the reviews are in
“Omura is chameleon-like… swinging between bravado, disgust, embarrassment, and anger”.
“Jeffrey Omura… is magical and maniacal in equal measure. Omura brings a youthful exuberance to all of his characters, but is also capable of plunging into emotional depths that are simply heartbreaking.”
“Jeffrey Omura’s Nick and Kristin Villanueva’s Honey are just about perfect.”
“Omura steals the show… his ability to switch into new roles is enthralling.”
