"Director Jake Berman, theatre arts major, orchestrated the production with a deep passion for past versions ... The commanding presence of the electric ensemble thrust the audience deep into their seats, holding their attention for a spectacular story that had them cheering, laughing and sitting in teary-eyed silence"

"Berman has been cast in the role of Theo in the national Broadway tour of Pippin ... We knew he had it in him from the beginning."

"Jake Berman, who shares the role of Theo with Ben Krieger, displays professional skills in the sole child role, and even shows off some circus skills. The entire musical theater and circus ensemble is splendidly talented and their dedication to their craft shines through in the performance."

"That revelation leads to the show’s bare-bones conclusion as the magic evaporates. But Catherine’s young son Theo (Jake Berman) reminds us that another generation might still be drawn to the same tempting path that drew Pippin."

"Pushed to get Jake auditions for several Broadway musical productions. Once again, Jake impressed the casting agents and directors, getting down to the number two choice for a principal role in both Kinky Boots and Newsies ...  just three months later, Jake auditioned and was hired for the role of Theo (Principal Role) in PIPPIN."

"Jake was undeterred and secured his first role a couple of months later that same year, in the regional production of the highly acclaimed Broadway musical Nine (winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical). Nine is a semi-autobiography of Federico Fellini. Jake played Young Guido (young “Fellini”) a Principal Role. Jake was a hit! The director of Nine said Jake was 'the cherry  on top!'”
