“John Devereaux as Tom Collins gives a warm performance that infects the audience with the sense of longtime friendship […] The energy between Collins [Devereaux] and Angel is some of the most palpable and unique chemistry in recent memory, especially during their ‘I’ll Cover You.’ Dereveaux deftly delivers power and vulnerability in his reprise in Act II.” -Edge Media (Rent)
“Curtis Taylor is difficult role and an unflattering portrait, allegedly based on Motown founder Berry Gordy. To his credit, Devereaux plays the role to sleazy perfection.” -Daily record (Dreamgirls, Village Theatre)
“Devereaux, with a strong stage presence, is solid as Coalhouse Walker Jr.” -Spokesman-review (Ragtime)
“…gives a truly memorable performance underlined by an authentically naturalistic acting style. When he first appears, this critic mistakes Devereaux for an audience member, not a performer. Devereaux’s future appears brighter than all the lights on Broadway.” -Broadway World (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee)
“When it comes rockin’ the house with funk & soul leave it to Devereaux to dazzle you.” -Broadway World (25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee)
“Following the great vocal performance of Eddie Murphy from the films cannot be easy, but Devereaux seizes command of this role and makes it his own. He is having a blast!” -Spokesman-Review (Shrek: The Musical)
