"This "Streetcar" is solidly cast all the way down the line: Kim Stauffer and Kevin Carolan are properly and plausibly unglamorous as Stella and Mitch..."

The Wall Street Journal, Arts & Entertainment: Theater --"What's Up Bard?"
Thursday, August 13, 2009

"Kevin Carolan – who dedicates his portrayal of Harold "Mitch" Mitchell to Karl Malden, who originated the role – is actually this staging's secret weapon. He defines the broken everyman aspects of Mitch, and his sobbing in the play's final moments is the most real thing onstage."

A Streetcar Named Desire at Barrington Stage Company
by Michael Ecks
August 9, 2009

"Kevin Carolan as Mitch, it should also be noted, does a heroic job of filling the very big shoes of another heavyweight performance still in our minds, that of Karl Malden as Mitch who both originated the role for the stage and film, and who only recently passed away."

Theater Review: A Streetcar named Desire at BSC
by Chris Newbound
August 10, 2009

"As played by Kevin Carolan, Mitch is a warm soul, a charming fellow who can tolerate Stanley's coarseness as long as it doesn't offend anyone else in the room. Carolan looks at Mazzie with a dozen different expressions on his face from amusement to admiration to concern."

Theater Review by Peter Bergman

"Other notable performers in the shows I saw included...Kevin Carolan as a fabulous Hoover in "Bonnie and Clyde"."

"One show that could hold its own in a transfer, with some tinkering, is "Bonnie and Clyde." I'd love to see Hoover's "Immorality" number on a fancy FBI set in the middle of a big stage."

September 11, 2006

"...A top-notch cast milks every musical moment of these 90 minutes." 

"...it is in the all-out ensemble numbers that the musical becomes most cohesive: Chris' tuneful "Old Fashioned Romance," Barbara's revenge aria "Hate Mail."

"Have a Nice Life"
Written by Karl Levett
September 13, 2006

"...real performers can liberate even the most constricted material, which these seven stars demonstrate time and time again. ...The appealing Carolan leads a rickety movie-musical fantasy number that, amazingly, doesn't feel out of place within the show's overly clinical framework."

"Have a Nice Life"
Written by Matthew Murray
September 11, 2006

"...The best performances in the show are given by Michelle DeJean as the fame-obsessed Roxie Hart, Kevin Carolan as her compliant husband Amos, and Carol Woods as the worldly prison matron Mama Morton... ...Carolan manages the neat trick of playing a man who everyone "looks right through" without actually disappearing; on the contrary, he offers an endearing, well-rounded characterization of Amos..."

"...Sam, her husband (the comically gifted Kevin Carolan), will have none of this ...Sam has his own demons, and Mr. Carolan mines the inner torment of a man whose self-esteem is constantly in question and who, in despair over what he suspects is his wife's adulterous betrayal, teeters on the edge of madness as he admits forgetting 'how to knot my tie'..."

"...Kevin Carolan arouses sympathy as Amos Hart, Roxie's put-upon husband and the play's only redeemable character. Carolan delivers a wonderfully poignant rendition of "Mister Cellophane," a sad sack, white-gloved fellow who is invisible to his wife and the world around him. His stiltlike movements are very amusing..."

"McNally comedy has a revival at George Street"
Written by Peter Filichia
Monday, February 16, 2004
Page 39.

"...Kevin Carolan captures much of the humor and humanity in McNally's portrait of an ordinary Joe, hard-working small businessman who is as much in fear of losing his wife as he is of having children (he is afraid of what they will think of him). Although Sam is the most homophobic of the four, McNally and Carolan humanely make it clear that his feelings are a result of insecurity and ignorance, and not viciousness..."

"...Charlie, the young man interested in Jo, is an odd, simpatico character -- a quintessential nerd with a little quirk. Kevin Carolan, who understudied the Charlie role in NY, is in full bloom in this show as he plays Charlie and morphs into his various other characters including, but not limited to, Jim Timony, a drag queen, WC Fields, and a muscle man. Mr. Carolan disclosed that as he puts on the accessories of the character, he becomes the character. He's a living example of the old William James-based Lange acting theories in which objects and action spur the imagination and bring emotional truth to the performance..."

"...As sweetly nerdy as Carolan is as Charlie, he also brings a vaudevillian's polish and versatility to seven other roles, including W.C. Fields, a boxer, a producer, West's accompanist, Harry, a drag queen and a muscle man. Having understudied and played these roles on Broadway, Carolan delights with an impressive set of characterizations..."
