"Matt Coggins is superb in this role... His body is all straw it seems, and therefore very wiry and disjointed. Indeed, he needs to be careful not to steal the show. Wonderfully limber, his song and dance “If I Only Had A Brain” is a true show highlight."

"Speaking of 'dorky,' Matt Coggins plays the lead character, Seymour, to the hilt. ...Coggins is the heart of this production. He is wacky, sincere, vocally adept, exceptionally limber, and a ton of fun to watch. He’s worth the price of admission."

"Another standout character is Otter/Otto played splendidly by Matt Coggins. Using a stick puppet that looks for all the world like a real otter, Coggins actually makes this doll come to life."
