“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.“

“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.”

​

“Jack Cahill-Lemme gave an award-worthy performance as the talented but troubled and tortured Gerry Goffin.”

“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.”

“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.”
