Praise for CAMELOT:
“Galen Murphy-Hoffman brings a physicality to his role as King Arthur that not only evokes the king’s boyish side but also presents the reflective nature of a man wrestling between duty and desire, right and wrong. He has a captivating presence on stage.”
—Kim Jackson, RDU On Stage
Praise for PICKED UP:
“Much praise is due...Galen Murphy-Hoffman (“Man 2”) who never [misses] a beat.”
“Hoffman’s performance is perfect”
Praise for NEXT TO NORMAL:
“including father Dan wonderfully played and sung by Galen Murphy-Hoffman”
Praise for HAMLET:
“Galen Murphy-Hoffman gives his strongest performance as Claudius during his soliloquy, beginning on his throne and ending on his knees crying, attempting to pray and ask forgiveness. For just a moment, he becomes a sympathetic human being. His tenderness towards Gertrude is truly loving as he holds her hand and looks longingly at her. Only towards the end does he turn into a scheming villain.”
Praise for ASSASSINS:
“Silken-toned Galen Murphy-Hoffman cuts a would-be matinee idol-dapper figure as John Wilkes Booth, desperately trying to write a self-justifying manifesto for killing Lincoln. His song-battle with Kevin Singer’s resonant Balladeer puts the show on firm footing and Booth’s legacy in a provocative perspective.”
