THE MUSIC MAN - St. Pete Opera

       "Best of all in the cast is the barbershop quartet that wanders in and out of the show like a quasi-Greek Chorus. Songs like 'Ice Cream/Sincere,' 'It's You,' and 'Lida Rose,' with their heavenly harmonies, never sounded so incredible. These four individuals (Matthew Krob, Adam Cannedy, George Slotin, and Branch Fields) are so good that perhaps the show should be retitled The Music Men."

  - Peter Nason, Broadway World   Full 

 

 

THE RAT PACK LOUNGE - Cortland Rep Theatre

           "As Dean Martin, Krob's performance is the most authentic; he replicates Dino's mannerisms, cadence, even the distinctive curly forelock ... from his drunken pratfalls to his shameless womanizing, he lives up to the nickname "King of Cool."

  - Linda Lowen, Syracuse.com Full 

       

          "Matthew Krob pretty well steals the show as Dean Martin ... he finds the man's particular comic swagger and charm and it doesn't hurt that, of the characters, his is the most sharply defined and has all the best jokes. Mug of booze in hand, musing that at least in hell he could get his cigarette lit, Krob makes the most of every world-weary aside."

  - Bryan VanCampen Ithaca.com Full

       

          "... Krob effortlessly landed every joke and played off his fellow castmates perfectly. He charmed in musical numbers such as 'Volare,' 'That's Amore,' 'For Me and My Gal,' and many more."

MAN OF LA MANCHA - Ivoryton Playhouse

          "One of the best voices in this show is Matthew Krob as the Padre. His phenomenal tenor voice soars off the charts in "To Each His Dulcinea" which is breathtaking as well as in the tear jerking "De Profundis" at Alonso's death. Matthew brings the needed depth for this role."

  - Tony Annicone, Theater Mirror

       

           "We'd be remiss by not singling out the beautiful vocals of Matthew Krob as the Padre ("To Each His Dulcinea")." 

  - Don Church and Tony Schillaci, Critics on the Aisle

 

 

BROADWAY CLOSE UP: BILL FINN

- Kaufman Music Center

          "...and Matthew Krob shared the stage wonderfully with Betty Buckley in [the] '14 Dwight Avenue, Natick, Massachusetts,' the tender remembrances of family, friends, and home."

  - Joel Benjamin, TheaterScene.net 

 

 

BROADWAY BOUND - Red House Arts Center

           "Eugene's innocence, combined with Stanley's (Matthew Krob) 'go for broke' attitude makes for several terrific scenes ... a truly memorable evening of solid theater you won't soon forget."

  - Tony Curulla, Syracuse Post-Standard  

 

 

SPAMALOT - Roxy Regional Theatre

          "Best Inherent in Monty Python is the parody of stereotypes, and SPAMALOT delivers. Actor Matthew Krob plays the "dashingly handsome" Sir Galahad with hair-tossing aplomb. Krob also plays a burly Scotsman with an accent as convincing as Sean Connery's."

  - Karen Parr-Moody, ClarksvilleNow.com

THE 39 STEPS - Arundel Barn Playhouse 

         "Matthew Krob, as Hannay, had the dashing, one-eyebrow-raised kind of spirit down perfectly as his character began to relish the intrigue... Whether hanging precariously from a railroad bridge or being menaced by airplanes, Krob’s Hannay was a charmer."

  - Steve Feeney,  Portland Press Herald 

 

          "Matthew Krob, playing the lead, is a picture-perfect example of sophisticated, virile manhood who is a perfect fit for the hero role..."

  - Scott Andrews, Weekly Sentinel

 

          "Matthew Krob does a great job in the singular role of Richard Hannay... Although Hannay is somewhat the straight man among all the absurdities of this play, Krob's clever use of body language and facial expression can draw a laugh with just the raise of an eyebrow."

  - Erin Sullivan, Journal Tribune 

 

 

CRAZY FOR YOU - Arundel Barn Playhouse 

        "The comic gem is Matthew Krob, playing a character based on Florenz Ziegfeld..."

  - Scott Andrews, Weekly Sentinel 

 

 

WEST SIDE STORY - National Tour

         "The addition of high school dance chaperone Glad Hand (Matthew Krob) blundering through some hilariously incorrect (and politically incorrect) translations of his dance instructions is spot-on."

  - Kathi E.B. Ellis, ArtsLouisville.com
