Paul Schwensen
Ren McCormack in Porthouse Theatre's Footloose
"Studly Paul Schwensen, who was mobbed by tweens after the show for autographs, mooning over his big blue eyes and sparkling white teeth, created a very credible Ren. His Joffrey Ballet training was well put to use. His renditions of "I Can't Stand Still," and "Dancing Is Not a Crime" were well presented."
- Roy Berko, Broadway World
"Almost Paradise is a duet made in heaven between Simon and Schwensen. They not only sing this iconic number so beautifully they make you swoon, they also make a great-looking couple once Ariel finally lets her walls come down."
"MaryAnn Black’s choreography is a blast, especially in the big payoff of the title number, when leading man Schwensen gets to show off his mad acrobatic skills."
- Kerry Clawson, Enjoy Ohio
"The stellar cast of Porthouse’s production of “Footloose” includes Paul Schwensen* as Ren McCormack whose good looks, athletic ability (he gives a fine gymnastic display) and singing voice makes him perfectly suited for the part."
- Mark Horning, Cleveland Theatre Reviews
Al Deluca in CCM's A Chorus Line
"Paul Schwensen's performance as Al Deluca was extraordinary beyond belief."
- Peter Filichia, Masterworks Broadway
"The collegiate cast shows themselves to be true triple threat performers. All of the dancing is sharp and cohesive, executed with full energy. It's difficult to call out the best performers since they are all rather exceptional, but standouts include.....Paul Schwensen (a supportive and strongly sung Al)."
- Scott Cain, Talkin Broadway
