REVIEWS OF MY PERFORMANCE AS NEDDA LEMON, IN BERKSHIRE THEATRE FESTIVAL’S “WHERE HAS TOMMY FLOWERS GONE?”
“But the discovery here is the remarkable Morgan Cox, whose Nedda Lemon is the one true character to emerge from the madness… Cox transforms the lines into dramatic action of consequence and gives a multi-layered performance that is truthful, profoundly funny, achingly honest and spontaneous.”
-Ralph Hammann, The Advocate’s chief theater critic.
“Several cast members deserve singling out…Morgan Cox, playing Tommy’s live-in girlfriend, makes you feel both her love and exasperation.”
-Senior writer, Steve Barnes, of The Times Union.
“…a desperate cellist named Nedda Lemon (a convincing Morgan Cox). Nedda is initially beguiled and charmed by Tommy…The emotional weight and interest here is carried by Serrell and Cox.”
-The Berkshire Eagle’s Jeffrey Borak.
“Morgan Cox shines as Tommy’s live-in girlfriend…She’s wholesome, “normal,” eager, responsible, and the posessor of enough “opposites” to fall for a reverse-mirror-image such as Tommy Flowers…Cox conveys earnestness with both style and energy. She has lovely diction and a raspy exasperation to her voice…it fits the character perfectly.”
-Dan Valenti, of “The Dan Valenti Show,” on WBKRP Radio, Pittsfield, MA.
“…Morgan Cox, who brings appealing depth to Nedda Lemon, the woman with whom Tommy sets up house for most of the play. Cox conveys conflict between enjoying Tommy’s counter-culture ways and seeking greater conformity…”
-Jonathan Levine, of The Pittsfield Gazette.
“…but there are memorable, even moving moments from Morgan Cox as Tommy’s reluctant lady-love…”
-Carl A. Rossi, Theater Mirror Reviews (www.theatermirror.com).
“Morgan Cox is excellent as the young cellist, Nedda Lemon, who has the misfortune to fall in love with Tommy.”
-J. Peter Bergman of Berkshire Bright Focus
“Director E. Gray Simons III surrounds himself with a lively cast (special kudos to Morgan Cox…)…”
-The Boston Globe’s Louise Kennedy.
REVIEWS OF MY PERFORMANCE AS THE GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PAST, IN BERKSHIRE THEATRE FESTIVAL’S “A CHRISTMAS CAROL.”
“I was especially impressed that the directors and designers were able to surprise me with the entrances of the Ghosts of Christmas Past (Morgan Cox) and Christmas Present (Anthony Mark Stockard). I mean, they entered right on cue and it was perfectly plain how they got there, and I still gasped, as did most of the rest of the crowd, both times.”
-Gail M. Burns (www.gailez.com).
“Other standout performances include…Morgan Cox as an especially glamorous Ghost of Christmas Past…The production is first-class on all counts.”
-WAMC’s Clarence Fanto.
“…Fine contributions from the large cast…Morgan Cox’s authoritative Ghost of Christmas Past.”
-Ron Lee, of WBRK, Pittsfield, MA.
REVIEW OF MY PERFORMANCE AS ELLIE, IN ALLENS LANE’S “PSYCHOPATHIA SEXUALIS.”
“…Howard’s wife, Ellie (Morgan Cox), is the very essence of the well-intentioned bungler.”
-Hugh Hunter (www.chestnuthillocal.com).
