REVIEWS

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical

James Verderamo as Gerry Goffin did a fantastic job of keeping character when the audience unexpectedly (but understandably) booed his character at a scene entrance.

Omaha Magazine Omaha Magazine

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical

James Verderamo – you might remember him from The Bridges of Madison County at the Playhouse – was excellent as the brooding and complicated Goffin.

Betsie Freeman Omaha World Herald

Parade

James Verderamo is perfectly cast as Leo Frank. His appearance, his demeanor, and his stellar voice are ideal to express this complex character. His outwardly meek personality is bonded to his iron clad faith.

Christine Swerczek Broadway World Omaha

Beautiful: The Carole King Musical

James Verderamo cuts a tragic figure as Gerry Goffin.  Verderamo’s Goffin is a lyrical genius, but never satisfied with what he has and is always looking for the next big thing.  Verderamo well captures Goffin’s battle with manic-depression as he laments not being able to keep up with the times as the style of songwriting changes over the latter half of the 60s and his desire to have his cake and eat it too, by remaining married to King, but indulging in other romances.  Verderamo also has a fine, mellow voice exemplified in “Take Good Care of My Baby” and his personal take on “Up On the Roof”.

Chris Elston Omaha Freelance Reviewer

Cabaret

James Verderamo (Ernst Ludwig) draws us in, then repels with a polar opposite force as an anti-semitic Nazi. He’s the guy you love to hate. The perfect antihero. A symbol of all that is wrong in the world. And he’s good at it.
