"Tommy Ratkiewicz-Stierwalt, who portrays Laurie, handily exhibits the greatest transformation of any character as Laurie grows from bumbling near-boy to man."

"Tommy Ratkiewicz-Stierwalt, as the Balladeer, represents the American public, narrates, and serves as the show's conscience (as the Che Guevara role did in Evita). He also plays Lee Harvey Oswald, and Ratkiewicz-Stierwalt's transformation is startling and effective."

"Playing the Ghost of Christmas Past/Lamplighter is Tommy Ratkiewicz-Stierwalt, who displays a sense of comedic wit paired with stunning vocals."

-River Cities' Reader, A Christmas Carol,

                                                        2016

"Ratkiewicz’s flaming countenance as Oscar Wilde, while arguably overdone, brings with it a buoyancy that lightens the mood, and I couldn't help but grin whenever he was on stage during Friday's performance."

"Also impressive are the vocals of Tommy Ratkiewicz, with a fluidity to his motions as the heir."
