“I directed All’s Well That Ends Well a couple of years ago. I’ve never seen a Lavatch that I liked. I really struggled with it going in. I was incredibly fortunate to find a brilliant actor Josh Miccio to play Lavatch for me. He was a revelation. I was like ‘Oh my god, this part is funny after all. Who knew?’ Sometimes it just takes a brilliant actor.” — Owen Thompson, “The Bardcast: It’s Shakespeare, You Dick!” podcast
“Another stand-out performance comes from Josh Miccio, who plays Ben Gunn, a man who had been on The Walrus but was left on the island to die. Miccio’s body language and facial expressions are carefully crafted to emphasize the toll that being stranded on the island has taken on Gunn. It is a physically demanding role that Miccio handles beautifully.” — Andrea Stephenson, Broadway World
“Ben Gunn (Josh Miccio) is an abandoned shipmate on Treasure Island who’s described as “smart as paint.” Although he is a late-add to the pirate band, he has no trouble fitting right in with the rest of the misfits. Miccio brings Gunn to life as purposefully indecisive and sniveling, yet weirdly endearing, salting his character interpretation with strange idiosyncrasies. He contorts his body, nimbly making use of all his available space, yet still finds time to comedically nibble on newcomers.” — Gina Napoli, The Burg
“As the first act ends and then moves into the second act, the mood shifts. We meet a Shepherd and his son, portrayed by Jeff Wasileski and Josh Miccio, who find and take in Hermione’s baby girl Perdita to live with them in Bohemia. Wasileski and Miccio, along with Joel Colvin as the wily Autolycus, are hilarious. Their verbal banter is delightful, as is their physical comedy.” — Andrea Stephenson, Broadway World
“At the same time, Hip to Hip trusts the audience enough to avoid going overly broad, something that would be very easy to do with a play centered on a character popularly known as a villainous hunchback who orders the murders of his own nephews. This does not mean that there is no levity, as a scene with the Lord Mayor of London (Josh Miccio) following the execution, at Richard’s order, of Lord Hastings proves.” — John R. Ziegler and Leah Richards, Thinking Theater NYC
“Comic relief is provided by a jester, Trinculo (an entertaining Josh Miccio), and a drunken butler, Stephano (the resonant-voiced Keith Otani Howard).” — Mark Lord, Queens Chronicle
“Miccio tears into this tiniest of major parts with the gusto it deserves…Short of stature, huge of ego, he’s the Snidely Whiplash of despotic rulers, and Miccio is clearly having all the fun that playing the character deserves. Both of his big numbers, What’s Up, Duloc and The Ballad of Farquaad, are gems on the Allenberry stage, and the audience has responded fully to the hilarity.” — Marakay Rogers, Broadway World
