Legally Blonde
Ocean State Theatre Company, RI
"Adam Ryan Tackett plays Emmett Forrest, Elle's first friend at Harvard. Tackett provides a grounding influence, nicely foiling Elle's force‐of‐nature presence, but he also holds his own both as a well‐rounded leading man and in the offhand delivery of several humorous lines." -BroadwayWorld.com
"Adam Ryan Tackett, who stars opposite Gorgone, is excellent as Emmett, the loveable student teacher who helps Elle find her way."
-630WPRO.com
"Mr. Tackett is energetic and effective in the role, convincing us of his sincere concern for Ell and brining out the best in her. He is sheer delight in his duet with Elle,“Legally Blonde”..."
-Richard Pacheco, The Theatre Mirror
"[Adam] is terrific in this role... His top notch tenor voice soars in his songs as he gives a compassionate portrayal of this role. Adam
also has some comic moments... His standout moment occurs during the dramatic sequence when Emmett finally admits his love for Elle in "Legally Blonde" which brings the audience to tears."
-Little Rhody Theater Review
"Along the way [Elle] is befriended by a young lawyer- excellent performance by Adam Ryan Tackett..."
