MINNIE'S BOYS
Musical Theatre Guild "Harrison has some nice moments as Adolph, who would become Harpo. The best parts of the show occur when the four brothers are carousing and behaving in the anarchic manner that made them famous." - VC On Stage (Thousand Oaks, CA) "Our delightful and equally handsome, well-moving, watchable heroes really came through. And Harrison did a terrific job with the show's most enduring ballad, a gift for Minnie, 'Mama, a Rainbow'." - Stage and Cinema (Los Angeles, CA) "Scott McLean Harrison...used his 5'6" frame with great athletic abandon whenever possible. All of (the brothers') musical numbers...were entertaining and reality-revealing." - Broadway World (Los Angeles, CA) BRIGHT STAR
Musical Theatre West "Multi-talented ensemble members...serve as Bright Star's ever-present North Carolinian Greek chorus, observing, participating, and occasionally even pulling the strings while dancing to (Josh) Rhode's mesmerizing choreography, as original as Broadway choreography gets." - StageScene LA (Los Angeles, CA) "The entire ensemble makes the piece worth watching." - Broadway World (Los Angeles, CA) "The production can also boast an excellent ensemble cast that offers great support as scene partners and as a frequent choir of harmonious powerhouse voices and energetic dance moves." - OnStage Blog (Los Angeles, CA) THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE
Arkansas Repertory Theatre "Anchoring the chaos are bee moderators Rona Lisa Peretti (played by Andi Watson) and Vice Principal Dougals Panch (played by Scott McLean Harrison). The deadpan humor these two deliver with smiles and scowls while reading off colorful word definitions had audience members howling and literally slapping their knees." - Little Rock Soiree (Little Rock, AR) "Vice principal Douglas Panch (Scott McLean Harrison) obviously struggles to be taken seriously, but the...delivery of improvised lines and hilariously crafted one-liners is not to be missed." - Sync (Little Rock, AR) SUBWAYS ARE FOR SLEEPING
Opening Doors Theatre Company "Lending superb support are Lexi Windsor as Martha Vail...and Scott McLean Harrison as Charlie, the drop-out who's willing to drop back in when he comes to love her. Harrison has the chance to be the next Dudley Moore." - TheatreMania (New York, NY) "Scott McLean Harrison handles a role written for Orson Bean with splendid archness and impressible brio." - New York Daily News (New York, NY) THE FOREIGNER
Arkansas Repertory Theatre "The laughs are the province of Hinkle and Tigue...with Harrison coming up on the back stretch to nearly steal the show, especially when he decides to teach Charlie some well-chosen English words." - Arkansas Democrat Gazette (Little Rock, AR) "Scott McLean Harrison was phenomenal. I've seen the play several times and have seen his part played well and played badly. He never had a false moment. He captured the pureness and the humanity of the part. I think the world would be a better place if we all had the innocence and the faith of his Ellard." - Scott Whiteley Carter (PR Mgr, City of Little Rock) "Other standout performances included Scott McLean Harrison's sympathetic and charming portrayal of Ellard. Harrison shone in the scenes where he's 'teaching' Charlie to speak English; he managed to give the word 'fork' about three extra syllables." - Arkansas Times (Little Rock, AR) BRING BACK BIRDIE
Opening Doors Theatre Company "Maria Maloney and Scott McLean Harrison were major assets as the teenage offspring of Albert and Rose, simply adorable. Charming Scott also shone in a high-steppin' cowboy number with merrily mischievous David Perlman and solid Marc Tumminelli; they were a tip-top trio dancing and singing with their fair Rose." - Edge (New York, NY) HELLO, DOLLY!
Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma "White and Harrison deliver their laugh lines with an easy charm. Their physical comedy is just as impressive, particularly when they attempt to romance hat shop owner Irene Malloy and her scatterbrained assistant Minnie Fay." - The Oklahoman (Oklahoma City, OK) "Harrison brings a wonderful innocence to the role of Barnaby, and he and White are perfect together as Cornelius convinces Barnaby that they are going to New York City and have an adventure in 'Put on Your Sunday Clothes'." - Edmond Sun (Edmond, OK) "In key roles as Horace Vandergelder's employees at his feed store in Yonkers who decided to make a foray into New York City on their own, UCO professor Greg White as Cornelius Hackl and OU grad Scott McLean Harrison as Barnaby Tucker delivered amusing, high stepping second leads..." - Edmond Life and Leisure (Edmond, OK) BIG RIVER
Cohoes Music Hall "Scott McLean Harrison makes a believable coming-of-age Huck Finn. He achieves an understanding of the disparities of life around him. In spiritual, positive songs like 'Waitin' for the Light to Shine,' Harrison displays a rich, appealing voice that gets stronger as the evening moves on." - Daily Gazette (Schnectady, NY) "Scott McLean Harrison's experience shows in all elements of his portrayal: acting, singing, and dancing. He's impish, wise, and sassy. He's Huck. Harrison succeeds with 'Waitin' for the Light to Shine' and 'I, Huckleberry, Me'." - Times Union (Albany, NY) "Scott McLean Harrison is a good Huck who instantly ingratiates himself to the audience as he finds the irrepressible spirit of the boy who refuses to be confined by what others think and say. He shows us an innocent who is also a rebel. The work is most alive when Harrison is engaging the audience." - Troy Record (Troy, NY) BIG RIVER
National Tour "Harrison is the perfect Tom. (He) does a brilliant job with 'Hand for the Hog,' and yup, you had to be there. His characterization of Sawyer is right on the money. You had to believe that Twain himself would be tickled pink with the way this young man brings the character so beautifully to life." - Rapid City Journal (Rapid City, SD) "Scott McLean Harrison was a likable Tom Sawyer, too, Huck's boisterous partner in crime." - Billings Gazette (Billings, MT) "Scott McLean Harrison is a mischievous Tom Sawyer." - Reading Eagle (Reading, PA) A FUNNY THING HAPPENED ON THE WAY TO THE FORUM
Lyric Theatre of Oklahoma "Working toe-to-toe with Torcellini and punctuating his bits laugh-for-laugh were the energetic Proteans, Chris Castleberry, Scott McLean Harrison, and Jonathan McElroy. Well-rehearsed and under-mugged, all three of these ensemble members have earned their wages and then some this summer as featured players throughout the season." - Oklahoma Gazette (Oklahoma City, OK) |
