Nico carried this production with charisma, intelligence, and relentless comic energy. From the opening of “God, I Hate Shakespeare” to the tap-heavy “Bottom’s Gonna Be on Top,” his performance never lagged in momentum. Nico brought a full emotional arc to Nick, from the swaggering, ambitious underdog to a brother humbled by failure and family. His physical comedy, vocal stamina, and precise timing gave every joke a purpose and every moment a payoff. In “A Musical,” he led with control and clarity, making sense of chaos with his body, voice, and face. He understood that Nick is both the butt of the joke and its driver, and he delivered on both fronts. His connection with other characters, especially Nigel and Bea, grounded the show’s emotional core. Nico’s performance never felt isolated, even as Nick spun out into desperation. He was a part of the world, not just a lead above it. The role asks a lot of any performer, and Nico met the challenge with sharp instincts, vocal agility, and the kind of stage presence that makes the audience root for a deeply flawed character.
