Eric Kunze in Depth
Raves and Comments from Fans
Eric's Reviews
Mamma Mia, Riverside Theatre, Vero Beach
"Sam is the most seriously drawn of the trio of possible fathers. He is played by Eric Kunze, who has that experienced, stage ease and meticulous perfection which comes from a lot of professional experience. Indeed, he has performed major roles on Broadway including Marius in Les Miserables and Chris in Miss Saigon. He and Brummel deliver a sensational “S.O.S.” when it’s clear they still love each other."
Read more here.
Eric Kunze, a veteran Broadway actor like Salonga, is, easily, the real star of the musical. He plays the role by the book--one that any cult follower of the graphic novel would readily and happily approve. Kunze switches gears without any hitch: one time caring, controlling and temperamental the next, pathetic and piteous in the end.
Broadway veteran Eric Kunze nails the difficult role of Bruce with charm, ambiguity and just the right amount of menace and pomposity as he grapples with his obsession with outward order and his own secret longings.

Eric Kunze possesses a ringing tenor that was ideal for the powerful and stirring “I'm Martin Guerre,” and together with Paz, conveyed a passionate rendering of “Last Night of the World” from “Miss Saigon.”
(more)Eric Kunze - I only need five words to describe his performance and vocals, Perfect Broadway Leading Man…PERIOD!
(more)Kunze has a resplendent tenor voice that would have schools of mermaids swimming toward him! The belt is full and rich, while the vibrato is smooth as silk...Kunze wraps his golden voice around both songs like sparkling gift-wrapped presents to give to the audience. He delivers a magical, fascinating performance.
(more)Eric Kunze, known to Music Circus audiences for his roles as Che, Jesus and Joseph (and a good-looking hunk who probably will play 30-somethings for three decades) is perfectly cast as the GI Chris. His impressive vocal chops never cease to amaze. The combination of dead-on pitch, powerfully resonant yet sweet tone, and surprisingly nuanced and natural acting confirm why he made it to Broadway so early in his career, and why the Music Circus should hire him every chance they get.

Thanks for the shout-out, Maggi!
Composer, Sila Shaman and I hope to greet MANY Kunze fans at the Hartford cabaret. We are beyond excited that he and Brindlebeast leading lady, Alexandria Wailes will be debuting three of our songs.
Fans may like to know that Eric will be displaying the TRIPLE THREAT in "Thank You"--singing, dancing--and SIGNING.
Looking forward to our rehearsals in NYC in less than five weeks. I'll be sure to send photos and mini-vids! ;)

It's going to be wonderful to see a side of Eric we haven't seen before in this role. I am really looking forward to being there!
