Thomas Ouellette as Hysterium
Mad Cow Theatre

Press

“But at Mad Cow, director Katrina Ploof dispatches her deliciously expressive cast through the pratfalls, mistaken identities and farcical scenery chewing with an expert hand.”

“Thomas Ouellette is so funnily high strung that his nervous outbursts of laughter seem like a necessity. He’s wound so tight he might otherwise snap.” – Orlando Sentinel

“FUNNY THING: MAD COW PLAYS TO THEIR STRENGTHS TO FIT A BOFFO BROADWAY HIT ONTO A TINY STAGE”

“…director Katrina Ploof…has directed the 1962 Tony Award-winning show (words and music by Stephen Sondheim) in a way that emphasizes the strengths of the show: sharp comic characterizations, intimate musical numbers, direct conversation with the audience and an overall friendly, ingratiating tone.”

“Carrying out Ploof’s game plan is a terrific cast of Mad Cow regulars. [Pseudolus] is ably abetted in his madcap adventures by Thomas Ouellette, who imbues the role of Hysterium with perfectly calibrated…well, hysteria.” – Orlando Weekly
