Light in the Piazza

Burnham's dazzling singing and acting combine to charm the pants off everyone onstage and in the audience. He's the type of actor who, when he smiles, you could swear sunlight glints off his teeth and his infectious energy makes the whole thing believable. ‑ The Hollywood Reporter

 A clarifying improvement over the Broadway production comes via Burnham's Fabrizio, whose flamboyant youthfulness helps explain his impetuosity.

Tom Jones: The Musical

"Burnham as Tom Jones has a fine comic touch and cuts a dashing figure; he had the ladies eating out of the palm of his hand."
By RICH FAHEY of the DAILY ITEM

Assassins

"When David Burnham, as John Hinckley, sings "Unworthy of Your Love" to his dream girl, Jodie Foster, he's a ghoulish cross between a yearning high school senior and an obsessed madman."
By JOEL HIRSCHHORN

Godspell

"From the first appearance of the very charismatic David Burnham as Jesus (in jeans and a white wife-beater T-shirt), things kick into gear and stay that way. Burnham managed to appear humble, serious, earnest, fun-loving and slightly bemused at his goofball apostles all at the same time, making for a charming and winsome performance, and my pick, by far, for Best in Show."
Robert A. Mitchell, KDHX Theatre Review

Peggy Sue Got Married

"David Burnham has got flashy adorability and a tenor to die for. When Burnham hits the first money note in the stirring 'Crown of Love', a hush falls over the theatre. It's an impossibly high note that Burnham shapes to the perfection of a single tear drop"
The Chicago Citizen

"David Burnham is talented, appealing, has a superb voice, and also can dance up a storm!"
Chicago Sun Times

"David Burnham is terrific...he's a textbook heartthrob with a glorious tenor."
Chicago Reader

Copley News Service

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat

"David Burnham's 100 kilowatt smile, lights up the theatre to the back rows, along with a pleasing tenor voice and assured acting."
Danian Inwood, The Province

"A newcomer to leading man stardom, he's teeny-bopper idol, drop-dead gorgeous. From the end of the alphabet seats, you'd swear the lighting techno-wizards figured out how to do one of those TV cartoon tooth sparkles in real life. But the kid is legitimately trained as a stage performer, so when he belts out the powerful lines in songs like Close Every Door, hold onto your hat."
Jean Russell, Capital News

"His voice is incredible. I'm sure the theatre is still ringing!"
Kevin Frankish, CITY TV

"David Burnham's future looks bright in 'Technicolor!' His powerful pop vocals are perfectly suited to Andrew Lloyd Webber's music. David Burnham is certain to set teen hearts a-flutter and wow moms too!"
John Coulbourn, The Toronto Sun

"Riveting! David Burnham was greeted by thunderous applause. He gives a strong performance and brings his unique style to the show."
