Into the Woods
"This latest, somewhat revised incarnation of 'Into the Woods' has charming story-book scenery, a beautiful star, optical illusions and a winsome dancing cow (Chad Kimball) to delight the eye. Only Jack's puppet-headed cow, a charming creature that at moments brings to mind the terrified animals of 'Guernica,' is entirely successful in bridging the gaps in tone."
- Ben Brantley, The New York Times
"Douglas W. Schmidt's décor is lavishly inventive, Susan Hilferty's savvy costumes climax in a superlative cow, marvelously enacted by Chad Kimball."
- John Simon for New York Magazine

"[Gabriel Barre] also cast two enormously talented performers in the lead roles, who drive the story on sheer charisma alone. Chad Kimball makes Huey Calhoun a sweet, well-meaning goof, but his surprisingly strong baritone/tenor communicates more emotion than what's written in the songs, and his easygoing charm makes Heuy likable even when he probably shouldn't be."
- Terry Byrne, The Boston Herald
Eager, antsy, unstoppably earnest -- with a body that seems bursting with syncopated nervous energy -- Kimball is a reckless dynamo as Huey Calhoun, the white boy with a passion for rhythm and blues."
- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle

Baby
"Chad Kimball demonstrates his versatility and establishes himself as a grand musical comedy star."
- Andy Propst, American Theatre Web
"Chad Kimball is a find as Danny. He is a counterculture-type musician transformed into the incipient husband by inpending fatherhood. Kimball captures the delightful, slightly goofy fun of Danny while eschewing the excesses to which his role is prone. His approach enhances the delight of his folk song "I Chose Right"." - Bob Rendell, talkinbroadway.com

Lennon
"He (Scardino) also did some savvy casting, putting together an engaging, multitalented, multiracial nine-person ensemble whose members trade off as the title character. Lennon contains terrific songs and dynamic voices to match. A fervent rendition of "Mother,"is sung with primal- scream intensity by Chad Kimball, Will Chase and Julie Danao."
- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Made up of a diverse cast, everyone plays John, most prominently Chad Kimball and Will Chase, both of whom play the role most as contemplative John While the actors shine in such moments. They truly come together as an ensemble. The chemistry between these performers is electric, and they appear to be having a marvelous time on stage."
- Shira Greenberg, San Francisco Chronicle
