"Zach Roberts as the despairing Pierre is another actor who understands understatement"

"...a sweet Zach Roberts..."

"As a character actor myself, however, I must direct your attention to what is hands-down the funniest series of characters in the show, all of them played by Zachary Roberts (whose name shows up in the program so often, they might just as well say he does it all).  Only a pro can pull off the changes in physicality, voice and walk required, and Roberts can switch at the bat of an eye between a lusty notary, a geeky undergrad (Angelique’s intended; eww …)a pharmacist, etc.—you’ll do a double-take every time he comes on, as you glance at the program and realize yup, it’s him again."
MD Theatre Guide

"Each actor brought a strong physicality to his or her role... This specificity was especially important for actor Zachary Roberts, who played a whopping six parts in the show, not one of who moved in the same way."

“As Monty, the former, Zach Roberts is a charmer, an endlessly inventive male ingenue, whose strong come-on to Violet turns surprisingly tender."

"However, the secret weapon of both shows is the use of music, curated to weave between both shows, certain songs symbolizing certain ideas, and developing over the course of some 4-plus hours with a company. Arranger, composer, and music director Zach Roberts has done some great work in that regard, while the entire rest of the cast lends their voices, along with various other instruments, to create this highly effective through-line. One would never have presumed that Billy Idol and Pete Townsend could create such emotional resonance."
DC Theatre Scene


"And it is the music here that has a special charm; Zach Roberts, who plays aspiring thespian Robin Starveling onstage, doubles as composer backstage, and he creates some truly wonderful acoustic passages to accompany and drive the action."
MD Theatre Guide

"Speaking of notes, this is a musically talented troupe with beautifully blending vocals."

"Zachary Roberts, the only actor who doubles characters, brings twice as many laughs late during Act III when he arrives as Nerine the female nurse. Roberts’ portrayal of the narcissistic Leandre is comic genius. His ability to remain hot-tempered while still completely infatuated with his own person is an added layer of hilarity."

“Roberts is a force onstage – at home with the extreme sarcasm and humor of the script as well as the dramatic parts, all backed up by his Broadway-ready voice on songs like the poignant “Public Life” and “The Saddest Song.””

“The other young leads certainly are not shying away from their demanding roles. Zach Roberts (Marius) and Aidan Quartana (Enjolras) lead the student rebels. They are commanding actors with voices to match their presence. They inspire the ensemble members to fight in this revolution and are committed to to saving all of France at the arena-style space at the barricade. Roberts also captured the loneliness of self-reflection in the beautifully sung “Empty Chairs and Empty Tables.””
