"Livermore pulls out all the stops ... his acting is a tour de force, subtle, witty and beautifully timed."
On The Canterville Ghost
"Livermore dominates all - and that includes the audience. He has the unchallengeable authority of the great individual performer. He fascinates rather than entertains. We have nobody more remarkable on our stage."
Harry Kippax, Sydney morning Herald on Firing Squad
"... he is everyone's nightmare, and everyone's dream ... inhabiting the space with such grace, taking charge of it so effortlessly."
Dorothy Hewett, Theatre Australia on Sacred Cow
"... with energy contolled by poise, with grace and with cheek by jowl, with knockabout and Rabelaisian obscebity, with immense authority, there bounds, glides, twinkles, glooms, glimmers, silks and smailes this extrodianary performer. My admiration for him is unbounded "
Harry Kippax, Sydney Morning Herald on Son of Betty.
"Australia's greatest white faced clown"
Dorothy Hewett, Theatre Australia on Sacred Cow
"Like the talented child or dog act, Reg Livermore as Herod must be a hard one to top. Almost as suddenly as he appeared he is gone, but in a few brief moments he has virtually stolen the show."
Publication TBC on Jesus Christ Superstar
"A national living treasure"
Stage Noise
"On of the most extraordinary events in Australian theatre history - A brilliant star"
The National Times on Betty Blokk Buster Follies
"The greatest thing since Rice Bubbles"
The National Times on Betty Blokk Buster Follies
"Livermore gets the insistent tune of "The King of Broadway" across with gusto and defiance. He himself epitomises the survivor amid the perils of showbusiness and his wonderful performance is but one of the joys of the Australian production ... it has chutzpah in spades."
The Sydney Morning Herald on The Producers
"A great musical comedy actor"
Review on The Producers
"Livermore as Max Bialystock won audiences from the start with his explosive opening number"
Herald Sun on The Producers
"Livermore is a fine, sharp-edged comedian"
The Age on My Fair Lady
"Livermore is Livermore handling his patter song with articulate ease and exploring the margings of daffiness."
The Age on The Pirates of Penzance
"His comic timing and acting are spot-on"
The Sun Herald on The Gondoliers
"Livermore times each comically barbed line of his to perfection. His Professor Higgins is irascible, misogynistic and selfishly oblivious to Eliza's feelings - yet still eminently likeable. His emotional confusion when he realises he's "grown accustomed" to Eliza's face is quite genuinely touching "
Sunday Telegraph on My Fair Lady
