Admissions
on the West End Written by Joshua Harmon Directed by Daniel Aukin The American Interview Broadway.com Interview Varsity Online Interview "...an incredible tour de force by Ben Edelman ...Edelman is the standout, showing how Charlie's declarations come from the muddled passion of a teenager starting to really grapple with how the world works..." -BroadwayWorld "Ben Edelman, the sole transfer from the New York cast, deservedly won an Obie for his performance and he's one to watch. He fleshes out a convincing teen when the character could have merely been a cipher." -The American "...Our sympathies are drawn to him as the most obvious under-dog on stage. Edelman majors in relatable anguish..." -The Telegraph "Ben Edelman... gives the role tremendous wallop... raising astonished laughter from a London audience..." -The Sunday Times "Ben Edelman transfers across from the original New York production and fully inhabits Charlie. His histrionics are the heart of the play... and build to an impressive finale which Edelman delivers in showstopping style. He is the audience’s guide and voice..." -Express "...Edelman steals the show as Charlie." -Metro |

Admissions
at Lincoln Center Winner! Obie Award Winner! Dorothy Loudon Award Drama Desk Nominee, Outstanding Featured Actor in a Play Playbill: Performer You Should Know Broadway Box: Introduce Your Self(ie) "Ben Edelman is a powerful, fiercely articulate actor, and his Charlie takes the play hostage... the laughter in the Newhouse breaks into outright cheers. Edelman is giving a virtuosic performance..." -Vulture "That son is played by young Mr. Edelman, [who] gives a cyclonic performance, suggesting he is at the beginning of a notable career; he shares the stage with some strong performers here, but no one other than Hecht stands a chance. Harmon accommodates Edelman by giving him a staggeringly brutal and funny speech in the first scene which seems to go on for about ten minutes, although you’re so rapt that you’re unlikely to look at your watch; you are glued to the riveting Edelman." -New York Stage Review "...Surely one of the biggest challenges posed to an actor this season, and Ben Edelman nails it with the fury of a Martin Luther nailing his ninety-five theses to the door of the church in Wittenberg." -Lighting & Sound America "Edelman powers through it with a believable surge of pent-up discontent that is raw and painful enough to keep tightly wound Charlie from seeming like a monster, even as his views veer into reactionary waters" -Hollywood Reporter "Ben Edelman as Charlie provokes both laughter and thought... successfully convey[ing] his character’s adolescent devastation, anger, embarrassment, and confusion... His transition from entitlement to self-reflection and his misguided attempts to do the right thing by jeopardizing his own future are convincingly filled with the ardor and rebellion of youth." -DC Metro Theater Arts |

The Chosen
at Long Wharf Theatre CT Critic's Circle Nominee, Outstanding Ensemble "...the acting is particularly engaging, selfless and truthful... Edelman render[s] a brutally beautiful performance as Danny. " -New Haven Register "Ben Edelman’s Danny is heartbreaking in his bent posture; his delicate, jittery fingers; and his bowed head. At the same time, Edelman shows the flashes of steel that make this young man brilliant and unique." -CT Critic's Circle, Brooks Appelbaum "Mr. Edelman’s Danny by contrast is constrained and awkward; he cannot look you in the eye when speaking to you. But Mr. Edelman’s performance is special in that there are subtle flashes of empathy which progress throughout and at the end of the play, demonstrating a true, transformative arc for Danny." -Onstage Blog "As Danny, Ben Edelman gives a fascinating performance: avoiding eye contact, hands in pockets often, he seems tense, browbeaten by his father’s towering status in the community, but when he lights up on a topic, brought out by his friendship with both Reuven and David Malter, we sense a winning personality under the surface." -New Haven Independent "As Danny, Ben Edelman progresses believably from hangdog teen to open, embracing adult." -CT Critic's Circle, David Rosenberg "...Ben Edelman as Danny Saunders uses the posture of the perennial submissive and depressed to illuminate the character’s inner dilemma: obedience to his father and his destiny versus his own desire to break out." -Two on the Aisle "The young actors, Edelman and Wolkowitz, give superb performances—both in their debut at Long Wharf. As Danny, Edelman is earnest and focused with the goofiness of an adolescent. One feels his pain in the shadows of a humorless, rigidly religious father, who raises him in silence, only talking to him when discussing the Talmud." -Zip06 |
