Jeff Gonzalez manages to effortlessly transform himself into three very different roles. He is hilarious as Miss Bingley, Charles Bingley's vain, jealous, and snobbish sister. He reveals the envy that Miss Bingley exhibits for Lizzy due to her affections for Mr. Darcy. Gonzalez also takes on the role of Mr. Wickham, an officer in the militia, who instantly forms an attachment with Lizzie. He is charming, confident, and egotistical as Wickham, effortlessly embodying the character. He also steals the spotlight as Mr. Collins, Mr. Bennet's distant second cousin and a member of the clergy who is completely devoted to Lady Catherine. Gonzalez plays the role with a lot of comedic flair and is definitely a standout." |
The other female roles are divvied up among the men, all of whom are clearly having a grand time, with Jeff Gonzalez taking top honors in the drag department.” Jeff Gonzalez has the meatiest role in the play, switching from a Lord (and friend to Bertram) to Diana. His portrayal is singularly transforming, giving the play back some of its swagger—and definition as a tragicomedy.” |

Perhaps the most rewarding surprise in the show is Jeff Gonzalez’s Max, in a performance that sort of sneaks up on you as the evening progresses…Gonzalez manages to show an out of control Max in full panic mode who later morphs into a model of competence and aplomb.” Jeff Gonzalez delivers a strong and beleaguered Max who gets to unleash his inner ‘divo.’” |
Gonzalez is unsettlingly real in his excellent portrayal of prickly Germanophobe Dietrich.” |
