DONALD CORREN

Actor / Audiobook Narrator

– The City Paper

"Donald Corren provokes howls as Speed."

"Donald Corren, as Speed, is the brilliant half of a brilliant duo... The scene between these two discussing the one's lady love while examining a Playboy magazine is worth the trip to Washington."

Fagin in OLIVER!

Goodspeed Opera House

Donald Corren, who owns the stage whenever he’s on it, perfectly conveys Fagin’s seedy charisma; you can understand why the kids would follow him anywhere.
– TheDay.com

The show’s highlight is Corren, who dances around with the children as if he was one himself, just covered by years, hair, and dirt. Corren captures Fagin’s desire for family in any way he can find it — a sort of father who’s fathered no children but raises the children of the street.
– Journal Inquirer

He absolutely soars in his big second act number, "Reviewing the Situation," a mini-play unto itself and he gives a master class in musical comedy performance.
– Showriz.com

With each tune, Mr. Corren never shows himself, but only reveals more and more of Fagin. At the delightful finale, “Reviewing The Situation” there is only Fagin on the stage – no actor- just the Dickens character come completely to life.

Max Tarazov in SUPERIOR DONUTS

Pittsburgh Public Theatre

"Corren is pretty much a scene-stealer as Max, the Russian next door, and does a great job at presenting a character who is funny but not a caricature."
–TheatreMania

"Mr. Corren is a commanding presence every time he enters the shop."
– Pittsburgh Post-Gazette

"Donald Corren sparks energy and much laughter as Max Tarasov."
– Pittsburgh Tribune

Alfred P. Doolittle in MY FAIR LADY

The Guthrie Theatre

"Donald Corren plays Alfred Doolittle as if he were born to the role."
– Minneapolis Public Radio

"Donald Corren is a hoot as Eliza's rascally dad. His two big numbers, "Get Me to the Church on Time" and "With a Little Bit of Luck," feature zesty choreography (by Joe Chvala), but Corren performs them with charming insouciance, as if the steps are occurring to him on the spot and he's telepathically transmitting them to the chorus behind him."
– Pioneer Press /TwinCities.com

DIETRICH & CHEVALIER

St. Luke's Theatre, NYC

– The New York Times

"Donald Corren provides some sterling characterizations in a variety of roles."
– TheatreMania

"Donald Corren, playing eight different roles, all but steals the show. He is marvelous. I believed him throughout."

"Mr. Corren singlehandedly kept the action going, filling in some of the blanks, motivating a good deal of the intrinsic drama."
– Theatrescene.net

– Theatremania.com

"An apocalypse of laughter - played with crackling comic verve by Donald Corren."

– NYTheatre.com

Roundabout Black Box Theater, NYC

"Donald Corren, who brought such versatility and worldly warmth to Dietrich & Chevalier: The Musical in 2010, is a chameleonic wonder as a historian, a Catskills comic and at least three witnesses at the Nuremberg war-crime trials."
– The New York Times

"But it's Donald Corren who steals the show with several brief but memorable roles, including a British POW, a Russian prosecutor and a Borscht Belt comic."
– The New York Post
