Reviews I Am My Own Wife at Barrington Stage"Gatton Scores Another Tour de Force for Barrington...the prodigiously talented Gatton is back...from the pixilated grin, to the subtly sunken chest and spot-on accent, Gatton is a self-effacing wonder. In Gatton BSC has found a gem who reveals more highly polished facets with each appearance." ---Ralph Hammann, Metroland Online"An absolutely riveting production...starring the truly amazing Vince Gatton...I was truly blown away by this production and performance....On every level, the was one of the finest moments of theater in memory. In baseball, we would call this a no-hitter. In basketball, a slam-dunk. In boxing a TKO. In art, a masterpiece." --- Charles Giuliano, Berkshire Fine Arts"Vince Gatton...does an excellent job of rendering each person...quickly, wholly, and believably. The task requires magnetism, and Gatton has it." --- Michael Eck, Albany Times-Union"...the role of Charlotte von Mahlsdorf et al. turns acting into an extreme sport—the dramatic equivalent of a decathlon. The actor Vince Gatton meets the challenge with humor and humility. He does a star turn by not acting like a star...Gatton's agile acting and multiple transformations (are) especially impressive..." --- Dan Shaw, Rural Intelligence"Mr. Gatton is simply brilliant. With a total of 35 characters...Gatton creates a separate voice, many with differing accents. Remarkable...is the constant switching of roles, vividly and with precise timing. I Am My Own Wife is moving and absorbing, with a true tour de force performance by Vince Gatton." --- Ron Lee, WBRK radio "Gatton is a chameleon-like master of different voices and accents, from German to Texan and points between...It's a most-rewarding evening in the theater." --- Clarence Fanto, WAMC Radio
Candy and Dorothy at Theater Three2006 Drama Desk Nomination - Outstanding Actor in a Play"As Candy Darling, Vince Gatton (gives) a sensational, star-making performance that is nothing shy of spectacular perfection." --- Martin Denton, nytheatre.com"Mr. Gatton...proves his range in a flamboyant portrait that resists caricature. Unlike many drag performers, he is careful to do more than just vamp. Although he vamps quite nicely, too." --- Jason Zinoman, New York Times"The exciting young actor Vince Gatton gave one of last year's most memorable Off-Off-Broadway performances as a diffident cartoonist in David Johnston's compelling Busted Jesus Comix. Now in Johnston's Candy and Dorothy, he plays a far more extroverted character...with equal aplomb, offering a winsome portrait of determined glamour." --- Adam Feldman, Time Out New York"Gatton manages to run away with the show...Gatton fully inhabits Darling, disappearing into the role with such conviction and determination that you forget a man is playing a woman. Gatton honors...Darling's memory with his brilliant rendering." ---Sean Michael O'Donnell, OffOffOnline.com"Gatton proves his versatility as an actor...his Candy is glamorous and sexy, witty and sarcastic, possessed of impeccable comic timing." --- Dan Bacalzo, TheaterMania.comCandy and Dorothy at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater"In this, (playwright David Johnston is) abetted by the terrific Vince Gatton, re-creating his Drama Desk-nominated performance as Candy...His Candy is smart as well as sweet...." ---Louise Kennedy, Boston Globe"Vince Gatton, who received a Drama Desk Nomination for his role as Candy, is terrific as the Warhol groupie....What's wonderful about Gatton's performance is that it is not an over-the-top rendition...Gatton is very funny without being extravagant." --- Debbie Forman, Cape Cod Times"...Vince Gatton...deserved his Drama Desk (Nomination) for his beautifully timed, pointedly feminine, yet never campy turn as Candy." --- Carolyn Clay, The Phoenix
Fully Committed at Barrington Stage**10 Best Productions of 2007 "I found myself simply in awe of Gatton's accomplishment. Not only does he whisk through the complex material with startling fluidity, he also makes each character come alive in ways that surmount mere caricature...it's the subtle strokes and nuances of character that ultimately put us under Gatton's spell... The effect is a seamless performance that is, at once, dazzling, engaging, and exhilarating... Whitmore, Price, Holbrook, Gazarra, Grey....add Gatton to the distinguished list." --- Ralph Hamman, Metroland Online"Gatton plays brilliantly...Volkoff and Gatton make the most of their talents and abilities...not to be missed!" --- J. Peter Bergman, Berkshire Bright Focus
Busted Jesus Comix at Blue Coyote Theater Group"(Busted Jesus Comix is) anchored by the wonderfully moody turn by Mr. Gatton...Mr. Gatton gives a rooted, realistic portrait of a young person with an obsessive need to draw." --- Jason Zinoman, New York Times"Vince Gatton gives a towering performance as Marco, anchoring the play with his layered, sympathetic portrayal of this naive, sweetly goofy, terribly damaged young man." --- Martin Denton, nytheatre.com
The Turn of the Screw at Two Turns Theater Company"An actor with range and luscious subtlety..." --- Pam Harbaugh, Florida Today"Vince Gatton is dashing and looks good in a suit. But more importantly, Gatton can play a metric shit-ton of characters in one show with unbelievable ease and clarity." --- The Craptacular"Vince Gatton superbly plays three parts: the haughty uncle, matronly housekeeper and seemingly demonic Miles.... as spine-tingling as James might have wished." --- Julie Steinberg, The Wall Street Journal"Gatton's portraval of the 10-year-old Miles was profoundly eerie...His ability to use physicality is remarkable." --- Dianna Martin, The Happiest Medium
The Temperamentals at New World Stages"Last Monday I saw understudy Vince Gatton take Michael Urie’'s role in The Temperamentals and I don’t want to imagine the show any other way...It was about Vince Gatton and his amazing work on that stage. --- The Craptacular"Vince Gatton did a magnificent job of subbing for Michael Urie in the role of Rudi Gernreich." --- Michael Portantiere, Broadwaystars.com
