“Played with transparent nuance… Jamar Jones' representation of Guy's successful determination to step into his creative power and unencumbered homosexuality was an absolute highlight,” -Melissa Rooney
“Jamar’s performance as Guy is positive and hopeful, despite being a gay man in 1930 Harlem…Jamar shows a lot of humor, his character clearly using that as a tool to work through the pain of his own struggle” - The Sound on Stages
“Jones gives us a wonderful portrait of a dreamer who rarely wavers on that dream and who is certainly a force of nature.” - BroadwayWorld Seattle
“Jones in particular shines throughout the production; his Guy wears his flamboyant designs like a badge of honor, refusing to hide his sexuality even in the face of growing hostility…But Jones also brings out a brittle edge to his exchanges with Angel,”
“[Ayanna Bria] Bakari and Jones… have crackling chemistry, and the sort of lived-in quality that nicely conveys the sense of a longstanding friendship.” - NWTheatre
