CARNIVAL!
at The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts:
"Even
this moment, though, with all its grandeur and pageantry,
doesn’t bring the stage to life in the same way Marco
the Magnificent does. Marco’s exaggerated diabolicalness
could have easily been a recipe for pained mediocrity, but
instead he pops from his surroundings like a 3-D cutout.
Just like Marco’s laundry list of past women, the
audience can’t bear to be without him. And when he’s
not around, this carnival is typical — bright, polished,
pretty and superficially entertaining, but nothing more.”
--Examniner.com
“Mr. La Cause's Marco
is a hilarious parody of hypermasculinity..."
--The Washington Times
"...Sebastian La Cause
as the deliciously pompous cad, Marco the magician. He and
his perpetually jealous assistant (Natascia Diaz) keep the
slender plot churning as they spar over affections and entertain
with big numbers including "Magic, Magic."
--Variety
"La
Cause prowls with a big reptile's muscular grace."
--Washington Post
“From the show’s
outset, Marco commands the stage. He is color; he is movement.
He is throwing knives; he is vanishing roses. He is smoothness;
he is confidence; he is passion.”
--Examiner.com
"Marco, played to sleazy
perfection by Sebastian La Cause, triumphs in the swashbuckling
"A Sword and a Rose and a Cape."
--The Freelance-Star
SHE
LOVES ME at The Arena Stage:
"The heat index goes
up when Miss Lemenager's Ilona and Mr. La Cause's
Steven share the stage..Their scenes together tingle
with erotic promisebut they also are spectacular in their
solos.."
"Mr. La Cause
possesses that catnip sexuality throughout but really lets
loose in "Grand Knowing You", in which falsetto
sweeps betray his wicked, unrepentant heart."
--Jayne Blanchardl, The Washington Times
"The clever songs are
embedded so skillfully into the story that never for a minute
do you doubt any character's need to sing...it would be
hard to imagine La Cause's smooth-as-snakeskin
Kodaly romancing the object of his affection with anything
but a sleazy serenade such as "Ilona"..."
--Peter Marks, The Washington Post
"...a good match with
Sebastian La Cause as Steven Kodaly, a smarmy lothario
who slithers when he walks."
--Susan Berlin, TalkinBroadway.com
"La
Cause is equal parts
handsome, charming, slimy and slick."
--Metroweekly
"Acting
kudos can be fairly evenly distributed. Sebastian
La Cause is appropriately sleazyas the duplicitous
Kodaly"
--Lucia Anderson, The Free Lance Star
TIGER
BY THE TAIL at The Wings Theatre Company:
"...Sebastian
La Cause grounds a Cuban-American firebrand with
authenticity..."
--David Hurst, NEXT Magazine
"Also enduring the pressures
of the pen, and no less vividly limned... a proud, outspoken
Latino with a quick temper, the assignment of Sebastian
LaCause."
--Bruce Michael-Gelbert, Theatrescene.net
"In Tiger by the Tail,
Mr. Becker knows how to turn a tale...building to an effective
coup de theater...Jules Ochoa's production does well by
it's material and the acting is respectable..."
--Anne Midgette, The New York Times
EDENVILLE
at Emerging Artists Theatre Company:
"Edenville,
a new romantic comedy...tells the story of Jules, a smart,
handsome young gay man in search of Mr. Right (played by
the likably hunky Sebastian La Cause)."
"...the play delivers
delightful surprise after delightful surprise..."
"Nick Ruggeri plays
Jules's Dad beautifully; he and La Cause
have real chemistry, making this relationship the strongest
one in the show."
--Martin Denton, NYTheatre.com
"Jules is kind of screwed
up...But his imperfections and unrealistic expectations
make him an interesting character and certainly easier to
identify with than the bland leading men of many romantic
comedies...This was in no small part due to Sebastian
La Cause, whose good looks and vulnerability helped
make Jules such a believable character."
"Some of the most moving
and interesting moments of the play involved the relationship
between Jules and his Dad."
--Byrne Harrison. OOBR
TAKE ME OUT
at The Caldwell Theatre Company:
"The charismatic LaCause
travels a difficult road from godlike self-assurance to
a pained vulnerability and the beginnings of greater depth."
-- Christine Dolen, Miami Herald
"Sebastian LaCause
has the perfect role portraying Darren Lemming. LaCause
breathes attitude and swagger into Lemming. And, although
Lemming unravels his façade, LaCause is right there
showing his scars."
-- TalkingBroadway.com
"Sebastian LaCause's
Darren Lemming is rightly all ego -- a man, who
in his moments of both heady triumph and sullen disappointment,
never sees beyond himself."
-- Charles Passy, Palm Beach Post
"As Darren, Sebastian
LaCause anchors the production. With a dynamic
presence and a powerful body, he's thoroughly plausible
as a baseball demigod."
-- Ronald Mangravite, NewTimesBPB.com
THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW on Broadway: "... an awesome
Sebastian LaCause."
-- Michael Kuchwara, Associated Press
"... Sebastian
LaCause, ... whose perma-tanned body apparently
grows glitter rather than hair, fills out the brief requirements
of the role of Rocky more than generously."
-- Charles Isherwood, Daily Variety
" ... hunk incarnate
Sebastian LaCause ... "
-- Michael Sommers, Newhouse News Service
"Sebastian LaCause seems appropriately lost as the artificial
slice
of beefcake created by Frank 'N' Furter."
-- Ben Bantley, New York Times
"Snap shot momemnts
include ... LaCause's sexy gyrations Rocky-ing
the house."
-- Leonard Jacobs, Back Stage
"Sebastian LaCause is endearingly hunky as Rocky ... "
-- Linda Winer, Newsday
" ... Sebastian
LaCause more than fills the bill as the Rocky of
Frank N. Furter's dreams."
-- Ken Mandelbaum, Broadway.com
