Evel Knievel The Rock Opera
"Everything about the tale suggested a Heartland Faustian fable, one in which a dark, Black Rider-type Mephistophelean deal maker dressed in a black-leather jacket (Kyle Nudo) offers our jump-suited hero a world of flesh and fame - while he remains a crash away from being dragged down to the underworld. "Evel Knievel The Rock Opera" captures the period's adrenalized vocals, typical of such rock operas as 'Tommy' and 'Jesus Christ, Superstar', and throws in a slight dash of 'Rocky Horror Show' camp." -Steven Mikulan, LA Weekly
"Nudo, wearing a black jumpsuit and a pompadour, is part Elvis, part Liberace -- and quite funny -- as the mythical, all-knowing Father Time." - Jeff Favre, Back Stage West
"A kitschy early rock 'n' roll incarnation of Father Time (Kyle Nudo) taunts Knievel with his own mortality, [and] from its opening power chords, the epic musical never loses thrust as it nails the churning sensibilities -- musical and cultural -- of the 1970s, when Knievel's death-defying exploits captured the world's imagination." - Philip Brandes, Los Angeles Times
Tip - Toes
"Getting there is all the fun, of which there's plenty, starting with Tip-Toes' conniving uncles, played by Kyle Nudo and Richard Horvitz." and "Whether dancing or acting, it would take a hard-hearted cynic indeed to resist show's appeal." - Robert Verini, Variety
"As the duplicitous vaudevillians, Nudo and Horvitz cavort with a Laurel-and-Hardy flair and imbue their soft-shoe duets with style and brisk humor" and "Tip-Toes is a nostalgic and melodic bonbon recalling the simple charms of old-fashioned tuners." - Les Spindle, Backstage West
"Tip-Toes also benefits from the many dances by the cast, most notably those featuring Al and Hen, superbly played by Kyle Nudo and Richard Horvitz, respectively." The two loose-limbed comics and their dreadful vaudeville jokes are the best things in the show." And Tip-Toes "will leave you with a sense of wistful nostalgia for a time that most of us never knew." - Cynthia Citron, ReviewPlays.com

"All of the songs are uproariously funny and on point about dating online... a hysterical look into the world of Internet dating that you canít help but laugh loudly." - Mary E. Montoro, SoCal.com
A most enjoyable, positive, pleasant evening of musical theater. It's no wonder Internet Dating has already been extended three times. The possibility of "Off-Broadway" may loom in their future. "clever, up-to-date and delightful... Great melodies and even finer lyrics... But it is Kyle Nudo who brings his silliness to superb status...
