The hilarious Reggie De Leon is
at his best as an email message
caught in the web of a vicious computer
virus
- Les Spindle, Backstage West
"De
Leon is the perennial adorable geek
as he sizes up the profile of one
potential online sweetie ("You Are
Cute, but You Don't Know How
to Spell") - Julio Martinez, Variety
"The
acting is energetic and winning,
especially... Reggie De Leon, who
steals scenes as both an office drone and
an email." - James Taylor, Theatre
Talk - KCRW Radio
"Epically
self-delighting Reggie De Leon and
Jennifer Norkin steal the show as E-mail
and computer bug" - David Nichols, La
Brea Living Magazine* Critic's
Choice *
"If not
today, then tomorrow I expect to see... Reggie
De Leon (a Lou Costello type destined for
character actor heaven)... populating
many of our best sitcoms." - Don
Hart, Beverly Hills Outlook
I
dont know if Ive ever caught
myself singing youre cute,
but you dont know how to
spell, when looking over a
potential internet match, but I certainly
thought it and I found myself immediately
caught up in this song belted out by
Oliver, a pudgy, nerdy office worker
played with great comedic timing by
Reggie De Leon" - Lori Peters, La
Splash Magazine
As
Horton the Elephant in "Seussical:
The Musical"
 
Covina Center for the Performing Arts
July 11 - August 17, 2008
"The performers in this piece prove
top-notch. From Dennis Kyle's neatly
timed Cat in the Hat, to Reggie De
Leon's earnest, bashful Horton, they have
great voices, and a
fine sense of ensemble to go with their
individual character definition."

As
Sakini in Teahouse of the August
Moon

Glendale Centre Theatre
October 12 November 19, 2005
Sakini,
played by Reggie De Leon, emerges as the
clear star, bridging both worlds as
interpreter for the military and hometown
resident of Tobiki. Sakini is wise and
playful, clever and persuasive, helpful
and at times a lovable nuisance. -

As Sancho in Man of La Mancha

Redlands
Civic Light Opera
January 25 - February 4,
2007
"Other
bright lights included Reggie De Leon as
Quixote's sidekick Sancho. Adding the
comic relief to this often heavy plot
appeared to come easily to De Leon. His
delightful demeanor and easy mannerism
projected beautifully on the stage and
warmed the heart." - Vanessa D.
Overbeck, Redlands Daily Facts
"[Quixote's]
sidekick, Sancho, played by Reggie De
Leon, displayed great comic timing and an
excellent voice." - Frances
Scoggin, San Bernardino Sun

Glendale
Centre Theatre
February 16 April 9,
2005

"Reggie
De Leon as Quixote's devoted sidekick,
Sancho, Mario DiGregorio as the innkeeper
at his wits end in having to deal with
this gentle madman, and Matt Stevens as
the padre, are crowd-pleasers in their
comic relief roles." - Terri
Roberts, Backstage West
"Reggie
De Leon as Sancho does deliver a lively
rendition of 'I Really Like Him' in a
heartwarming homage to his master."
- Lisa Dupuy, Burbank Leader

Arroyo
Repertory Theatre
January 18 February
22, 2003
"The
true highlight of the show is De Leon's
Sancho. His small stature overflows
with an irrepresible enthusiasm that is
as infectious as it is well-intentioned.
He displays an exceptional voice and
constant good nature. De Leon conveys his
character's indefatigable love for the
old knight without seeming overzealous or
foolish about it. And despite the fact
that he could have easily stolen every
scene he was in, De Leon stuck to the
role of sidekick, never overshadowing
Quixote." - Daniel Lehman, A&E
Editor for the Los Angeles Loyolan
"As
Sancho, De Leon is warm and funny,
expressing his love for his boss in 'I
Really Like Him.'" - Var Smith, Backstage
West
"Reggie
De Leon does a successful job with both
the songs and comedy of Sancho" -
Sharon Perlmutter, Talkin'

September 25 October 9, 2003
"It was
at once apparent that the strength of the
cast's singing, dancing and acting
allowed them to make the characters their
own yet remaining faithful to their
doppelgangers' characteristics. The
triple threat ensemble's strong and
melodious voices echoed throughout the
theatre as their expertly performed dance
movements dazzled the audience... The
cast members had put in the time, effort
and enthusiasm to successfully bring a
very effective and rousing
performance." - Kenneth Quan, Asia

episodes are a hammy hoot." - Ben
