Footloose:

“Leading the show as Ren, Kyle Southern takes on the role with an undeniable Jeremy Jordan-esque charisma while tackling intense choreography as the teen shaking up the small town through dance.” Read full review here.

“Ren may harbor a rebellious streak, but he is likable and charismatic. And in Slow Burn’s production, Southern makes it easy to see why someone like Ariel would fall for him. The performer lends Ren a free-spirited aura, charming charisma and a can-do attitude. His traits win over not just Ariel, but the town’s other youth – and us. Under Fitzwater’s careful direction, we get a sense of Ren’s energy the first time we see him. That moment occurs at the beginning of the show, when he leaps off a platform and starts singing.” Read full review here.

“The young actor soars through both the vocals and Shannon Mullen’s challenging choreography.” Read full review here.

Escape to Margaritaville (National Tour):

“On opening night, Kyle Southern filled in for the lead role of Tully. The singing actor has a great singing voice and plays guitar often, as is required for the role.” Read full review here.

“I especially enjoyed Kyle Southern's (Tully). Kyle was the understudy...but easily stepped in to the lead with ease and confidence and lead this cast and the audience on an incredible journey.” Read full review here.

Summer: The Donna Summer Musical (National Tour):

“A rousing round of applause must be bestowed upon the entire ensemble. They are the unsung heroes of this musical.  These are triple-threat talents within this sizzling ensemble. Several displayed their sparkling triple talents like the shimmering gems on their finale costumes. The talented thespian that stood out was Kyle Southern as Giorgio Moroder/David Geffen.” Read full review here.
