Critic reviews

“Dennis Boutsikaris packs his presentation with a dazzling variety of accents and characters of both genders. However, he is at his best as Carmellini. Boutsikaris provides a unique vocal identity with an expression and tempo that match Tommy's wiseacre attitude.” —AudioFile on The Traitor, Winner of the Earphones award for truly exceptional presentations
