I'm proud to be an original cast member in both the workshop and premiere productions of Dear Edwina, an Off-Broadway musical. Here's what the press had to say about me.

Standout numbers include "Frankenguest," about a truly monstrous party invitee, hilariously portrayed by Doug Thompson.

— The New York Times

The three backyard backups have the most fun, with various characters to play ... and natural comedian Doug Thompson might have the best of it, transforming himself into an uncouth monster and otherwise hamming it up.

— Variety

The show is bright, cheery, and fast-paced, and the cast shines ... particularly Doug Thompson as good-natured lug Billy.

— BackStage

I also performed as Freddy Benson in the 2007-2008 National Tour of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. I got some nice reviews and a bunch of new fans.

Doug Thompson has all the moves and instincts of a very good physical comedian ... he's capable of making you fall out of your seat.

— The Daily Gazette, Schenectady

Thompson excels at physical humor.

— The Indianapolis Star

... the action kicks up a couple of kilowatts when Doug Thompson takes the stage. Any scene or song with Thompson in it is a showstopper.

— The Iowa City Gazette

... a very funny actor who may remind you of Jack Black.

— The Syracuse Post-Standard

Thompson is a master of physical comedy ... and uses that talent in some ways I can't describe in print. [He] hits it out of the park.

— The Spokesman Review, Spokane

Thompson steals the show ...

— The Dayton Daily News

From a review of Baby:

Doug Thompson brings a relaxed naturalness, youthful spirit and solid voice to Danny.

— Houston Chronicle

My reviews in I Sing!:

Doug Thompson brings sly humor and song and dance skills to [the role of] Charlie.

— Houston Chronicle

Thompson gives a solid performance and manages to make Charlie's conundrum as heartfelt as such a problem could possibly be.

— Houston Press

And a nice remark on my performance in Boy Groove:

The show's knockout performer is Doug Thompson who has a killer powervoice, yet still blends beautifully in the company numbers.
