Much Ado About Nothing
"The real victim of all the dark chicanery, in what is surely the play’s most thankless and challenging role, is Benedick’s lovesick friend Claudio. Gormless even in early moments of the action.....You ask yourself whether this man can be anything but a gullible and vindictive wimp. So I was strongly impressed with Josh Saleh’s efforts to keep that stereotype at bay. His Claudio shows a directness, intensity and humor I have experienced in no other performance of the role. With little help from Shakespeare and against all the textual odds, he persuades you almost against your will that Claudio may never be voted Leading Man of the Year but has something to be said for him and Saleh says it."

Macbeth
"There’s a lot of strong action but the general tendency to gabble or mutter makes most of the characters seem shallow and smaller than life. Exception....[is].... Josh Saleh, who orates as Angus."

What The Butler Saw
"Hunky young guy down to his skivvies (or less)? Check"
"Superb acting? Oh my yes!"
"A youthful bellhop (a disarmingly appealing Josh Saleh as Nicholas Beckett)."
Joanne Engelhardt - Santa Cruz Sentinel
"A Sexy Young working-class bellhop...the stalwart Saleh is delightful in his role."
Lisa Jenson - Good Times
"The actual bellboy Nicolas, played with libidinous athleticism by Josh Saleh, is the busiest of all the evening’s quick change artists. Forced to abandon his uniform via jockey shorts for full drag, he then has an almost Full Monty moment covered only by a strategically placed policeman’s helmet, which points to his next plot-driven costume change."

Picasso at the Lapin Agile
"Now to the colorful cast, I must start with Josh Saleh who plays this 'innovator' Schmendiman who does an amazing job of performing as wild and over-the-top as you could imagine with hysterical results. Josh literally jumps at you in full living color with an intense passion of the broad and wild theatre experience you could ever have!"
Lorenzo Marchessi - NoHo Arts District
The Full Monty
"Josh Saleh is great sexy fun as the deadpan professional peeler whose act opens the show."

Dark Play
"A versatile cast including...Josh Saleh as Adam all easily slide into different roles or variations on their character."
Trish Ostroski - Tolucan Times
"A seemingly normal but unbelievable twisted and cynical teenager creates the fake online persona...and uses it to seduce Adam (Josh Saleh), a sweet innocent who dreams of finding his dream girl."
