HAIR, as Claude, American Theatre Company, Chicago // Directed by PJ Paparelli + JR Sullivan

Time Out Chicago:  "★★★★★

Chicago Tribune:  "Highly Recommended...3 ½ Stars"  "...Claude (played with some sadness by Zach Kenney)...A charismatic young performer..."  *Included, "Top Ten Shows of the Year" Feature

Chicago Theatre Review:  "Zach Kenney truly leads this cast as a multi-dimensional, charismatic Claude."

Chicagoist:  "...Earnestly passionate...ATC’s reinvented Hair is not the sanitized, Broadway babes version of productions past. The group is quasi-led by...Claude (Zach Kenney), the sweet anglophile whose draft number is up next. Kenney shows us a truly conflicted Claude, a young guy who is generally scared of either path he faces: burn his draft card and go to jail, or be shipped off to Vietnam."

Newcity Stage:  "Recommended" "...The...storyline concerns the anguished indecision of Claude (played with a sweet vulnerability by Zach Kenney)..."

Buzz News Chicago:  "Zach Kenney is just terrific as 'Claude'...Kenney shows a vast range of emotions and is also able to carry the role vocally with just the right amount of finesse."

 
Kenney’s beatific Claude...feather[s] this tribe’s nest.

Zach Kenney radiates a sweetness and light that grab your heart...
