What critics had to say about Michael in Mack & Mabel…
“The great Michael Berresse, dances up a storm and snarls deliciously as Mabel’s lascivious lover William Desmond Taylor.”
- Brian Scott Lipton - Theater Pizzazz
“As the sleazy director who lures Mabel, Michael Berresse, 20 years after his memorably deft and dynamic turn in Kiss Me, Kate, demonstrated that he still has a distinctive way of moving that rivets the eye.”
- Susan Reiter - Arts Meme
The surprises comes later, when Mabel, one of the screen’s biggest stars, starts to slow dance to bigger and better things in the arms of director William Desmond Taylor, gorgeously embodied by the equally stunning Michael Berresse (Broadway’s The Cher Show).
- Times Square chronicles
“Sennett has a rivalry with the film director William Desmond Taylor (Michael Berresse, characteristically captivating).”
- Lane Williamson - Exeunt NYC
“Michael Berresse scales a staircase with the same exhilaration as he did when he climbed up the wall in Kiss Me, Kate 20 years ago. Berresse shines as the lascivious, bisexual Taylor in a devilish red suit.”
- David Gordon - Theatermania
William Desmond Taylor (a deliciously wily Michael Berresse).
- Sarah Downs - The Front Row Center
“Michael Berresse sleekly depicts the glib tempter who lures Mabel into dissipation.”
