PERFORMANCE REVIEWS
“Andrew Ryker gives a performance of a lifetime as Leo Frank. He makes the nerdy, hand-wringing, hyper-conscientious factory supervisor a character worthy of the audience’s sympathy” (PARADE - StageWest)
— Margaret Ludington (The Des Moines Register)
“With appealing clarity, Andrew Ryker wraps himself in a completely believable Frank. From his workaholic, fish-out-of- water outsider place, delivered brilliantly in “How Can I Call this Home”…Ryker gives one of the shows strongest performances” (PARADE - StageWest)
— James Busbee (The Culture Buzz)
“Andrew Ryker… performed as the adult Harvey Milk with an immediate charm in both vocal and physical characterization. His voice bloomed easily displaying comfort with both musical theatre and classical styles during his elegant “You Are Here.”…His moments on stage with the young Harvey Milk… were sweetly endearing. Ryker continued to draw the audience in over the course of the whole evening with his sincerity and sensitivity to the text and vocal line” (I AM HARVEY MILK - Des Moines Gay Men’s Chorus)
— Megan Ihnen (Sybaritic Singer)
