Mr. Louryk's performance draws sympathy as well as curiosity. It's fascinating. -NEWSDAY "CHRISTINE JORGENSEN REVEALS was a Fringe discovery. Brilliantly recreating one of Jorgensen's recorded interviews, Bradford Louryk is giving the most compelling performance in Edinburgh." -THE SUNDAY EXPRESS, Scotland 10) "CHRISTINE JORGENSEN REVEALS is fascinating. It makes for compelling viewing. Stylishly staged by Josh Hecht, this is a very classy show. Christine Jorgensen is wonderfully realized." -THE GUARDIAN, Scotland 11) "Bradford Louryk came upon an album in a used-record store and something between a docudrama and a sedentary ballet was born. This exacting re-creation paints a fascinating picture of a curious nation pressing its nose against a woman articulate, ahead of her time and calculatedly feminine. Mr. Louryk's painstaking performance seems right, given the throaty yet feminine timbre and distinct enunciation of Jorgensen's own instrument. Jorgensen's main point is that there is a mix of male and female in every individual, but Louryk's performance suggests that there's real discipline in calibrating the mix, in orchestrating one's gender identity for presentation." -THE BOSTON PHOENIX 12) "Bradford Louryk's performance is done with such brilliant authenticity that one leaves the theatre feeling as if one has witnessed history. Second chances in life rarely present themselves. Fortunately in this case, one has." -GO NYC MAGAZINE
