“David Cangelosi is simply the best Mime I have ever seen or heard, his approach refreshingly three-dimensional and varied.”

“Tenor David Cangelosi…sings the rôle more comfortably than many Mimes heard in recent years. Cangelosi’s Mime is like a live wire, showering every scene in which he appears with dramatic sparks… his use of text throughout the performance is masterly…his vocalism is gratifyingly fluent.”

“The role of Mime is unquestionably David Cangelosi’s signature role.”

“David Cangelosi’s lustrous Tenor tones were conveyed with complete control as the character Mime… he obviously relished the potential of this multi-layered role…a ‘tour-de–force’ performance.”
