THE MOUSETRAP

“Mr. Paravicini is an immediate show-in for the crime, just by his suspicious actions and spy vs. spy glares.  Giroux captures the sinister role with a twist of wicked humor that delights.”
Paul Buehler
BROADWAYWORLD.COM

“An unexpected drop-in dapper Mr. Paravicini (Laurent Giroux) appearing somewhat sinister and mildly deranged.  Laurent Giroux’s portrayal of Mr. Paravicini was extremely funny; he seemed very comfortable in his role and really knew how to “work it”.  It showed in his every movement, every facial expression.”

MAN OF LA MANCHA

“Laurent Giroux skillfully portrays THE PADRE and his “To Each His Dulcinea” is an impressive work of artistry.”
Buzz Bellmont
HOUSTON CHRONICLE

“Playing THE PADRE Laurent Giroux was stellar.  His character bought into the tale of Don Quixote with reckless abandon, which really made Laurent Giroux shine during I’m Only Thinking of Him”, the sentimental “To Each His Dulcinea” [reprise] and his sobering, melancholic rendition of “The Psalm”.

CARNIVAL

“and {Laurent Giroux) as the vain and grandiose circus-master Schlegel. If you can make the trip to Goodspeed ASAP, do so, since the excellent Giroux — whose supercilious glare seems capable of exerting some dark magic of it’s own– must depart on August 18.”

CURTAINS

“Laurent Giroux is a standout as the highly affected, self-absorbed, prima donna of a director Christopher Belling. Nothing is a throw away for this actor. He takes lines in like ammunition and spits them out like red hot bullets. What fun !”

JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR A.D. TOUR

“superbly camped in a funny, winking, bare-bottomed, over-the-top, hilariously swishy and sassy performance, Laurent Giroux neatly steals the show from the superstar.”
by Gerald Nachman

ANNIE the 20th. ANNIVERSARY

“as Rooster Laurent Giroux is so slick he’s virtually human lubricant and provides a needed note of menace.”
by Mary Carol Mc Cauley THE JOURNAL SENTINAL

“scaring the kids to death. That was saved for Laurent Giroux who played Hannigan’s oily brother Rooster. He was just plain creepy and “EASY STREET” was as sleazy as I’ve ever seen it done.”
by Diana Nollen THE GAZETTE

“as Rooster Hannigan Laurent Giroux shows just how stylish campy can be. A good actor, solid singer and gracefully elegant dancer, Giroux makes the performance of “EASY STREET” the best in the show.”
by Alicia Saxe THE SUN POST

“Laurent Giroux rips up the stage in “EASY STREET”. His talent comes alive in this off¬beat character.”
by Ken Glickman
LANSING STATE JOURNAL

THE THREEPENNY OPERA

“The show’s truest menace and most riveting moments come from Laurent Giroux who is even more mesmerizing as The Street Singer than he was in the role over a decade ago. If one wants to see Brecht and Weill done most authoritatively one needs look no farther than Giroux.”
by Ralph Hammann
THE ADVOCATE

“Laurent Giroux as The Street Singer gives a surpassingly sinister performance of “THE BALLAD OF MACK THE KNIFE” .
by Michael Portantiere THEATER MANIA. COM

“The Street Singer [ Laurent Giroux’s all snappish leers and sneers ] opening song “MACK THE KNIFE” – is delivered to the audience in a fascinatingly cold-blooded fashion.”
by James Yeara METROLAND

“Laurent Giroux’s wonderfully haunting rendition of “MACK THE KNIFE” – suggests that this will be a memorable, dark production”.
by Bob Goepfert THE RECORD

SHE LOVES ME

“A standout is Laurent Giroux who makes his only appearance at the end of Act 1 as the WAITER at the Cafe Imperial, if anyone proved true the old adage “There are no small roles, only small actors” Giroux is it. He takes a relatively small part and turns it into not only a scene stealing role, but a show stealing one. This is the type of person you are willing to hang around the backstage door in the cold to meet.”
by Sherri L Shaulis

“another standout performance is Laurent Giroux as the simpering, cynical but sentimental Headwaiter.”

“A standout is Laurent Giroux as the dashing and amusingly amoral Marquis, always in the company of his three “nieces”! ”
by Simon Saltzman CURTAIN UP

“Laurent Giroux is thoroughly wining as a roguish Marquis who keeps three “nieces”in high style.”
