It's A Wonderful Life @ Redhouse Arts Center

"Brendan Didio takes on the role of radio performer 'Harry Heywood' the character that is in charge the majority of the time, creating acoustic sound effects of the radio play.  On top of dealing with over 30 different props on the Foley Table, he takes on the voice of Clarence and numerous people in the town of Bedford Falls.  His voicework is top notch and he without a doubt stole the show with his impressive and lively performance." - Broadway World

A Midsummer Night's Dream with Irish Classical Theatre & Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra

"Brendan Didio is truly marvelous as Puck. This is nothing short of a star sturn. Giving a performance of impressive clarity and focus, he is actually the force that holds this multi-plotted play together, especially in this abbreviated form. Didio playfully tumbles about the stage, making his magical mischief while expertly providing vital exposition and narration." - Theatre Talk Buffalo

"The large cast expertly handles the dialogue and characterizations, often while racing through the forest... Brendan Didio is great fun as Puck. He is light as a feather springing through the forest, a wicked little grin on his face." - Buffalo Vibe

"Didio is a joy to watch as the ever playful Puck... darting and tumbling about, always ready to serve his master, Oberon." - Broadway World

"What was unexpected was the incredible athleticism of Brendan Didio as Puck on that very large Kleinhans stage." - Buffalo Rising

"Numerous performances make this a must-see production.  Firstly, the play features a first-rate pair of Athenian couples, whose already complicated love problems are made even more chaotic by the mischievous fairy Puck (played with acrobatic mirth by Brendan Didio.)"

Waiting for the Host and sequel, Still Waiting @ Redhouse Arts Center

"Brendan Didio as Ben, the son of the preacher and college sophomore now stuck at home with his religious parents is a standout... He is consistent, sarcastic, and delivers an enjoyable performance as he attempts to direct and control this unique group that has gathered together in this socially distant performance via video conference." - Broadway World

"Brendan Didio once again charms in his role as Ben as he delivers a consistent and memorable performance." - Broadway World

"Didio gives college student Ben a vulnerability not seen in the first play." - Syracuse.com
