WHAT THE CRITICS ARE SAYING
"Jordan Sobel is brilliant as Asher Lev. He switches seamlessly from 10-year-old, to 13-year-old, to adult Asher, all while delivering a steady stream of narration and telling his own story (and never leaving the stage). His delivery was conflicted, nuanced, complex and simply marvelous." - Broadwayworld
"As portrayed by the wonderful Jordan Sobel, Asher Lev takes the audience on a journey...Sobel speaks to the audience directly throughout the piece, and this actor's warmth and authority command the stage…Sobel is excellent at delineating the various ages Asher is at different points in the story...a large part of what makes this show work so well is this actor's connection to the audience. Asher Lev's passion is almost contagious and one can't help but root for him." - Talkin' Broadway
"Perhaps most impressive.. is the powerful performance of Jordan Ben Sobel as Jory's Jewish husband, Isaac. Sobel, who has given several noteworthy performances for both Asolo Rep and the Conservatory, manages to not only hold his own with the venerable cast of more experienced actors; he shines in every scene." - The Bradenton Times
“Jordan Sobel, as Paul, has the heaviest lifting of comic timing to match his fraying restraint with his wife’s cannon fire of ideas, and he handles it beautifully. When he finally does wind up in a rant dance across the sofa, he’s hysterically funny.” - The Naples Press
"Ms. Yancey and Mr. Sobel give us three-dimensional people who are realistic, but also funny. You can see what attracted them to each other...This is a finely tuned, well-choreographed ensemble of comedic actors who will entertain you from start to finish...Unless you own a time machine, this is probably the best production of 'Barefoot in the Park' you could hope to see." Florida Weekly
"Played winningly by Jordan Sobel…The actor captures the character’s certainty about his destiny as well as his need to resist his father’s autocracy, without overplaying the latter." - InTheSpotlightInc
"Bringing an appealing laidback everyman quality to the role of Zack is the bearded and soulful Jordan Sobel. Mr. Sobel’s soothing voice, low-key sensuality and quiet charisma informs his engaging characterization." - TheatreScene
"Sobel’s understated performance as Mr. Marks is achingly beautiful." - Palm Beach Daily News
"Jordan Ben Sobel is strong, mature and biting as Isaac". - Herald Tribune
