“…Buddy is played to effervescent perfection by Adam LaSalle. Even alongside an immensely strong ensemble cast, LaSalle stands out and buoys the show with elf-like ease. His is a Buddy that’s adorably naive, dimpled and rosy-cheeked, seeing every bit of the world through a lens of sincere childlike wonder…His comedic timing is always spot-on…and LaSalle’s voice is wonderfully clear as a bell. I could go on gushing, but you get the picture. LaSalle embodies Buddy’s infectious Christmas spirit, and it’s an absolute delight.”

“Much of the credit for the show’s success belongs to its star Adam LaSalle, a New York-based actor who imbues Buddy with the optimism, enthusiasm and barely restrained joy of ten magical elves. Gifted with a gorgeous singing voice, the wide eyes of an innocent and a vaudevillian’s knack for comedy, LaSalle is a delight to watch…it’s hard to take your eyes off him.”

“Adam LaSalle shines as a happy, clumsy, oh-so cheery Buddy. He’s believably awkward in all the right places while as well as a gifted singer and performer. …It’s worth noting that this must be an exhausting show for LaSalle, as Buddy is an energetic character. Despite all of this action, LaSalle’s charisma – and stamina – as the character never wavers.”
