TaRaRaBoom: A Three Sisters Mishmash
"The best performances are the ones that capture the distinctive voices of Chekhov’s characters, notably... Matthew Christian as the cuckolded Kulygin." — Robert Viagas, Arts Independent
Anthem (Baryshnikov Arts Center)
"The best thing about this slick, multimedia production...is Christian’s performance—when he has a rebel thought, he seems utterly surprised. Against the drab backdrop of the rest of the play, he is fully alive." — The New Yorker
"As the heroes, Matthew Lieff Christian and Sofia Lauwers...generate a spark..." — Ken Jaworowski, New York Times
"Matthew Lieff Christian gives Equality a mix of youthful naiveté and fanatic intensity." — Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post
Legally Blonde* (Summer Theatre of New Canaan)
"The featured performers match in their comic skill, charisma, and charm. As Emmett, Matthew Christian -- as sincere as is Elle, with his 'scruffy corduroy vibe' -- is an appealing singer who gives a nuanced, warmly engaging performance."
— Brooks Appelbaum, Connecticut Critics Circle
* BroadwayWorld Connecticut Awards Nomination for Best Featured Actor in a Musical
