 "James Bernard, playing 9-year-old Ralphie...is the talented genius portraying a young lower-middle-income Indiana boy in 1940. As a guileless, earnest good kid, his transitions from reality to fantasy are absolutely seamless."
- Long Island Advance |  "Gateway is known for acquiring Broadway-caliber talent and this show is no different. Ralphie is played by James Bernard, an extraordinarily talented 12-year-old who has a remarkable resume, which includes shows like The Sound of Music and To Kill a Mockingbird. Once you hear him sing, it’s clear the kid belongs onstage." - Dan's Papers |  "The most intricate and infectious moments in “The Sound of Music” belong to the kids...In the national touring company now at the Kennedy Center, the young performers could hardly be more charming as they croon “So Long, Farewell,” or more polished as they romp through their boisterous numbers. If they don’t entirely steal the show — and maybe they do — they certainly own the moments that will linger on the way home." - The Washington Post |
