THE FANTASTICKS


Gregory Daniels’ choreography is as simple as it is graceful

Mark Meszoros – The News-Herald



MURDER BALLAD


Gregory Daniels, has once again (I had the opportunity to see Mr. Daniels' recent work in Carrie at the Beck Center) brilliantly choreographed the movement of the actors.  Mr Daniels attention to every detailed hand movement and symbolic arm extension is amazing and did not go un-noticed
Vivian Luther - inthelandofcleve.blogspot.com



CARRIE


Choreographer Gregory Daniels has captured the explosive, pelvic-centered chemical reaction of adolescence, what Bussert has aptly called "teenage angst hip hop."  Dancers move with staccato, barely controlled violence...
Andrea Simakis - Cleveland Plain Dealer


Gregory Daniels never lets the cast of the (dancing) hook, making movement a significant, powerful motif and the ensemble dancing at least as good (maybe better) as anything I have seen on Broadway
Laura Kennelly - coolcleveland.com


The dancing was outstanding.  Gregory Daniels used gymnastic, modern and contemporary movements to create a whiting dervish of compelling sights

Vivian Luther - She Viewed


The locale primarily takes place in a high school gymnasium where hate, jealousy, raging hormones and bullying are some of the emotions portrayed in remarkably choreographed numbers
Marianne Luther - Senior Viewed



CAROUSEL


Gregory Daniels' muscular and often sensuous choreography requires some serious elbowroom...and a human carousel that earns it's own applause even before the prologue is complete
Christine Howey - Rave and Pan


There is a beautiful choreographed synchronicity to all the numbers as well as dynamic foot stomping that is done in perfect unison )not an easy feat with a cast this large)


Mark Horning - Cleveland Fine Arts Examiner
