Romeo and Juliet
"...Mercutio...a perfectly cast, zippily funny Ben Chase."--San Diego Union Tribune
"A rambunctious, energetic/frenetic Mercutio (Ben Chase) struts like a young Mick Jagger."--Times of San Diego "My favorite is Ben Chase's Mercutio, who injects much needed humor into this tragic story."--SDGLN "Chase as Mercutio is a standout delivering a finely tuned best buddy of Romeo portrayal."--BWW |
Not Medea
"Chase is top notch.”--Washington Post
“Chase’s oblivious Jason captures this every day version of the Greek hero perfectly. He is small-town-hero–perhaps the high school’s star quarterback now turned local car salesman kind of hero–in a small town woman’s eyes”--DC Metro News “Beautifully acted...Ben Chase portrays a very sexy and confident Jason, who shows an incredible contrast from a carefree, charming boy to a complex and aggressive man and royal ruler.”--Broadway World “...Looking much like a Greek god himself, Ben Chase is a forceful Jason.”--D.C. Theatre Scene “Ben Chase is perfectly cast as the hunky, slightly dim but devastatingly ambitious Jason, all tall dark and handsome...”--MD Theater Guide |
Red Velvet

"The company, once assembled, proves hilariously grandiose in both word and gesture --especially young Charles Keane (Ben Chase)...Every good drama needs a powerful villain, and Chase’s Charles —the embodiment of unbridled racist animus, as well as a big, spoiled baby —ably shoulders the task."-The Boston Globe
"There is able support by Ben Chase, a hangdog Charles Kean whose hilariously posed snippet of Iago makes you glad you don’t have to see more of it." - NPR
"Played with perfectly contemptuous arch arrogance and entitlement by Ben Chase."-Berkshire Eagle

Anna Christie
“Chase’s presence is electrifying as Mat Burke, the idealistic, naïve, yet misogynistic sailor who makes you fall in love with him like a victim of Stockholm syndrome.”--Theatre is Easy
"Chase brings out Mat’s nuances by whipping a shock of dark reddish-brown hair when frenzied and frequently dipping his head in a way that somehow communicates both a working-class identity and fraught feelings toward Anna" -Exeunt Magazine "Ben Chase ultimately brings sympathy to the uncomplicated man who loves – and respects- [Anna].- NY Theatre Guide "Excellent accent work…Ben Chase as Mat is great. He and Theresa Plaehn have tremendous chemistry” -Talkin Broadway |
Vanya and Sonia and masha and spike

"As Spike, actor Ben Chase ably satirizes modern-day Hollywood beefcakes with their washboard abs and empty cerebellums. Chase has two successive LOL sequences, with Spike’s bawdy reverse strip tease followed by his wanna-be actor’s hopeless monologue that easily explains why he wasn’t cast in HBO’s Entourage 2."- The Syracuse New Times
"The scene with Ben Chase, who plays Spike, doing his reverse striptease was hilarious...The crowd cheered and whistled as he waved his shirt in the air in a circular motion."--Daily Orange
