From Theatre People - The Little Mermaid - Birdie Productions

"Ragen lends geniality and integrity to Prince Eric, the object of Ariel's affection. He has a rich baritone and infuses sung moments with convincing emotion and his performance of 'Her Voice' is a particular highlight." - Tim G

 

From On The Town - The Little Mermaid - Birdie Productions

"Tom Ragen as Prince Eric, may lack the floppy hair but has the voice to carry him off" - Kate S

 

From Sydney Arts Guide - The Little Mermaid - Birdie Productions

"Tom Ragen is dashing, romantic and chivalrous in the role of Prince Eric" - Maggy F

 

From Livoila (YouTube Channel) - The Little Mermaid - Birdie Productions

"Both characters (Ariel and Prince Eric) had absolutely superb singing technique, and the kids just adored them" - Olivia

 

From WeekendNotes - Catch Me If You Can - The Regals

"Playing the leading role of Frank Abagnale Jr is Tom Ragen, who showcases jaw-dropping vocals and an infectious stage presence. On more than one occasion Ragen hits notes with the same ease and impressiveness as Aaron Tivet, who originated the role on Broadway. Together (Adderly and Ragen) the pair provide engaging and impressive portrayals of their respective characters and take the audience with them on their whirlwind journey." - Hannah B

 

From Dawn Pugh Reviews & Stories - Catch Me If You Can - The Regals

"The show was perfectly cast with Tom Ragen and Paul Adderly in the leading roles! Tom put on a spectacular performance, with all of the charm and commanding stage presence you would hope for from his role as the womanising, con artist, Frank Abagnale Jr. As with the character that he plays, Tom has it all…vocally talented, fantastic comedic timing and the looks!" - Dawn P

 

From Katherine Skelsey - Secretary of The Regals Musical Soceity - Catch Me If You Can - The Regals

"Thank you so much for the wonderful things you did with the role of Frank Jnr. I still have the songs and even some of the script ringing through my head, and I'm hearing it definitely in your voice! I was in awe of how easily you moved, and how light you were on your feet; and I thought the young inflections and gleeful chuckles that you put into the spoken and singing elements of your role were just perfect." - Katherine S
