Deborah Klugman –LA WEEKLY
“…his transformation into Wiesenthal is remarkable... his mannerisms, movements and accent… I highly recommend this production.”
Carol Kaufman Segal – Reviewplays.com
“His performance was as riveting as it was flawless… It should be mandatory for young and old – especially young – to see 'Wiesenthal' a brilliant tour de force by Simon….I mean, Tom Dugan.”
Jerry Cutler – The Beverly Hills Courier
“This is a magnificent play that needs to be seen by all young people who are studying the Holocaust. Books, films and documentaries are very informative but there is nothing as effective as a live theatrical presentation to help people understand the Holocaust and remember the important lessons that must be learned from it.”
Adair Kline
Library and Archives director
Simon Wiesenthal Center

Tony Frankel – Stage and Cinema
