Performer and Music Director Press

• As Music Director in ‘Gutenberg: The Musical’ - Chris’s Corner - 2021

  “Tim Vallier’s musical direction is right on the mark as he understands the humor and beats of the songs and they are excellently performed by Sara Collins on piano.“ -Chris Elston

  “Tim Vallier pulls out all the stops with Queen’s ‘Save Me.’“ -Christine Swerczek

• As Beast in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ - OCP - Broadway World - 2017

  “When he sings ‘If I Can’t Love Her,’ he brings down the house. His voice is chillingly deep, resonant, powerful, and melodious. You can hear the ‘wows!’ and ‘who is that?’ from the people in the audience. It was my high point in the show for sure.” -Christine Swerczek

• As Beast in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ - OCP - OWH - 2017

  “Tim Vallier injected vulnerability and wistfulness into the Beast.” -Betsie Freeman

• As Beast in ‘Beauty and the Beast’ - OCP - Chris’s Corner - 2017

  “Timothy Vallier makes a triumphant debut at the Playhouse with his interpretation of the Beast.  Vallier has a phenomenally well-modulated voice, capable of a wide range of nuances ranging from animalistic snorting to cold anger to desperate loneliness to tender love.  He excellently executes Beast’s transformation from his temperamental, arrogant old self to his emergence as a kind and loving man.  Vallier also has a honey-sweet tenor which is well utilized in “If I Can’t Love Her” and “How Long Must This Go On?” -Chris Elston

• As Vocalist in ‘Mister and Miscast - A Gender Bending Musical Theatre Cabaret’ - Broadway World - 2017
