Miss Saigon
[The Engineer is] played by Jon Jon Briones, who’s brilliant as an unctuous cock o’ the walk for whom no amount of strutting can hide the sleaziness, mendacity and desperation. The show’s high point The American Dream” — is more chilling than I’ve ever seen it...
-Deadline Hollywood, Jeremy Gerard
Jon Jon Briones is doubtless giving the best performance of his long career, and he seems to be enjoying every nanosecond of it. His performance is a creepy treat, from start to finish, chock-full of details and nuance, totally in control, even when things get out of control. He delivers the big production numbers with mad aplomb, especially the over-the-top eleven o’clock number, “The American Dream,”...
-New York Theatre Guild, Michael Hillyer
Jon Jon Briones delivers a knock out performance as the Engineer...his biting rendition of 'American Dream' is a beautiful piece of work and the evenings pleasure."
-Hollywood Reporter, Los Angeles
(Jon Jon Briones, flat-out brilliant), the vile but discerning pimp who runs Dreamland... And just wait for his big getaway in “The American Dream,” a show-stopper — and a career-maker for Briones.
-Variety, Marilyn Stasio
Magno Rubio
"Pure theatricality enlivens "The Romance of Magno Rubio" at [Inside] the Ford. The seamless cast is wonderful. Tireless, illiterate Magno (the memorable Jon Jon Briones), though short in stature, has enormous American dreams. Briones, buoyant and moving, makes an ideal Magno."
-LA TIMES, (critics choice award)
"But the reason to go see The Romance of Magno Rubio... is the remarkably touching and human performance given by Jon Jon Briones as Magno Rubio. Briones brings a wide-eyed silent wonder to the role, like watching the world through the amazed eyes of a baby.
...Briones captures silently and profoundly the anguish of discovering our love is not always as it seems - Then with a touch of the divine, he finds joy even in his sorrow. It's a moment worth experiencing in any language."
-Curtain Up, KCRW
"Jon Jon Briones, despite his small stature, has enormous stage presence and easily carries the show. His portrayal of Magno Rubio is big-hearted and endearing."
-Theater-Los Angeles
