Jennifer Petty Mann lymeline.com "Humberville Poetry Slam" "Michael Barra as Fetid was awesome." Ed Moy SF Asian American Film Examiner "Belushi-Like" George Heymont myculturallandscape.blogspot.com "Fog Warning" "...exceptionally good cast." Nic Brown bmovieman.com "Man of La Mancha" "Michael Barra stands out as Sancho, Cervantes' servant." Chris Curcio The Republic Phoenix, AZ "As Sancho, Barra does what any good sidekick should: He nearly steals the show. Possessed of a really fine voice (often cleverly disguised by the nasally Sancho- sound) and superb comic skills, Barra fully embodies the lovable character who follows Quijana around the country playing his game simply because he “likes him.” A true friend indeed." Sara Young Lawrence Journal-World Lawrence,KS "Barra's Sancho is both humorous and appealing without taking on the cloying habits other actors have before him." Michael Muckian The Capital Times Madison, WI "Michael Barra brings a light touch to the role of Sancho, which is easily overplayed. When he sings of his devotion to his master in "I Really Like Him," the moment is sweet and genuine." Drew Sterwald The News Press Southwest Florida "Michael Barra made an endearing Sancho, singing with charm and adding more than a few comic touches." Channing Gray The Providence Journal, Providence, RI "Michael Barra, a heavyweight himself, carried the weighty role of squire Sancho with sly good humor and adroit mood changes." Pat Hendricks Sunday Gazette Charleston, WV "Throughout "Man of La Mancha," portly Michael Barra scored well with his comic remarks. He especially won over the audience with "I Really Like Him," and his work in the trio on "Knight of the Woeful Countenance,"" Clif' Warren Edmond Life & Leisure Edmond, OK "Michael Barra provides a perfect plus-sized foil as Sancho in a witty larger-than- life performance. All three stars know how to squeeze every ounce of humor and poignancy out of the lively lyrics of Man of La Mancha." Robert W. McDowell Classical Voice of North Carolina Durham, NC "Michael Barra as patient and devoted sidekick Sancho Panza was the perfect complement to McCoy. His "I Really Like Him" was the picture of sincerity." Sarah D'Esti Miller Press and Sun Bulletin Binghamton, NY |
