Character — MATT DANIELS

Lord Capulet

ROMEO & JULIET, Milwaukee Rep

“Daniels shows once again his versatility at being able to play any role and he completely immerse himself. It’s stunning to watch with its timeless realism.” — MILWAUKEE SHEPHERD-EXPRESS

As Lord Capulet, Juliet's father, Matt Daniels blisters his anguished daughter with a fiery my-way-or-the-highway speech viewers won't soon forget. — MILWAUKEE JOURNAL-SENTINEL

Matt Daniels brilliantly adds a country twang and explosive temper to turn Lord Capulet into the production’s driving force, and he also slyly appears as servant Samson. — URBAN MILWAUKEE

Escape from Peligro Island, First Stage

"Matt Daniels has a deft grasp of adventure drama energy in a variety of traditional action roles—from the roguish ally to the dark arch villain, the hero’s father and many more." - SHEPHERD-EXPRESS

"Daniels brings his regal bearing and impeccable Juilliard training to a Tintin-ish variety of outrageous, highly entertaining conspirators and villains." - MILWAUKEE JOURNAL-SENTINEL

Chiron

The Lightning Thief, First Stage

"Matt Daniels does an amazing job in a somewhat astonishing array of roles including the centaur Chiron, Poseidon and Hades. From the noble warrior instructor of the main character to a wild Charles Manson-inspired portrayal of Hades (and quite a few characters in between) Daniels is dynamic." -SHEPHERD-EXPRESS

"Daniels delights as the centaur Chiron and two great gods: a beach-bum Poseidon and an Alice Cooper-esque Hades. How does one play a centaur? If you’re Matt Daniels, you do it with the swish of a horse tail and a smart little strut. It’s playful choices like this that impress with inventiveness." - BROADWAYWORLD

"Matt Daniels creates comically defined precision in the role of social worker Albert." —SHEPHERD-EXPRESS

"And the reliable Matt Daniels plays an absurdly uptight bureaucrat with great sympathy." —MILWAUKEE EXAMINER

Mrs. Whatsit

A WRINKLE IN TIME, First Stage

"The audience-pleasing Matt Daniels earns the biggest laughs as the slightly crazed, oddly dressed Mrs. Whatsit. His voice and mannerisms are a treat to watch." —SHEPHERD EXPRESS
