The
Wolf/Cinderella's Prince in Into The Woods, Lamb's Players Theatre,
Coronado, CA 2006
(click

"In
the vocal department, four others shine...
Jason Heil extracts the juice from his plum double role as the
lip-smacking Wolf and Cinderella's Prince.
He teams stalwartly with the equally princely David S. Humphrey
for the show's best comedy tune,
that paean to self-inflicted romantic angst, “Agony.”
—Anne Marie Welsh San
Diego Union Tribune
"It's the best overall staging of "Into the Woods"
I've seen in many years...
as the two handsome princes, David S. Humphrey and Jason Heil,
ooze both square-chinned charm and unapologetic insincerity in
equal measure...
Among the show's best-delivered numbers: the princes' duet "Agony"..."
—Pam Kragen North
County Times
"Other standouts include...Jason Heil’s strong, warm
voice is appealing in his role as
the ravenous and salacious Wolf and as Cinderella’s prince.
His hilarious duet o
melodramatic one-upmanship with David S. Humphrey, the other prince,
is a comic highlight.
Heil
and Humphrey are wonderfully charming and insincere, a pair of
perfectly preening princes..."
—Jennifer Chung sandiego.com
"The cast is in fine voice...but as always in this musical,
the showstopper is
delightfully executed by the two Prince Charmings (Jason Heil
and David S. Humphrey)."
—Rob Stevens, Showmag

Sir
Robert Morton in The Winslow Boy, Lamb’s Players
Theatre, Coronado, CA
(click
for larger view)
“Jason
Heil finds myriad subtleties in the scenery-chewing role
of Sir Robert Morton, the conservative lawyer who interrogates,
then defends young Ronnie Winslow. The chemistry heats
up beneath the encounters of his Robert and Kollar's Kate,
and the play ends radiantly in a wittily-delivered, mildly
provocative exchange.”
-Anne Marie Welsh, San
Diego Union Tribune
“The
Winslow Boy boasts a note-perfect cast…Jason
Heil isn't onstage much as the aloof attorney Sir Robert
Morton, but he energizes his few scenes with a sense of
bristling intellectualism and gulf-deep emotions.”
-Pam Kragen, North
County Times
