“…Helwig brings equal parts goofiness and swagger as Jake, the jock and perpetual club leader who catches Christina's eye.”

“His scenes with Surasee Das as Liat were so genuinely affecting that you’d be hard pressed not to get a bit emotional.”

"Helwig plays Lt. Joseph Cable so convincingly that we immediately embrace this Princeton-educated officer's dismay at his attraction to island girl Liat. [He] invests his "Younger Than Springtime" with palpable longing and adds layered meaning to "Carefully Taught."

"Helwig [is] there purely for the thrill of the chase seen in [his] gently sung tribute to narcissism,
"Agony.""

"Show-stopping highlights include ‘Agony,’ sung with over-the-top brilliance by [Calhoun] and [Helwig] as the two commiserating narcissists."

“Helwig is earnest and vulnerable in the quiet start to the play… playing jokers, doctors, counts, and one notable notary in the one-acts.”

"Helwig gave a wonderful monologue at the beginning of the second act, making the dead man...oddly charismatic."

“Their singing and acting...are as good as any professional theatre company of RENT...Helwig (Roger) sang a heart-wrenching version of "One Song
Glory."

"A heartthrob hotter than Twilight's Edward Cullen...audience members joined the Conrad Birdie fan club and shook with giddiness and laughter as Conrad, played by Jonathan Helwig... with his suave demeanor and slick, Elvis-like voice."

“Standout in the cast was [Helwig] as the strapping, senseless and sexist Gaston. His booming Baritone voice and confident physicality made him one of the most entertaining characters in the show, and the many cheers and laughs he received… proved that “there’s no man in town as admired as Gaston.”
