The Play That Goes Wrong
1st National Tour

"Bean was played at Tuesday's performance by 'The Play That Goes Wrong' understudy Ned Noyes. Another understudy, Sid Solomon, assumed the role of Max Bennett (playing 'Cecil Haversham'), a spritely young man who cheekily seeks audience approval every time he does anything remotely clever.  Watching Noyes and Solomon rise to these roles and fit in so seamlessly shows what a crack ensemble this 'The Play That Goes Wrong' company is."
​Christopher Arnott, Hartford Courant

Julius Caesar
The Acting Company

"For one thing, this is one of the most crisply spoken Shakespeares in recent memory...and Sid Solomon (as an incongruously baby-faced Cassius) and Kevin Orton (as an unctuous Casca) are also fine."
​Eric Grode, The New York Times
"...it is left to [Sid] Solomon's Cassius to provide the play's spark and driving force. His characterization has a sharpness in this excessively suited world."
​Karl Levett, Backstage


​The God of Isaac
Florida Studio Theatre

"[Sid] Solomon hits all the right notes as Isaac, constantly alternating between stand-up and performances in scenes. Isaac's a pilgrim on a spiritual quest. Refreshingly, he's not insane or wearing a permanent scowl. Solomon breaths life into the character and keeps you engaged."
​
Marty Fugate, Sarasota Observer
"Much of the credit goes to FST newcomer Sid Solomon in the title role. He's onstage for pretty much the entire show, and he has such a likeable stage presence...Solomon even keeps the audience on Isaac's side at times when Isaac is being kind of a jerk. The play wouldn't work at all if Solomon couldn't do that."
​
Marty Clear, Bradenton Herald


​One Slight Hitch
Florida Rep

"…it’s a nostalgic treat to watch [Lewis] Black ring the changes on the once-familiar, still-hummable theme of what happens to a seemingly happy, soon-to-be-wed couple (Rachel Moulton and Sid Solomon) when the ne’er-do-well ex-boyfriend of the bride-to-be (Nate Washburn) shows up… and Florida Rep, not at all surprisingly, does it full and satisfying justice.”
​
Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

​
​Disgraced

Northern Stage

"Off-Broadway veteran Sid Solomon and Broadway veteran Dan’yelle Williamson in their Northern Stage debuts, aptly hint at the unspoken strains in the couple’s marriage — an 'I told you so' here, a subtle put-down there — without sacrificing the fun, light-hearted energy they bring to the early dinner scene."
​EmmaJean Holley, Valley News


Struck
Theatre Raleigh

"[Director Gina] Rattan elicits distinctive performances from her cast. Emily Kron’s Vera is needy and neurotic yet winning in her quest to find meaning for herself. She plays comfortably with Sid Solomon’s quietly suffering but devoted Nate, a believably loving couple."
​
Roy C. Dicks, The News & Observer


​Over The River And Through The Woods
Riverside Theatre

"Throughout, there are hysterical one-liners delivered by Nick (a most charming and affectionate Sid Solomon)...No doubt you'll enjoy this show, and certainly the performances. You won't see any better."
Pam Harbaugh, Brevard Culture


​The Woman In Black

Virginia Stage

"The two actors are letter-perfect...Sid Solomon counters [Michael Tezla] effectively with the brashness and aggressiveness of a young actor who goes for every hint of the melodrama. To watch them work is a revelation of timing." 
Mal Vincent, The Virginian-Pilot


​Romeo and Juliet

The Acting Company

"Sid Solomon gave [Mercutio] a swagger and arrogance you loved as much as you hated."
Kathleen Allen, Arizona Daily Star


​The Comedy of Errors 

The Acting Company

"As their servants, both dressed to look like Chaplin's Little Tramp, Sid Solomon and Joseph Midyett were nimble and ebullient clowns."
Paul Hyde, The Greenville News
 "Sid Solomon, familiar to Twin Cities audiences for several years, has a great comfort with Angelo - a slick sideman full of
​Jersey style."

Graydon Royce, Minneapolis Star Tribune
 "...the good-looking [Sid] Solomon who slips hither and yon looking like a walking parenthesis, exhibits eye-catching flair..."
David Finkle, TheaterMania


​Ward 57

Florida Stage

"Only one character is what you'd call 'fun'. That's Eric, played by Sid Solomon, a Los Angeles suit who wields a cell phone like a gunslinger, who can swivel in an office chair like it's a dance move. He is smarmy and sophisticated and hilarious."
Brandon K. Thorp, New Times Broward-Palm Beach


​As You Like It

New York Classical Theatre

"The actors step onto the green grass of the Long Meadow, in the midde of folks flying kites and doing tai chi, with the last of the day's sunshine streaming down...In an instant, Orlando (Ian Antal) has his cruel older brother Oliver (Sid Solomon) in a headlock, and everyone in earshot is riveted. At Tuesday's performance, which this writer attended, these able actors stopped kid soccer players in their tracks."
Lore Croghan, Brooklyn Daily Eagle


The Watsons Go To Birmingham-1963
Children's Theatre Company

"A road in Alabama in the Civil Rights Era. Four African American men in a car. A redneck cop [Sid Solomon] eager to abuse his power. So powerful was this scene in CTC's adaptation of Christopher Paul Curtis's novel that some viewers left at the end of the night wondering whether children should be exposed to such things. I walked out thankful that my child had witnessed a portrayal of bigotry and injustice so unsparing, so real, and so shocking that she understood in an instant that racism springs from the weakest and most despicable corners of our souls."
Quinton Skinner, from City Pages' Top 10 Shows of The Year


​Becky's New Car

Park Square Theatre

"Supporting players provide much of the liveliness...Sid Solomon is Chris, Becky and Joe's son. A slacker grad student, he enunciates pop psychology theories with such investment that he makes Woody Allen's name flash through the mind."
Graydon Royce, Minneapolis Star Tribune


​Hershel and The Hanukkah Goblins

Minnesota Jewish Theatre Company

"Sid Solomon plays Hershel with a twinkly, wide-eyed performance that lets the young audience know he's on their side. Having worked at the Children's Theatre Company, Solomon knows his job is about wrangling the young audience even as he's playing to them, encouraging them to participate while assuring that they keep — as one teacher instructed before the show started — 'calm bodies.'"
