Penobscot Theatre Company in Bangor, ME
March 19th - 30th, 2008

Role: Seymour

“David Perlman was perfect as Seymour, the nebbish flower shop employee who discovers the plant that thrives on human flesh and blood. The actor was so natural and comfortable in the role, he may have been born for the part.”

-Judy Harrison, BANGOR DAILY NEWS

Barrington Stage Company in Pittsfield, MA
June 26th - July 14th, 2007

Role: Calvin Berger

“Perlman is thoroughly likable as the 17-year-old 'smart-but-not-a-nerd' Calvin, a character Woody Allen or Neil Simon used to knock off with regularity.”

-Frank Rizzo, DAILY VARIETY

“David Perlman is lovable as the nerdy Calvin, who imagines himself with a  big nose and ignores his valuable asset – a huge heart.  We can only like the show as much as we like Calvin and thanks to Perlman you end up liking him a lot.”

-Bob Goepfert, THE TROY RECORD

“David Perlman is the lovable Calvin – a high spirited joy to watch.”

-Ron Lee, Entertainment Scene WBRK radio

“The kid, appealingly played here by David Perlman…”

-Louise Kennedy, BOSTON GLOBE

“All four performers are young, attractive, and very, very talented. They act, sing and dance with a professional aplomb that overwhelms.”

-J. Peter Bergman, ADVOCATE WEEKLY

“The acting is top-notch, and especially important in this nearly sung-through production, the singing is too.”

-Ronni Gordon, THE REPUBLICAN

“No wonder that the scenes between David Perlman and Aaron Tveit, which tend to be more physical, are the most enjoyable and that their ‘We’re the Man’ and ‘Never Know’ are the standout songs.”

-Elyse Sommer, CURTAINUP
