CAPTAIN BLOOD @ First Folio 2017
"The role of dashing hero fits Sandys like a bespoke suit. He’s got the Brooding Handsome Man thing on lock, and a deadpan delivery worthy of Bond. He also makes elaborate feats of derring-do look as smooth as a hot knife through butter." (Chicago Sun-Times/ Pioneer Press) "Nick Sandys plays the title role with offhanded charm and rapier wit." (Chicago Tribune) "Nick Sandys... as close to Errol Flynn as you are going to get." (Dueling Critics WDCB 90.9FM) |
FRANKENSTEIN @ Remy Bumppo 2018 “Sandys’ Creature is primal, feral and recognizably humane. When he yowls in frustration and loneliness, the sound of pain seems to pierce the sky.” (Chicago Sun-Times) “[Sandys’] performance blew me away... I can’t imagine a Creature as compelling as Sandys.” (Hyde Park Herald) “...Sandys is always topnotch, a gifted actor at the apex of his craft...” (ChicagoTheatreReview.com) “A virtuoso performance by Sandys…” (ChicagoOnStage.com)

PYGMALION @ Remy Bumppo 2016
"Nick Sandys seems born to play Higgins, the phonetics expert whose encyclopedic knowledge of how words are formed doesn't keep him from using them as blunt-force weapons." (Chicago Tribune) "... the wonderful Nick Sandys in a performance that practically flays the character alive." (TimeOutChicago.com) "Remy Bumppo Theatre Company's superbly acted production... bristles with intelligence, passion, and hilarity. Nick Sandys is a dynamic Higgins." (Chicago Reader) |

The Man Who Murdered Sherlock Holmes @ Mercury Theater 2016 "...Nick Sandys is an impeccable singing Holmes, his every "elementary" aglow with arch self-certainty." (NewCitystage.com) "...a wonderfully acerbic and stylish performance by Nick Sandys..." (Chicago Sun-Times) "Nick Sandys is a complete delight as Holmes, delivering the witty words by Reeger, Shannon and Mahler with the driest of wit and perfect timing." (Talkin' Broadway) |
