Reviews

Michael Liebhauser, as the Cornley director, manages to infuse a bit of gravitas into his dual role as the company’s bumbling policeman, while expressing frustration when his cast can’t remember their cues or blocking or lines.
— Boston Globe for "The Play That Goes Wrong"
And Michael Liebhauser’s Richard is phenomenal and complex, a likable creep, fascinating in his indefatigability, charming in his brilliance and word play, impressive in his manipulation, terrifying in his bloodthirst, and yet utterly pitiful.
— -Encore Michigan for "Richard III"
Michael Liebhauser deserves praise for his accent work in particular, and performances in general.
Liebhauser’s scenes with Carpenter where he plays a man who has lost his memory are particularly
heartbreaking
— Broadway World for "Incognito"
The gender-swapped pair of Oberon (Deb Martin) and Titania (Michael Liebhauser) are a delight to watch, and their scenes crackle.
— Broadway World for "A Midsummer Night's Dream"
[His] Edmund, embodied exquisitely with conniving sex appeal.
— Encore Michigan for "King Lear"
...played by the lanky, mischievous Michael Liebhauser, who lopes around grinning like Jack Skellington with an orange pompadour
— City Pages for "Picnic Operetta"
You’re funny, but you’re loud.... and sweaty
— 3rd Grader from Concordia Elementary.
