Testimonials
Sheehan is the leading man for whom we desperately long; he is handsome, yes, but he is also endlessly charming, his eyes lock on Ellis’ Julie and we can’t help wishing that someone would look at us with that much fascination, tenderness, and earnest desire. That desire does not go away for the next two-and-a-half hours. — Arts Impulse
The male lead in Carousel is the multi-talented performer who shines in his number. The very handsome and debonair Ciaran Sheehan who starred as the Phantom on Broadway in “Phantom of the Opera” is phenomenal as Billy. He has a New York accent in his dialogue and with his vocals he sounds like a young Robert Goulet. Ciaran’s baritone voice soars off the charts in “If I Loved You”, my favorite R&H song, “The Highest Judge of All”, and “Soliloquy.” — Tony Annicone, Theatre Mirror Review
Mr. Sheehan comes to Carousel with an impressive Broadway resume, including “Les Miserables” and “The Phantom of the Opera.” As an actor and singer, he makes choices that present rough-hewn carousel barker, Billy Bigelow, as more than just a one dimensional angry wife beater. We see his pugnacious side quite readily, but he also shows us his softer side in the iconic “Soliloquy” in which he imagines what it would be like to be the father of a little Billy - or, just imagine, a “little girl, pink and white.” It is the delivery of this song that separates the men from the boys in terms of actors who portray a convincing Billy Bigelow. Mr. Sheehan shows himself to be a man among men with this number. — White Rhino Report
Ciaran Sheehan has the frame and the charisma of a guy who can attract every mill girl in Maine – but it’s his voice that seals the deal: a gorgeous, silky tenor with mesmerizing low notes. And he acts the heck out of his “Soliloquy.” — Boston Arts Review
