San Francisco Bay Area Theatre Critics Circle "Go See It" production

"...a foreboding police officer named Lockstock (Doug Brook) ... In a deep, calming voice that sounds like that of a trusted radio announcer, Lockstock explains to Little Sally (Lizzie Izyumin) that Urinetown is 'a mythical place ... a bad place ... filled with symbolism ... a town like any town that you might find in a musical.'" – Talkin' Broadway

Review (Talkin' Broadway): Urinetown

"Brook’s expositional charisma is well-calibrated and cadenced in the titular opening number, and given a wildly fun rap-esque turn in 'Cop Song,'..."

Theatre Teacher Talk: Urinetown

"He did a great job... he had good comedic timing... he had a really great presence on stage and with his character."

"The strength in Brook’s delivery rests in his knack for appealing to the audience.

"Most one-person shows require charisma or an “it” factor which brings the audience into the play without seeming desperate. Brook has all these qualities while coupling with them a focused trajectory of what messages need to be hit for the audience."

"Brook’s presentation is riveting, educational, and thought provoking."

Review: Tri-City Voice

"The role of the entitled authority Sir Lawrence Wargrave is effectively rendered by Doug Brook. His performance of the detached, legal mind is dead-accurate and convincing. And was it just me who noticed his resemblance to Raymond Burr's Perry Mason?"
