Here's what's been said about ROB MAITNER (the nice things, at least). EVERY XMAS STORY EVER TOLD "The best thing about this revival is Rob Maitner, hilariously making fun of himself at the same time he makes fun of the Christmas tales we are reliving. Take for instance his over-the-top impersonation of Carol Channing (since when did she ever host the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade?), his Charlie-in-the-Box, and his constant pharmaceutical drug references. Maitner never allows himself to be weighed down by the material and provides the evening with the brevity it greatly needs." – Matthew MacDermid, Talkinbroadway.com "A cross between Jeremy Piven and Nathan Lane." – Orlando Weekly   THE BAD SMILE "There are some riveting moments, particularly from thesp Maitner" - Variety  FAIRY TALES   "Especially notable…Rob Maitner for his comic turns."  – Variety   "Praiseworthy" – New York Times   "Brilliant" – Clive Barnes, NY Post   TIS THE @#$%-ING SEASON   "This is no ordinary crazy person, this is Rob Maitner…He's one of Off-Off-Broadway's premiere song-and-dance men, with a forehead-slapping flair for comedy that many Broadway actors could learn from…everything connects in Maitner's intricately crafted performance, and working with Stuart and director Adam Fitzgerald, he keeps presenting more gifts for you to open, until you're seat-deep in theatrical crumpled wrapping paper…Maitner, though, doesn't need to vanish into his role - he subsumes it, making it impossible to tell where the role as written ends and the actor begins. That's a treat any time of year, true, but it's especially appreciated now, at the start of the season's longest, coldest stretch, in which new works with performances this electric aren't exactly regular occurrences. But there's no better time to get in the spirit - you couldn't do much better than to find Maitner under your tree." – Matthew Murray, Talkinbroadway.com   FLEET WEEK   "Mr. Maitner is especially good" – New York Times   THE OTHER SIDE OF DARKNESS   "Agent Jay is nothing short of hilarious with his well-delivered barbs and comments; Rob Maitner getting many laughs with expert timing. And the writing delivers what seems to be an endless supply." – Rob Lester, Edge NY   "The vibrant, ruefully humorous Rob Maitner as Jay brings a distinctive spark of complexity to a character that might otherwise be perceived as clichéd and, lately, obligatory. He mines a depth and self-awareness from Jay's opportunism and romantic disappointment that I'm not sure even exists in the text" – Terri Galvin, NYTheatre.com
