- Sweeney Todd
- Cain Park 2010
- "From the opening frenzied moments of "Sweeney Todd" until its bloody, fiery ending, director Paul Gurgol's compelling production strongly suggests a world teetering on the edge of madness. A perfectly chosen cast, hypnotic staging and wondrous stagecraft, coupled with Sondheim's ravishing music and biting lyrics, make this a not-to-be missed theatrical event of the season."

- A Little Night Music
- Opera Cleveland 2007
Kalliope Stage 2005
Clague Playhouse 1992
- "Gurgol has perpetrated what may well be the premier realization of this much-produced 1973 show seen in these parts in decades. If this outing genuinely exemplifies the requisite level of the Broadway-show component in Opera Cleveland's projected cocktail mix of classic and pop operas -- bartender, you can make mine a double."

- 110 In The Shade
- Kalliope Stage 2006
- "It was refreshing to experience this small and quietly charming show in such an intimate setting and with unamplified voices. I am always amazed by the consistently fine quality at Kalliope, spearheaded by the theater's talented and impassioned artistic director, Paul F. Gurgol, whose production of "110" is delightful. Thanks to director Gurgol, the first-rate cast transcends to find the beauty and poignancy at the show's inner core."

- Cabaret
- Kalliope Stage 2005
- "This production is a clear triumph. Gurgol's ultra-daring conception of "Cabaret" has been 20 years in the making. Every detail Gurgol has added to this show is replete with symbolism. This undoubtedly will be the most meaningful musical production audiences will see all year."
