The Toxic Avenger
"The really tricky work falls to Root and Green, who play not only thugs, waste management officials, mad scientists, police and beauticians, but also a couple of slinky female back-up singers. Root gives a Keystone Cops twist to his policeman part and hits a satiric note as a composite folksinger singing "The Legend of the Toxic Avenger."" - Chesley Plemmons, "newstimes.com"

A Flea in Her Ear
"The opening is highlighted by Jonathan Root as a crowd-favorite fool who erupts in dazzling gibberish...In English or French, in 1907 or 2009, A Flea in Her Ear is the freshest, funniest show around." - Alan Scherstuhl, "The Pitch: Kansas City"

A Flea in Her Ear
""As Camille, Jonathan Root kept the audience in hysterics simulating a speech impediment that resulted in an inability to pronounce consonants.

Waiting for Godot
"Lucky [is] played stellarly by Jonathan Root. Clad clashingly in polka-dots, plaids and suspenders, Root delivered Beckett’s famous, lengthy, essentially punctuation-less Act 1 speech—lampooning academic gibberish—with admirable clarity and panache." - Martin Brady, "Nashville Scene"

All's Well That Ends Well
"Jonathan Root, as the clown Lavatch, makes the most of this classic bit of Shakespearean comic relief, and he has energy to burn." - Martin Brady, "Nashville Scene"
