    • "...Ty Jones..steals the show"

      New York Times

      Charles Isherwood

    • "Ty Jones scores here as the gloriously egocentric Bottom, a grand ham so full of himself that he literally backflips with self-confidence."

      Variety

      Frank Rizzo

    • "...a hilariously over-the-top Ty Jones… in what is surely the most belaboredly acrobatic death scene ever devised."

      Theatremania

      Sandy McDonald

    • "The biggest ball of energy... was a Broadway actor, Ty Jones... By the show’s end, I wanted this man to host his own TV show."

  • Emancipation
    • "a vigorously staged play about Nat Turner …sleek, streamlined production ... compelling"

      New York Times

      Jason Zinoman

    • "Remarkable production ... poetically staged. Emancipation is not just bracing theater, but a timely plea for racial self-reflection"

    • "Undeniable power ... 3 out of 4 stars"

      New York Post

      Frank Scheck

    • "This is a deeply affecting performance that you should not miss."

      Kat Chamberlain

    • "Emancipation is stark and powerful and will likely add another unqualified success to the CTH roster."

      Jenny Sandman

    • "CTH's lean-and-mean production of Ty Jones' prismatic play, Emancipation, now at the historic Audubon Ballroom, brings Turner's riveting back story to visceral life."

      Theatermania.com

      Sandy MacDonald

    • "a fluid mix of movement and music punctuated by shocking blasts of noise and violence. Much of the play's undeniable power comes from such juxtapositions..."

    • "visceral production"

  • Lear
    • "Witty, charming and sexy ... is Ty Jones in his interpretation of Edmund"

      New York Times

      Charles Isherwood

    • "The mutual attraction to the magnetic and malicious Edmund (Ty Jones). Jones's approach is just right. - and not above a blatant appeal to a spectator's sympathy with a flashy handspring -- Jones gets ably at the core of his character's duality."

      Washington Post

      Peter Marks

    • "...a performance that may stay with you for quite some time is that of Ty Jones, who strides purposefully throughout the theater contributing an energy and intensity to the evening..."

      Potomac Stages

      Brad Hathaway

    • "The magnificent Ty Jones is roguishly charming as the scheming bastard..."

      NYTheater.com

      Michael Criscuolo

    • "Perhaps most crucially, Preisser has assembled a standout supporting cast, including Ty Jones as an unusually brutish Edmund."

      BackStage

      Adam R. Perlman

    • "As is often the case, it is the evil one that fascinates the most. Ty Jones is the most compelling figure on the stage..."

      Hill Rag

      Brad Hathaway

    • "CTH stalwart and Obie winner Ty Jones is a divinely wicked."

      Time Out New York

      Raven Snook

    • "The actor who played Edmund, Ty Jones, stood out, and not just because of his beautiful body and winning smile. His diction and delivery were impeccable, and he made one sympathize with him even as one witnessed his deadly scheming."

      Joseph Casazza

  • Macbeth
    • "The Thane of Cawdor is played by Ty Jones and he is the chief draw. Jones may be the most combustible actor to hit New York stages since the equally smooth-pated Charles S. Dutton. He boils with emotional tension and teeters ever on the brink of impulsive action. He's made for Shakespeare's men of action — Richard III, Coriolanus, Mercutio — not to mention a host of Jacobean baddies. "

      Time Out New York

      Robert Simonson

    • "Jones is a powerful-looking Macbeth, quick to act yet troubled when contemplating the consequences of his reactions"

      Theatermania.com

      David Finkle

    • "Macbeth is Ty Jones, who gives us a strong, ambitious but increasingly conscience-stricken man. It is a persuasive reading."

      New York Post

      Donald Lyons

    • "What should send you trooping to Harlem this summer is Ty Jones. It is his portrayal ... that makes this rendition of Macbeth so spellbinding. "

  • Faust
    • "...the play becomes a collaboration between the powers of vitality, newly embodied in a young, buff Faust, the engaging Ty Jones"

      New York Times

      Honor Moore

    • "The miraculous transformation that makes Faust young again is with Ty Jones, a first-rate actor whose verse speaking carries innate emotional conviction."

      Village Voice

      Michael Feingold

    • "...As Faust Mr. Jones does fine work, and certainly has great facility with the play's language"

    • "A performance like the one by Ty Jones cannot go unacknowledged. The energy and wit he brings to the role...is absolutely astonishing in his ability to combine political confrontation with emotional warmth, threat with playfulness, daunting challenge with thrilling invitation."
