DIRECTOR

"The audience the night I went was wild with laughter and awed by the personal touches on a true Broadway classic... (This production) is now my standard to compare every future version of Little Shop of Horrors I will watch."

"Josh knocked it out of the park when it came to choreography on this show and...direction, as well."

"One day, he will be the mastermind and talent behind something that lights the world on fire, and I will be saying, 'I knew him when...!'”

"Josh holds a strong belief in hard work, himself, and his abilities to make something spectacular."

"Josh's attention to detail is like no other director I have worked with."

"The first time I saw one of Josh's directed pieces, I knew this was his calling."

"Josh’s enthusiasm and passion are palpable and, most of all, contagious for anyone he works with."

ACTOR

"Josh Rigo gives a tour de force performance as Alex."

"Josh is a star. I am absolutely certain that Josh’s future holds extraordinary things!"

"I am freakin' speechless. I couldn't even take my eyes off this son of a ***** for one minute!"

"Josh’s energy is boundless. What sets him apart is the way he wholeheartedly throws himself into his endeavors."

"I'm at a loss for words...Josh was beyond brilliant."
