“William’s a classic misfit with zero social skills, a boy in a man’s body... earnest and smart; they’re on their toes. Mr. Warren was particularly funny in slow motion, movin about, hands on hips, like Mick Jagger... my, he made me laugh when he danced... “Magic Foot” is a standout!”
-Nancy Stetson, Florida Weekly

-Kay Kipling, Sarasota Magazine
“All the actors are first rate... Bruce Warren as Barfée has a kind of pre-eminence. Warren’s Barfée is a paunchy misfit/egoist/nerd/idiot savant who’s not about to lose.”

“Nerdy William Barfee all but drools out each word he must spell. Barfee, heavy set but light on his feet, relies on dancing out each letter & overcomes a plotted sabotage.”
-Marie J. Kiliker, Aisle Say Florida
“It’s difficult to single out a particular performer from this talented ensemble cast - each actor creates a memorable personality for his/her character. Bruce Warren as the formidable William Barfée (mispronounced constantly, to his great ire, as Barfy) dances out his words on the floor with his ’magic foot’ before correctly spelling them.”
