ReviewsTHE JURY (Composer/Orchestrator) -
★★★★★
“Connections, relationships, and secrets are revealed in this beautifully written piece…raw emotion and truth that sweeps the audience along…allow its power to move you and leave a moment that lasts long in the memory.” -Brett Herriot, Scotsgay Magazine
★★★★★
“Exquisite and intricate. A gem!” -Thos Ribbits, Musicaltalk Podcast
★★★★1/2
“Everything you want in new musical theater ... soaring harmonies and beautiful, emotional story-telling ... you are embraced by gorgeous harmonies and a beautiful wall of sound … Jonathan Bauerfeld and Casey Kendall have written an incredibly warm, funny and painful show ... highly recommended.” - Ellen Bergen, The Awkward Corner
★★★★
“Jonathan Bauerfeld’s emotive music and Casey Kendall’s book and lyrics bring a potent spotlight on America’s opioid epidemic and deliver a hard punch. Highly recommended." - Robin Strapp, British Theatre Guide
★★★★
“After a beautiful multi harmony choral opening...we were treated to some great numbers which resonated with the heritage of the giants of Broadway musicals Kander and Ebb, and Stephen Sondheim.” - Chris Grady, Musical Theatre Review
"Tess Butler may be dead, but she's the but she's the most exciting and nuanced protagonist to show up in a musical since, well, maybe since forever. The Jury has literally everything going for it...The Jury manages to do what few musicals have accomplished...See it if you want to see a musical that manages to inject levity and brightness into a subject which might otherwise make you turn away."

THE POUT POUT FISH (Arranger, Music Director) -
New York Times Critic's Pick - "…“The Pout-Pout Fish” is more than picturesque...[with a] score with influences including sea chanteys, Latin rhythms and jazz, as well as the upbeat ballad “Stay Afloat,” a tune reminiscent of those on “Sesame Street.”
-Laurel Graeber, New York Times
SHORT SHAKES! COMEDY OF ERRORS (Composer) -
★★★★★
The tech aspects were also sheer perfection...the musical compositions by Jonathan Bauerfeld and sound design by Eric Backus were a great feature. -Around the Town Chicago
LEGACY: The Book Of Names (Composer/Orchestrator) -
★★★★★
"Legacy: The Book of Names is a near perfect tearjerker of a musical...The show's creators, Jonathan Bauerfeld and Casey Kendall, have crafted songs which sound like they belong on a greatest hits of Alan Menken...Legacy: The Book of Names has no weak elements...A simple but staggering surprise of considerable beauty and talent." -Charlie Ralph, Broadway Baby
★★★★
"The music is fantastic, with Jonathan Bauerfeld's score hitting the right note at every turn with lyrics that are both sensitive and witty in perfect doses." - Lucy Davidson, Mumble Musicals
★★★★
"Remember the names, Jonathan Bauerfeld and Casey Kendall." -Vivien Devlen, Edinburgh Guide
IF SAND WERE STONE (Orchestrator)
"...This is a quiet elegy that expresses its yearning in gorgeous strings: bass, guitar, cello and violin." -Laura Collins-Hughs, New York Times
SINGLE RIDER (Orchestrator/Musical Director)
"This show completely won me over...The score is strong, and the orchestrations are beautiful." "...the six musicians were fabulous, with beautiful orchestrations!" -showscore.com
