"...the standouts include Nigel Richards as Georg Schmid, a howling
foreshadower of Wilhelm's plight"
Variety 27/04/06
"...the
show doesn't really peak until the end of the first act, in a sequence
where Nigel Richards (dressed all in red by costumer Frida Parmeggiani,
with long hair flowing down one side) belts out the tale of a man who
gave in to the devil while he intertwines with long, elastic bands,
in front of a small backdrop with a painting of a Western canyon, with
the stage populated with blue objects suggesting skulls. Don't try to
comprehend - just appreciate."
The Orange County Register 27/04/06
"...Nigel
Richards will haunt your dreams. Long, jet black hair covering half
of his pasty face, his mouth frozen open in a permanent scream, he is
like a nightmarish figure from the mind of Edvard Munch."

'...Wilson's
intriguing band of kohl-eyed international actor/singers delivers the
ensemble performance of the year, each gifted with an unearthly vocal
range.
Playing a bizarre cross between Boy George and Cesar Romero as The Joker,
perhaps the most jarring performance of the evening comes from Nigel
Richards who, in several roles, all with long black hair hiding half
his face and his mouth open impossibly wide in a frozen grin of an ancient
Noh Theatre mask, appears to simultaneously be channeling the vocal
range of Yma Sumac.' |
