BWW: ACT’s Christmas Carol “Alive with Magic”

Reviews, Theatre, ,
Congratulations to the cast of ACT's 2014 production of A Christmas Carol! Early performances have been a hit, and BroadwayWorld.com has weighed in with a very positive review (Dec 1, 2014): ACT and Director John Langs completely nailed it again and then some. I saw the production last year of ACT's Seattle tradition of "A Christmas Carol" and found myself struck by how well they conveyed this classic tale. And as much as I enjoyed it last year there was something even more magical and special in the air for this year's production (or they spiked my eggnog) as I completely…

Interview with David in “Times of Trenton”

Interviews, Theatre, , , ,
As we head into closing weekend for the Shakespeare Theatre of NJ's successful and well-received run of "Henry VIII", starring David in the title role, the Times of Trenton took a moment to interview David and his co-star Jessica Wortham (Queen Katherine) about the experience. David Foubert as Henry gets far more stage time than Wortham, but he quickly points out that the man he plays isn’t the bearded, rotund, bejeweled monarch of the famous Henry VIII portraits. "Henry was a vital, active, straightforward, outgoing young man who enjoyed hunting and jousting with his many friends. He’s smart enough to…

New York Times Review: “Pageantry and Sizzling Romance in ‘Henry VIII’”

Reviews, Theatre, ,
David's current work at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey (as King Henry VIII) received a great mention from Michael Sommers in the New York Times (October 24 print edition): ..."The actors portray their characters with conviction and vigor.

Star-Ledger Review of “Henry VIII”

Reviews, Theatre,
The Star-Ledger has weighed in on David's performance in Henry VIII at Shakespeare Theatre of New Jersey and found it "commanding"... Ronnie Reich, The Star-Ledger (October 23, 2014) David Foubert gives a commanding, layered performance in the title role. His Henry first appears loud and brash, as though he might be more at home in a tavern than at the court. He is volatile, and quick to anger, yet at key moments he is also mesmerizingly still and stately. When he claims he is tormented by conscience about his marriage to Queen Katherine - his late brother's wife - his…
