“Sean Davis steals the show as the Emcee of this club”
Cabaret 2023 Review
“Sean Davis of Derby leads the excellent cast in the role of the Emcee. Davis played this role at Fairfield Center Stage, as well as Mark Cohen in “Rent” and the title role in “Jack in the Beanstalk” at the Downtown Cabaret.”
Cabaret 2023 Review
Sean Davis, last seen as Mark Cohen in DCT’s critically acclaimed 2022 production of Jonathan Larsen’s iconic musical “Rent” is the ideal candidate to play the pivotal role of Jack. He’s assured. He’s committed. He’s charming. He’s animated. He’s panto-ready. He also has a Disney plus quality about him (perfect for this sort of entertainment) that he uses to full advantage while tackling the many dilemmas and surprises of the “Beanstalk” story.
– Jack and the Beanstalk 2023 Review
“Playing the now-iconic role of Mark Cohen, Sean Davis is the perfect fit to bring the character of the young filmmaker to life. He’s charismatic. He’s confident. He’s personable. He’s driven. Acting wise, he taps believably into Cohen’s psyche and delivers a fascinating performance that is so true to the show’s sense of time, place and story. He also nails all of the familiar character traits that Larson set forth for Mark. Vocally, he imbues Mark’s many songs with a rich-sounding musicality that is direct, immediate and refreshing. His knowledge and understanding of the “Rent” material also fuels and ignites his feel-good portrayal of the East Village filmmaker.” — RENT at The Downtown Cabaret Theater; 2022 Review
“The casting of the charismatic, highly-animated Sean Michael Davis in the role made famous by Joel Grey in the original “Cabaret,” the 1972 film adaptation and the subsequent 1987 Broadway revival, is a stroke on Newsom’s part. He was born to the play the part and play he does. It’s a showstopping character turn fraught with real emotion, real imagination, real charm, real bawdiness and real dimension. As “Cabaret’s” mischievous Master of Ceremonies, Davis welcomes us into the world of decadent Berlin and its shameless sexual haven, eerily, sweetly and seductively. He smiles. He dazzles. He shines. He sparkles. He flirts. He cajoles. He manipulates. He fascinates. He seduces. He teases. He surprises. He looks right through you. He gets you all hot and sweaty.” — Cabaret with Fairfield Center Stage; 2019 Review
