“Handsome and gifted Jack Cahill-Lemme gives an incredible, mesmerizing performance as Marc Chagall. His singing voice, his ability to move and dance—in fact Jack’s very essence is forever and always the epitome of this early 20th century Jewish artist.”
-Colin Douglas, Chicago Theatre Review
“Cahill-Lemme’s bright smile, youthful energy, and crystalline tenor make him a powerfully charismatic Chagall, the kind of idealistic artist that any young person might follow to the ends of the world.”
-Zac Thriffiley, BroadwayWorld
“Jack Cahill-Lemme’s portrayal of Marc Chagall is nothing short of extraordinary. His performance captures the artist’s look, essence, and enigmatic energy. Having seen interviews with Chagall, I can say Cahill-Lemme succeeds in bringing the painter’s spirit to life. His passion and curiosity are palpable, and the actor portrays Chagall’s internal world with subtlety and care.“
-Frank Meccia, Around The Town Chicago

“Jack Cahill-Lemme perfectly captures Gerry’s turmoil as he deals with depression and is so convincing as a womanizer that it’s difficult not to get upset at him when Gerry breaks Carole’s heart. As for his singing, his delivery of ‘Pleasant Valley Sunday’ in Act II sounds even better than the Monkees’ version.”
-Rita J. Egan, TBR Newsmedia
“Jack Cahill-Lemme gave an award-worthy performance as the talented but troubled and tortured Gerry Goffin.”
-Cindy Sansone-Braff, Smithtown Matters
“Cahill-Lemme helmed the role of Christian and didn’t miss a step or a note during the performance. All of the acting was strong.”
-Kevin Kinder, Fayetteville Flyer
“Cahill-Lemme is a much better singer than Ewan McGregor, who played Christian in the movie. His Americanness adds a little bit of humor to his and Satine's meet cute, but his ability to belt out the songs secures his performance, especially for the tune that Lizzo went viral for on TikTok. I don't want to give too many spoilers here, but his performance of the song was as good as hers.”
