“When I grow up, I’d like to play the role of Scratch – but thankfully until I do, Nico Graves’ iteration of this character will more than satiate your desires. Mx. Graves excels at the physical embodiment of a presumed evil and then just as easily shows us a charming and sensitive side few could resist – excellent work!”
Katrina “Kat” Reynold Behind the Curtain Cincinnati Critic
“The antagonist, Charlie played by Nico Graves, …delivers some of the show’s largest laughs.”
Noah Moore League of Cincinnati Theaters’ Critic
“Nico Graves’s ‘Charlie’ is confident, bold, and multi-layered.
Kirk Sheppard The Sappy Critic
“Rounding out the strong cast is Charlie… Graves delivers both passion and spunk.
