"His unusually well-paced show held my interest from beginning to end... his witty new special lyrics he wrote to freshen old-favorites made the show so rewarding. The show was brimming merrily with life and I expect some other cabaret performers to check him out to see if there are any bits they can steal for their own acts, or if they can hire him to write clever topical lyrics for them!" Chip Deffaa, The New York Post "Not disappointing patrons is cabaret performer John Patrick Schutz who delivered a side-splitting Titanic parody that had an entire audience including Beverly Arthur, wife of Prime Minister Owen Arthur, rolling in the aisles with laughter. Schutz' performance is nothing short of brilliant, his hair-splitting timing honed to perfection." Karen Dear, The Barbados Advocate "Handsome young baritone John Patrick Schutz is a favorite in Provincetown. I like heart and this guy's got it in spades. Not afraid to take risks, Schutz never offends - or compromises... Particular highlights include his own lyrics to 'Republican's Picnic", again risky. Again, refreshingly effective. Schutz' best moment came with Fred Small's children's lullabye "Everything Possible" giving him his finest moment in an excellent show by a performer we need to see more of." John Hoagland, Cabaret Hotline "His cabaret cards feature him in a bikini and this singer songwriter certainly has the build to wear one in public but you don't just go to look, you go to listen. And what a treat that is! This young man is clever and witty and he has managed to "rewrite" some classic Broadway and Cabaret songs into very succinct and cutting comments on today's world. From Hammerstein to Sondheim, John Patrick keeps you smiling and laughing." Stu Hamstra, Cabaret Hotline OnLine "The audience nearly collapsed with laughter at John Patrick Schutz' parody of the Titanic disaster. His act mocked the musical version of Titanic, exploring what would have happened had other composers written the score. He re-wrote the words to famous songs from "Phantom", "Les Miz" and "The Little Mermaid" to suit sinking ship. It was a riot, patrons rolling with glee." Amanda Hoyos, The Broad Street Journal "Neil Berg introduced John Patrick Schutz, who playfully explored the possibilities that could occur if the musical powers-that-be decided to take the lyrical concept of Titanic, the Musical and set it to the tunes from Les Miserables, Cats, and Disney''s ""Under the Sea."" This clever ditty was written by John and delighted everyone." Philadelphia Stages, Talkin' Broadway "In this special tribute to Maltby & Shire, John Patrick Schutz sang "I Hear Bells" with his usual charm and animation." Pati Beuhler, Talkin' Broadway |
