"J. Robert Moore is absolutely brilliant... His timing and body language as he portrays multiple characters is impeccable. Moore is so at home and at ease in the character that the end result is that of a good friend telling you a great story. So delightful is his performance that when it ends you wish there was more of Moore. I suggest you make reservations as soon as possible, because once word of how great this show is gets out, you won't be able to get tickets."

“Effusive … The immensely appealing actor guides us into Babs' below-stairs mini-mall with a can-you-believe-it breathlessness… -a quality that makes Alex in Wonderland even more relatable and human. Moore's enthusiasm is evident in more than just his voice, though; he's perpetually in motion, pinballing to every corner of the Kleberg Theatre… With a simple pose and a soft voice seasoned with just a soupçon of Brooklynese, Moore presents this diva, then fills her with a range of feelings, many we expect, but some we don't, and that surprise creates a figure very, very human.”

"Without a costume change, a mask or even a dramatically different voice he becomes Barbra. The audience is rapt… Moore flips from Babs to his boyfriend or even to Barbra’s famous husband James Brolin, he never misses a beat. Though he's technically talking to himself, all we are seeing from the darkened seats of the house is a heated argument, a touching moment, a timid dalliance between the characters concerned. This is the one-actor show at its best…This is your chance to see an actor who has honed his craft and delivers it with an over-the-top vivacity that is purely endearing."

"J. Robert Moore gives a tour-de-force performance that fully embodies the nuances of Tolins’ wit and warmth. … [in] Moore’s – hands, what begins as a satirical premise quickly becomes an exploration of loneliness and the fierce desire for connection… Buyer & Cellar is a testament to the power of intimate storytelling.

 

In portraying, among other characters, Alex (the hired actor), Barry (his boyfriend), and, of course, Babs herself, Moore masterfully presents a minimalist approach to capturing the nuances of personality and emotion…. Moore follows through, creating a characterization that embodies the star’s sometimes-narcissistic swagger while at the same time leaving room for a vulnerability that allows the audience to truly feel for her.

 

Moore makes Alex, Barry, and Barbra come to life, all with the warmth, humor, and closeness of a gossipy gabfest…. Buyer & Cellar is a solid show, filled at turns with humor and poignancy, that soars in the hands of a performer as talented as J. Robert Moore."

"Creating explosive and wild characters that take us on an impeccably crafted journey... J. Robert Moore’s Black Stache is so deliciously over-the-top that the stage gets a few steps brighter every time he arrives, striding across the boards with a gaunt and elegant style that you can't help but be delighted by. He's lithe, he's silly, and he makes such entertaining choices, that it's hard to not crack a smile when he traipses across the boards."

"Moore couldn’t be more fabulous. With a commanding stage presence and ridiculous lip foliage, he’s hilarious and charming."

 

-Cate Blouke, Austin American-Statesman

Peter and The Starcatcher

 

"Moore's performance ... is downright hilarious; he has all the pomp and flair of a Disney villain, plus a swashbuckling sense of comic timing. Moore consistently brings the laughs, and watching his transformation into Captain Hook is a comic peak in the production."

 

-Elissa Russell, The Austin Chronicle

Peter and The Starcatcher

 

"The shining performance of J. Robert Moore as Black Stache (who goes on to become Captain Hook) is a sheer delight. He commands absolute attention as he camps and preens about the stage in a gloriously over the top performance that makes the other Hook's you've seen fade from memory."

Anything Goes

 

"Standouts in this large cast are fine character actors Michael Burell ... and Jimmy Moore as the foppish English aristocrat Lord Evelyn Oakleigh, Hope's bound-to-be-outwitted fiancé.

"Jimmy Moore is completely engaging as a reluctant department store elf in “The Santaland Diaries.” He makes the most of the intimacy of the Cellar space, making eye contact, shaking hands and seeming to just be chatting with the crowd. He also shows off crackerjack timing."

 

-Deborah Martin, San Antonio Express News

The Santaland Diaries

 

"Jimmy Moore kicks things off in The Santaland Diaries with his dastardly portrayal of a 32-year-old elf working at Macy’s Santaland... What follows is his wildly sarcastic yet charming and smack-your-thigh hilarious description of his journey to unearth a bit of Christmas spirit."

"Lucky is mostly mute except for one long, dazzling, monologue that Moore delivers beautifully."

Waiting for Godot

 

"The evening, however, belongs to Pozzo's slave Lucky, and luck has nothing to do with it. Jimmy Moore displays astonishing acting skill... [and] embodies the walking dead, a zombified version of all of us..."

"A related romantic subplot revolves around the clandestine relationship between Marlow's right-hand man, Mr. Hastings (Jimmy Moore), and Miss Neville (Courtney Coston), a romantic story line well-played by both."
