~Around the World in 80 Days - Ryan as Actor 1

"...While the cast was all-around strong, two standout performances were delivered by Collin Smith (mainly Detective Fix) and RYAN BOWIE, who between them play 17 characters, each with different caricatred accent.  At one point, BOWIE, playing to both the audience and the other characters, ran through the gauntlet of his voices in such a madcap barrage that there was no room for deserved applause amid the guffaws of laughter.

~Dracula: The Musical - Ryan as Jonathan Harker

"...Ryan, I was serious when I complimented you last night.  You can take any song and make it your own.  You craft and mold it and bring it to us on a silver platter.  It is really meaningful to hear you sing.  I can't say those 'Dracula' songs (or perhaps that composer) are all that fabulous, but you added so much to the evening."
 - - Dr. Thomas King, Austin Peay State University, Clarksville, TN

~ Into the Woods - Ryan as The Baker ~

"...But, truth be told, it is the men of the cast who really bowl you over with their superb voices and on-target acting choices.  Ryan Bowie does so with a vigor and commitment that is admirable - and definite foreshadowing of what might be expected from him later in his career.  He has a strong voice, and an even stronger stage presence, that breathes fire and life into his scriptbound character, and his duets with Stricker-Dispensa are genuinely heartfelt.  Clearly, the Baker is the star of this production of Into the Woods."

~ The Fantasticks - Ryan as Matt ~

"...followed by an eager Matt, the boy next door, played by Ryan Bowie, and the story begins in earnest.  Bowie and Cahill make us laugh gleefully and respond to their beautiful voices...  Both are adept at portraying the vim and the near insanity embodied in young love."
 - - Bob Rose, The Post Star, Glens Falls, NY

~ Music of the Night - Ryan as the Tenor ~

"The fine singers were magnificent - - with voices beyond description." "I can't say enough about the Seagle Colony singers."
 - - Tom Burns, Queensbury, NY

"These young people can sing.  I was especially charmed by the sometime contrast between their youthful looks and their giant voices.  Ryan Bowie, in particular, looks like the lead character in a children's television show but sings with a booming deep voice that resounded from the back walls.  I could still imagine him as the young high school musical star he must have been, even as he's clearly on the brink of a hopefully successful grown-up career."

~ How to Succeed in Business... - Ryan as J. Pierpont Finch ~

"Ryan Bowie made the Seagle Music Colony's Tuesday night production of "How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying" a believable affair.  He was perfectly cast.  Seemingly ingenuous and diplomatic to a fault as J. Pierpont Finch, he hid a crafty brain behind that big wide grin.  He held the stage well as the show's centerpiece.  And he sang great, too.  His tenor voice with its edged clarity and excellent diction was Broadway caliber.  Bowie headed a 20 member cast that had the moves, the clever gestures and posturing, the dance steps and the high energy was down pat."
- - Geraldine Freedman, The Post Star, Glens Falls, NY

~ Anything Goes - Ryan as Billy Crocker ~

"She found an excellent partner in dynamic Ryan Bowie, a song-and-dance man who seemed made for the role of Billy Crocker.  His romantic rendering of "Easy to Love" showed him to be a heartthrob of Broadway dimensions.  The belting of "You're the Top" by Bowie and Bunsold was a happy reminder that (1) beautifully trained voices can still dill a house and (2) they just don't write songs like that any more."
 - - Ann Breen Metcalfe, Denton Publications

~ A Chorus Line - Ryan as Richie ~

"Ryan Bowie as Richie was especially effective with his clear-edged voice, but he also has a lot of pizzazz as he covered the stage dancing."
- - Geraldine Freedman, The Post Star, Glens Falls, NY

~ Damn Yankees - Ryan as Joe Hardy ~

"The illustrious Joe Hardy, brought to life by Ryan Bowie, helped the show to success.  His spectacular singing voice blended beautifully with the talents of Coty Warn (Lola) and his emotional presence on-stage made his appearance with Joshua Orto (Satan) truly captivating."
 - - Ashley Wisner, The Bottom Line, Frostburg, MD

~ Into the Woods - Ryan as Jack ~

"The irrepressible Ryan Bowie played "Jack" and could be seen showing genuine affection for his beloved cow he calls, "Milky White," who he refers to as 'he' despite being able to produce milk."
 - - Michael Weaver, The Bottom Line, Frostburg, MD

~ Confessions From the Ladies Room - Ryan as Stephen ~

"Ryan Bowie is a joy to watch as the amusingly Stephen Terry, "The Ladies Room" creator, writer and organizer of the reunion show."
