Vanya in Vanya & Sonia & Masha & Spike by Christopher Durang
Simon Fest Theatre Co.
"You must always get your hopes up."
"Really? That sounds wise but scary."
Winner of the 2013 Tony Award for Best Play. Middle-aged siblings Vanya and Sonia share a home where they commiserate about their mundane lives. Suddenly, their movie-star sister, Masha, swoops in with her new boy toy, Spike, and the comedy flies! simonfest.org
The Spectrum & Daily News, JJ DeForest
“Kade Cox is a nervous, jaded, hopeful Vanya who occupies each scene with weariness until his blow-up/confessional brings the weekend to its climax.”
Utah Theatre Bloggers Association, Sara Claverie
"Vanya played by Kade Cox, had the best monologue in the show. [He made] it feel like I was riding on a merry-go-round, spinning faster and faster."
Front Row Reviewers Utah, Jennifer Mustoe
"I instantly connected with Vanya, played by Kade Cox, as he expressed his concerns over the differences in his two cups of coffee. I found his evolution as he starts to connect with the others in his life heartening and I was rooting for him when he finally can’t take it anymore and goes off on Spike in an epic rant."
