"Davis is a rubbery-bodied dream, bounding about the stage as the haplessly dense Will" - Time Out London
"Will played with comic precision by Davis" - WhatsOnStage, London UK
"Davis makes ebullient, robustly sung delight out of the doofy Will" - Sara Holdren, New York Magazine
ANOTHER WHITE MAN in WE ARE PROUD TO PRESENT A PRESENTATION...
NEW YORK, Soho Rep
"Davis amuses as the character actor who seems to be angling for a bigger role to play, and who smartly turns a potentially offensive portrayal of a black grandmother into one of the more grounded moments of the entire show."
- Dan Bacalzo, Theatermania
JIMMY DAVIS
JULIET in ROMEO AND JULIET
WASHINGTON DC, Shakespeare Theatre Company
"First of all, Davis’s Juliet is amazing. He makes Juliet seem young again. He’s all nose and knees, all coltish, breastless edge-of-fourteen. Somehow the gender confusion in Davis’s performance reflects the inherent conflict between Juliet’s aptitude for abstraction and her lack of maturity." - Eve Tushnet, Washington Life Magazine
KING RICHARD II in RICHARD II
PHILADELPHIA, Quintessence Theatre Group
"Burns offers Davis' Richard a star turn, and Davis wears it like an ermine robe." Wendy Rosenfield, The Inquirer
"Davis has an uncanny way of coming off as 17, with a curled lip, an innocent look and the occasional disposition of a high-school prankster." - Howard Shapiro, WHYY
EDMUND TYRONE in LONG DAY'S JOURNEY INTO NIGHT
PHILADELPHIA, Quintessence Theatre Group
"His performance effectively details the young artist/poet struggling to find his own path is a new world."
Neal Newman, DC Metro
"Davis brings off the play’s one glimpse of ecstatic union with life, making it sing for a moment before darkness." -
John Timpane, The Enquirer
JIM & TOM & KENNETH in CLYBOURNE PARK
NEW HAVEN, Long Wharf Theatre
"Davis is terrific as the bumbling priest, bewildered builder and bruised soldier." -
Sherry Shameer Cohen, Broadway World
DAVID in THE MOTHER OF INVENTION
NEW YORK, Abingdon Theatre
"Davis and Reed both have you hooked for the entire span of their emotional journey, compelling you to laugh, cry, get angry and empathize with them as they fight for their mother's sanity." -
Matt Smith, StageBuddy
BOBBY in AMERICAN BUFFALO
WASHINGTON DC, Studio Theatre
"Davis as Bobby was vulnerable and heartbreaking." -
Julie LePorte, Washington Life Magazine
"We can see the wheels slowly turning inside his mind, and the ripe lines seem to plop out of his mouth the nanosecond they can have maximum effect. It is excellent work." -
Tim Treanor, DC Theater Scene
THE POLICEMAN in THE HOUSE OF BLUE LEAVES
NEW YORK, Broadway
"Helmer David Cromer knows the secret to a good revival: Keep it faithful and don't comment from on high. The year is 1965 and America is looking for miracles in Cromer's transporting revival with topliners Ben Stiller, Edie Falco, and Jennifer Jason Leigh." -
Marilyn Stasio, Variety
