New York Times
Andy Webster | “This is a musical, … overflowing with lush arrangements,
to say nothing of Mr. Sanborn’s impassioned vocals” “(David M. Sanborn)… draws from a seemingly limitless well of feeling and makes
the story wet,… with emotion, especially in the musical numbers” |
BackStage.com
Ron Cohen | “King David delivers,… with theatrical savvy.”
“Production values
are all first rate” “David
M. Sanborn, an impressive performer,… displays his triple threat credentials as a dancer, singer, and actor.
Furthermore, the religious fervor with which he infuses the show give him yet another quality, making him a quadruple threat.” “…the best moments pulsate with
a genuine sense of drama” “The
show also overflows with seductively lilting praise music in a popular evangelical style, and Sanborn sings it quite beautifully
to lushly recorded orchestrations. “The Lord Is My Shepherd” sounds like Andrew Lloyd Webber channeling
Barry Manilow.” |

Pat O'Haire
(4th Article Down) | “an ambitious undertaking, and,…it succeeds.” |
| TODAY | “This man is someone to watch out for; his powerful voice and acting skills were apparent
to all!” |
| Dan Duis, WCTN-Radio | "Extraordinary. Move over, Jim Carrey and Robin Williams. Sanborn's performance
is truly breath-taking. You have to see it to believe it." |
