocating intensity."
- Matthew Murray, Talkin' Broadway
"...both Arbogast and Doran are strong performers. Doran, in particular, has a little-boy appeal that make his dangerous undertones feel even more shocking."
- Julia Furay, CurtainUp
"[A] moving performance from Harris Doran as the tormented Jerry."
- Ron Cohen, Backstage
"Harris Doran is outstanding at capturing the tortured heart of Jerry. Doran's portrayal is honest and he does a great job playing such a complex character. He moves easily from rational adult to the childlike qualities of someone with emotional problems. Doran has a beautiful voice and I was really moved by him in the songs "I Can Teach You" and "Love/Poison."
- Roger Nasser, NYTheatre.com
