Reviews
Assassins - New Repertory Theatre
"The New Rep cast has a terrific lineup of singers who handle the Sondheim score with aplomb. Martin's resonant voice gives extra gravity to 'The Gun Song' and he blends in beautiful, choir-like harmony with Linehan and Peloquin." - Nancy Grossman, broadwayworld.com
"Kevin Patrick Martin imbues Czolgosz with a passionate desperation that makes him the only murderer for whom we can summon any empathy." - Terry Byrne, The Arts Fuse
"Kevin Patrick Martin is Leon Czolgosz, a Polish-American steelworker, whose frustrations at the plight of his fellow laborers and working men led him to Buffalo to kill William McKinley. Mr. Martin possesses a particularly impressive singing voice that he uses to great effect, particularly in the "Gun Song" along with Booth, Guiteau and Moore." - Al Chase, The White Rhino Report

A Christmas Carol - North Shore Music Theatre
"Kevin Patrick Martin is a looming, menacing presence as the Ghost of Christmas Future and touching as the Young Scrooge."
- Sally Applegate, Wicked Local of Boston
"Kevin Patrick Martin [...] plays Christmas Future as well as Young Scrooge. He has grown into a dynamic actor playing these two roles and has a touching scene with Belle. [...] She and Kevin Martin do an excellent dance in this scene and their break up scene is very poignant, too."
- Tony Annicone, Theatre Mirror
"That sense of magic at every turn draws the audience into the world of 19th-century London and Dickens’s oh-so-familiar tale. Kimbell’s decision to double roles — [...] and Young Scrooge (Kevin Patrick Martin) doubles as the Ghost of Christmas Future — creates a subtle but effective connection to the themes those characters represent."
- Terry Byrne, The Boston Globe
Into The Woods - The Stephen Sondheim Center
"Kevin Patrick Martin (Cinderella's Prince) has a gorgeous baritone and delightfully arch facial expressions."
- Mosie Lasagna & Cindy Buck, The Fairfield Weekly Reader
"They are played by Kevin Patrick Martin and Matt Speer, who bring a comic relief and physicality to their scenes that keeps you laughing if not gawking at their ain't-I-the-most-gorgeous-thing-you've-ever-seen personas. In addition, they also excel as menace-in-a-mask Wolves pursuing Little Red Riding Hood and The Three Little Pigs."
- Patrick Bosold, The Fairfield Ledger
Lucky Stiff - Festival 56
"Martin plays his character's discomfort well and sounds great, particularly in his wistful solos..."
"and a beautiful duet with Martin when they realize that maybe there is something more to be gained than in inheritance."
- Ron McCutchan, The Bureau County Republican
Forever Plaid - Festival 56
"The four men of the Plaids [...] work and blend well as a vocal ensemble, an absolute essential for this type of show [...] Kevin Patrick Martin stands out as the nerdy Smudge; a running joke of his inability to tell left from right stays fresh, and he delivers a sweet monologue on old 45s and the aspirations of the Plaids. He also sets up a sock puppet joke that circles back nicely in an energetic Ed Sullivan homage."
- Ron McCutchan, The Bureau County Republican
A Chorus Line - Pawtucket Players
"The Players found dancers to do a credible job in the ensemble as well as some solo standouts. The most watchable is Kevin Patrick Martin, a slender young man who moves with innate rhythm."
- Kathie Raleigh, The Pawtucket Times
"Funny roles include Bobby played by Kevin Patrick Martin [...] whose anecdotes are a hoot including one where he spray painted a kid with silver paint."
- Tony Annicone, Theatre Mirror
Fiddler on the Roof - Fiddlehead Theatre - October 2008
"There are really too many strong performances to mention them all [...] Kevin Patrick Martin shows off his singing and dancing chops as Fyedka, the Russian soldier who falls in love with Chava."
- Jim Dorman, The Patriot Ledger
"The three suitors also give believable interpretations of roles that are meant to depict various male lives of the times as much as be swains of the daughters. [...] Kevin Patrick Martin as Fyedka, the Cossack opposed to race baiting."
-Jay Bourne, EDGE Boston
"One of the funniest and most talented actors I have had the opportunity to work with in the theatre"
