“Charismatic, bold and fervent, Ortega commands your attention… “
In the Heights
“But I will save my greatest praise for leading man Ediberto Ortega, who gives (along with Benjamin Davis of “Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson”) the male musical performance of the season. Charismatic, bold and fervent, Ortega commands your attention and awe with his formidable presence and good looks, not to mention his skills in rap and hip hop lyrics in iambic pentameter. He has agility when the role calls for the physical realm and conversely, considerable introspection and a display of pain and emotion (no spoilers here) when warranted.”
- Sandy Staggs, Carolina Curtain Call
In the Heights
“Ediberto Ortega simply shines as Usnavi. With his winning personality and beautifully clear delivery of the complex freestyle rap-inspired lyrics, Ortega creates a warm, funny, and nuanced character who makes a perfect host.”
- Neil Shurley, BroadwayWorld
Sister Act
“Eddie Ortega brings his talent to the role.”
- Randolph County Herald Tribune
Addams Family
“The boy in question is Lucas Bieneke, played by Eddie Ortega. On the outside a normal guy with normal parents from — gasp — Ohio, Lucas is charming and awkward.”
- Hannah Talbot, Tallahassee Democrat
Ugly Lies the Bone
“Eddie Ortega as Jess’s former love creates consistent characterizations and finds all the humor written into [his] role.”
