Reviews
"Tom Carle sang Tom Rakewell with clear diction, earnest self-confidence and a hearty, assertive tenor.”
-Parterre Box
Tenor Tom Carle was a potent Barry O’Day, playing up his tremendous enthusiasm with a massive smile and bright, powerful voice. In Carle’s interpretation, there was simply nothing this hero couldn’t do. From wooing any woman he pleased, to dancing about his comrades to dominating in a duel to singing luxurious phrases with beaming high notes, Carle looked unstoppable throughout the evening
