Read acclaim for Mr. Eaton’s recent performances.
“...my favorite performance came from baritone Charles H. Eaton, whose Ponchel was powerfully sung, endearingly acted and endowed with an easy humanity...”
“Powerfully voiced baritone Charles H. Eaton counters with a disarmingly believable take on Sam...it’s another outstanding performance from the astonishingly chameleonic Eaton. You’d never recognize him as having been the devilish Freddie Mercury-channeling villain in last season’s production of Handel’s “Rinaldo.””
“There’s also Ponchel (Charles H. Eaton), aide de camp to Audebert, who injects much humanity and even humor into the proceedings by rhapsodizing over good coffee in true French fashion.”
“I saved two of my personal favorites for last, the Scottish Father Palmer and Ponchel, Audebert’s aide de camp, played and well sung by bass Wm. Clay Thompson and baritone Charles H. Eaton. Father Palmer exhibited such strong caring for his men, and Ponchel was such a likeable, gentle soul, clearly a casualty-in-waiting in a war.”
“Charles H. Eaton brings a beautiful, deep voice to his performance as Sam, the male lead in Trouble in Tahiti. Eaton sings with great authority, most notably when describing himself as a man born to be a winner, a powerful segment of Bernstein’s score. Eaton shows Sam gloating and overly impressed with himself at the office and the gym, but at a loss for how to conduct himself in his marriage.”
“Providing the heartbreak and bravado, Charles H. Eaton (Sam) and Zoie Reams (Dinah) transcend the material, taking it to new heights. They hold such control over their vocals and emotions that it is impossible not to be completely swept away by their talent.”
“Zerlina and her husband Masetto (Charles H. Eaton) [were] a perfectly matched couple, vocally, physically, comedically. These two are a joy to watch.”
“Baritone Charles Eaton sounded terrific as Carl-Magnus and delivered the pompous dragoon’s stuffed shirt comedy without going entirely over the top.”
“Keely Futterer was a powerhouse in the role of the evil Armida, as was her counterpart, Charles H. Eaton as Argante...”
“Charles Eaton, who as the Count looks like a prince in “Into the Woods,” turns crisply on his heels and delivers a vocal performance to shake the balcony.”
“Like any ruler, he has his hands full trying to deal with Roman occupation and a people who seem to want freedom from Roman rule but are easily “bought” by promises from Vitellius, the Roman consul—a role excellently sung by young baritone Charles Eaton. ”
