The New York Post “Marilyn”
“Attention must be paid to the phenomenal singing of Willy Falk.”

The New York Times “Miss Saigon”
“We certainly take as many cues from Mr. Falk’s earnestly American, nice-guy aura, and the vigor of his voice, as we do from what he is singing. When he and Miss Salonga come together, the basic laws of biology supplant those of the drama. They look good in each other’s arms, the way movie stars looked good when the studios were master-minding their careers.”

Time Magazine “Miss Saigon”
“When Miss Saigon opened in London in 1989, it had two stars, Lea Salonga as Kim and Jonathan Pryce as the Engineer. The Broadway production has three...They are joined in the spotlight by Willy Falk in the role of Kim's G.I. lover, Chris, a part that was a cipher in London. Falk finds charm, erotic fervor and moral confusion in a role that serves as a metaphor for the U.S.’s blundering good intentions at playing global policeman. Now the bedroom scenes smolder-- then ignite so brightly that Kim's faithful years-long wait for reunion and Chris' tormented dreams do not seem like self-delusory claptrap ”

The New York Times "God Bless Us, Every One"
"...he is alive, a settled responsible figure in this telling... Willy Falk gave him a sympathetic, ably sung portrayal."

Shreveport Times “Susannah”
“Willy Falk has a strong, flexible tenor.”

Variety “Little Shop of Horrors”
“Falk…engulfs the audience with lovability. Never resorting to character-voice cop-outs, Falk’s clear tenor even transcends the faulty sound.”

The Manchester Times “Die Fledermaus”
“Willy Falk is a natural comic whose supple, full-bodied tenor reaches clear to the back rows of the hall.”

Les Misérables Broadway: Willy Falk

excerpt from: The Happiest Corpse I've Ever Seen: The Last 25 Years of the Broadway Musical
by Ethan Mordden (Palgrave Macmillan)

"Falk soared into the vocal inflections of rock so dazzlingly that an audience that had been jeering all night gave him an ovation DURING the music. The applause following the number briefly stopped the show, and--after a very short book scene – Falk got another ovation."
