Brad Rupp
Young Frankenstein May 23-June 22, 2014 at Arizona Broadway Theatre
"Brad Rupp and Sam Ramirez add a nice amount of fun to the smaller parts of Inspector Kemp and the blind Hermit that the Monster encounters in the second act, with Rupp especially funny as the insufferable Inspector."
-Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway
"There's also good support from... Brad Rupp as Inspector Hans Kemp."

Oklahoma! Oct 19-Nov 18, 2012 at Arizona Broadway Theatre
"Adding to the dramatic tension is Curly's rival for Laurey's affection, the taciturn farmhand Jud Fry. Valley actor Brad Rupp plays this character with fierce flatness that instantly communicates a rage so tightly bottled that it inevitably will explode. Two of the most effective numbers in this production come back-to-back in Curly's taunting "Pore Jud Is Daid" and Jud's sinister soliloquy "Lonely Room," which highlights Rupp's coffee-rich baritone."
-Kerry Lengel, AZ Republic
"...but when it comes to the three principle players, Curly, Laurey and Jud, he's found voices that make the classic Rodgers & Hammerstein songs soar; plus the clarity of the singing and the purity of the sound as delivered in this production by Carrier, Rupp and Molly Bell ensure that classic musicals such as Oklahoma! should and will last forever."
-David Appleford, 99.9 KEZ
Joseph.... July 12-August 11, 2013 at Arizona Broadway Theatre
"In the country-western inspired "One More Angel in Heaven," Brad Rupp, as Simeon, displays an appealing command of this musical style."
-Richard Schultz, ECHO Magazine
Into the Woods May 22-June 21, 2013 at Arizona Broadway Theatre
"The latter role is played by Brad Rupp in a fine comic turn as a rakish narcissist; he might remind you of Kenneth Branagh’s Gilderoy Lockhart in “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.” In the musical’s biggest showstopper, “Agony,” he’s joined by Zach Trimmer for a satirical duet about two princes on the prowl."
-Kerry Lengel, AZ Republic
"Zach Trimmer and Brad Rupp as the two princes are not only accomplished performers with a comedic touch that consistently entertains, but their voices bring Sondheim’s demanding score alive."
-David Appleford, 99.9 KEZ
Bat Boy: The Musical May 22-June 30, 2007 at Nearly Naked Theatre
"Finally, Brad Rupp is a riot, switching between the characters of Rick Taylor, the leather-jacketed tough, and church lady Lorraine."
-Kerry Lengel, AZ Republic
The Who's Tommy May 27-June 17, 2006 at Nearly Naked Theatre
"Brad Rupp's sadistic Cousin Kevin is almost too realistic, and his primary character has a distinct character arc in Dering's concept, one that Rupp ably handles."
-Mark Turvin, Goldfish Publishers
"There are a number of strong voices, including Brad Rupp (Cousin Kevin)..."
-Kerry Lengel, AZ Republic
Godspell September 9-September 25, 2005
"However, the show is reborn with the entrance of Brad Rupp as John the Baptist/Judas... She has cast two leads in Lakin and Rupp that raise the professionalism of the evening above the usual 'Let's put on a show!' mentality that often mars other productions. Rupp has a strong voice and a palpable stage presence that highlights his expansive character arc."
-Mark Turvin, Goldfish Publishers
Baby: The Musical July 24-August 16, 2011 at Arizona Broadway Theatre
"As the couple who can't cconcieve, Brad Rupp and Katrina Hagosfky make beautiful music both in acting scenes (which Rupp must punctuate with his character's annoying Jackie Gleason impersonations) and in their duet " With You," perhaps the musical high point of Act Two. Rupp also shines in a male ensemble number called, "Fatherhood Blues," about the dads' future paternity."
-Robrt L. Pela, The Phoenix New Times
