REVIEWS
“In his turn, Jake Koch embraces his moment in the limelight, leading the players in a raucous and rousing “We Beseech Thee”, as the “goats” doomed to damnation for their earthly transgressions beg for mercy. Koch has a voice that no doubt reached the heavens with his appeal. Bravo, Sir, for giving goats everywhere the chance they deserve for repentance.” “Thank Kristen Clark Bielefeldt and Jake Koch for their spot-on turns as almost “2nd Banana” comic relief as co-writer and producers Maggie Jones and Bert Barrie. Their antics in “Shuffle off to Buffalo,” a marvelously staged number featuring the women of the ensemble and a most imaginative Pullman train car set piece, are delightful moments of broad comedy, coupled with fine singing and some pretty fancy footwork.” 
“Jake Koch is Willard, who does a great job as the comic relief of the show and ends up revealing a very exciting twist to his character and presenting, in Act II, heretofore unseen talents on the stage.”Jake Koch is a delight as Willard Hewitt” “The formidable Mrs. Peterson was played by one Jake Koch in high camp, wearing sensible shoes and a fur coat. Peals of laughter greeted her every over-the-top movement. This artist is a real stage animal!” 
Jake Koch was a brilliant choice for the sooth-sayer who predicts the creation of the musical. His work was as good as the original Nostradamus on Broadway, Brad Oscar. He should keep the role, and I hope you see him do it.”“Jake Koch turns in a hilarious performance as the seer, Nostradamus—shape shifting as he intuits the future of theatre”
