TESTIMONIALS
THE BOOK OF MORMON
"Standby Daniel Buckley is a thorough delight. Buckley performs the role as a misfit, yes, but he is a warm and sweet misfit. His Mormon lullaby is more tender, and he also offers an earlier and deeper indication of a relationship with the native Nabulungi. On the comic side, Buckley's "Man Up" is as funny as ever I've seen." (Playbill), "stole the spotlight and the affection of the audience. He makes the role his own and had the entire audience in stitches. His rendition of ‘Man Up’ was the highlight of the show and during the final bows Buckley received the biggest cheer from the adoring audience." (London Theatre Direct).
FIVER
"Dan Buckley demonstrates exactly why he is becoming known as a comedy genius. His performances are hilarious and his voice soulful, yet he can deliver poignancy and emotion when needed." (Dress Circle Antics), "Buckley’s ‘I’ll Write a Song For You’ is nothing short of glorious" (Theatre Weekly), "Not enough praise can be given to Dan Buckley. His vocals are some of the nicest I’ve heard in a long time and paired with his honest, beat to beat, exquisite acting, he is definitely one of the finest performers in London." (Pocket Sized Theatre).
EUGENIUS!
"Played with a confident swagger by Daniel Buckley... helps maintain the show's high-octane energy levels...Buckley has genius comic timing and the face of an innocent about to make an enormous faux pas" (Whats On Stage) "show-stealing" (MT Review) "nifty comic support from Daniel Buckley...who (has) great presence" (The Independent), "Buckley reprises his larger than life Feris with infectious exuberance and excellent comic timing" (LondonThatre1), "rabble-rousingly funny" (Time Out).
