Twist
Brandon Starred in TWIST at the Avery Schreiber Theatre in Los Angeles.
"..the core - the sad youth who says 'It's what I know' - is never too far from the surface of this Oliver. Brandon Ruckdashel plays him (here called Twist) with a simple earnest innocence. Even though the sort of thing that makes his face light up with joy isn't what most would call 'innocent,' Ruckdashel's Twist is basically just looking for a place where he can feel safe. And putting that sort of heart into the piece, from beginning to end, grounds the entire production." --Sharon Perlmutter (Talkin Broadway)
Bob Verini (Variety) wrote that "Ruckdashel's striking blond good looks and pleasant if thin tenor make him a plausible Adonis." Paul Birchall (La Weekly) described Brandon as a "...buff stud-puppy Oliver," and continued that Brandon was "...hitting just the perfect level of bedroom-eyed, saucy innocence." Neal Weaver (Backstage) recognized that Brandon "...is a versatile trouper with wit as well as skill.
