Coleman Cummings brings the swashbuckling goods as the dashing, down-to-earth Prince Eric and is fun to watch as he teaches Ariel to dance as an expression of her true feelings ("One Step Closer"). Mr. Cummings is a fitting match for Ms. Weaver’s Ariel, generating sparks and wonderful chemistry, coaction and proclivity, and both voices meld together with storybook delightfulness. Mr. Cummings solos are also just as euphonious on their own!

- The Show Report, Chris Daniels

Coleman Cummings commands attention as the dashing ‘Prince Eric’, infusing the production with a magnetic presence that reignites even the most jaded hearts’ belief in love. Their on-stage chemistry is palpable, drawing the audience into a realm where dreams are realized and true love knows no bounds.

- Fanboy Nation, R. C. Samo

 

Prince Eric (Coleman Cummings) has a strong voice that is extremely lovely when expressing tender musical moments. He does a good job of making Prince Eric’s desire to wed a mute, beautiful, shipwrecked girl seem connected. We are convinced that he actually values Ariel for more than her looks. Ariel and Prince Eric have great chemistry.

Cummings makes for a wonderful Prince with a fantastic voice. He kept a grounded sense to his character making him real and not just a doll.

Cummings is a very good Prince Eric, his singing and dancing in “One Step Closer” was just lovely.

The chiseled and vocally gifted Coleman Cummings as Taylor/TNT has a soaring pop tenor and glistening six-pack abs.  His angelic face can morph from farm boy to porn idol in a millisecond.

Cummings rises above with soaring vocals so we're never in doubt about the intentions of our protagonist

As Roger, Coleman Cummings delivers an exquisite balance between anger at the world and internalized fear and self-loathing. You can practically see Cummings' heart open and close throughout the show as he struggles with vulnerability and depression.

Cummings and Smash shine individually and dazzle together, sharing palpable chemistry as they tiptoe around the edges of a blossoming relationship

- BroadwayWorld Edmonton, Sarah Dussome

 

Cummings convincingly channels a sensitive alt-rocker from the “MTV Unplugged” days. His plaintive, piercing rendition of Roger’s ballad “One Song Glory” recalls early 2000’s emo-rock sensation Dashboard Confessional

- DC Theatre Scene, Ben Demers

 

Cummings is able to convey the emotional aspect of the songs without forcing growls or voice breaks. His Roger is natural, smooth and his relationship with Smash’s Mimi is authentic.

- The Signal, Emily Nichelle Wolfe

 

Roger played by Coleman Cummings, has absolutely stunning vocal abilities.

- On Stage Blog, Christopher Peterson

 

Coleman’s sensitive portrayal of this beloved character is on-point, and he nails Roger’s haunting “One Song Glory” with power and intensity.

Cummings and Smash ignited fireworks whenever they were onstage,

- The arts STL, Jason Green

 

Cummings has a strong voice with a glaze of roughness totally suited for such songs of longing as "One Song Glory" and "Your Eyes.”

Smash and Cummings make a terrific pair in a drug users' version of "meet cute," "Light My Candle," and spar with equal force in "Another Day.”

- Talkin’ Broadway (Minneapolis), Arthur Dorman
