TALK OF THE TOWN
"Matthew Tweardy is a most engaging Sherwood, and shows himself to be a performer who's definitely one to watch in the future."

- Peter Felichia,
Theater Mania

"Tweardy's Sherwood especially looks and sounds just right."

- Karl Levett,
Backstage

"Matthew Tweardy is a winner as budding-playwright Sherwood--open, endearing, naive, and improbably good-looking. And born to be in a spotlight. He gets the only real dance breaks in the show, and carries them off charmingly. When a director has a performer who glows on stage, as this relative newcomer does, that makes up for shortcomings in the book."

- Chip Deffaa,
Cabaret Scenes

"Matthew Tweardy, lanky and good-looking, portrays playwright Robert Sherwood.."

- Wolf Entertainment Guide

"...and Matthew Tweardy, a singing and dancing Jimmy Stewart type."

- Elyse Sommer,
Curtain Up


HONK!
"Last, but definitely not least is Matthew Tweardy whose youthful exuberance, charming face, and phenomenal singing voice make his performance as Ugly the most heartbreakingly beautiful and yet incredibly humorous performance seen recently on the SMT stage. Tweardy is a remarkable talent. He is a strong presence and his rapport with his co-stars is phenomenal. Tweardy is a star in the making. "

- Matthew MacDermid,
Talkin' Broadway

"An SMT newcomer, Matthew Tweardy, is the Ugly Duckling. No, he is not yellow, mellow or small, but a tall drink of water, who came out of the egg in gray clothing. Mr. Tweardy is a tremendously talented actor, handsome and with an absolutely marvelous singing voice."

- Dick Kerekes,
First Coast Entertainer


LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS
"...with Matthew Tweardy nicely adding believable sympathy and a powerful voice to Seymour."

- Matthew MacDermid,
Talkin' Broadway

"Matthew Tweardy, as the main character, is absolutely terrific. His Seymour is perfection and his singing voice sounds like that of a Cincinnati Conservatory of Music graduate, which he is."

- Joan Brandonisio,
Happenings Magazine

"Tweardy plays Seymour as an appropriately nerdy nebbish, giving a fine performance."

- Morris Sullivan,
Daytona Beach News-Journal

"Matthew Tweardy as Seymour is a very likeable character with a remarkable voice. His 'Suddenly Seymour,' is pure joy and erfection and this song was definitely the audience favorite without a doubt."

- Dick Kerekes,
First Coast Entertainer


JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
"Another high point in the production comes from Matthew Tweardy as Pilate."

- Morris Sullivan,
News-Journal

"Matthew Tweardy was marvelous as Pilate, playing the role in an unusual way as a cripple."

- Dick Kerekes,
Entertainment U


THREE PENNY OPERA
"...and Matthew Tweardy as a comically besotted Tiger Brown."

- Orlando Sentinel

"The first act's rousing 'Cannon Song,' sung by Matthew Tweardy, as the police commissioner, is another crowd-pleaser."

- Morris Sullivan,
News-Journal


1776
"...and Thomas Jefferson with soft subtlety by Matthew Tweardy. [Tweardy] brings excellent characterization to the stage, based on countless hours of research and rehearsal."

- Matthew MacDermid, Talkin' Broadway
