“Major scene stealers include the hysterical J Ryan Carroll as Mr. Shellhammer...”

"But the comic highlight has to be J. Ryan Carroll as Carmen Ghia, the “common law assistant” to the show-within-a-show’s flamboyant, cross-dressing director. The character is a walking, talking, mincing, lisping catalog of outrageous gay stereotypes, but Carroll makes sure he owns every gesture and pose by imparting dignity along with the hilarity."

" Another favorite introduced later in the show is Carmen Ghia played by J Ryan Carroll. This over the top queen, controls the stage and audience with simply an arm and a few shakes here and there."

"As the show goes on, we are introduced to director Roger De Bris and his partner Carmen Ghia, who are played by John B. Boss and J. Ryan Carroll, respectively.  De Bris is a flamboyant in his director’s chair, while Ghia takes everything on with a dramatic flair. Yet another great casting moment."
