"Vargas, returning for the third time this season...adds a touch of “Warhorse” to the production... Tony, a formidable acting presence, singer, dancer and now puppeteer is a tour de force on stage." Metro Diversity
"But it’s Vargas’ spellbinding portrayal of Polilla...who propels the plot forward and makes the pieces fit" DC Theater Scene
"But Antonio Vargas’s Polilla, Carlos’s servant, stands out. His quips and gestures, beginning with his impersonation of Diana in the first act, remain consistently funny through to the play’s end." Baltimore Post Examiner -
"Ortiz, Arraiza, Vargas and Castrello brought a spunky cha-cha to this musical number highlighted by the farcical persona of Vargas’s character in drag. It was a blast!" DC Metro Theatre Arts
"Vargas plays Polilla with riveting phisicality..." DC Theatre Scene
"...the comedic flair and powerhouse performance of Polilla (Antonio Vargas) provides moral teachings with laughter that keep the audience enthralled..."DC Metro Theatre Arts
"Vargas, as the valet, provides refreshing irreverence that contrasts with the aristocrats high falutin poetry and sentiments." Showbiz radio
"New York actor Antonio Vargas is charming as Pedro, the revolutionary peasant, who works under Esteban and plays a guitar, sings protest songs, and dares to hit his head against the class ceiling, a lower class man sleeping with an upper class woman.
In addition, Vargas, who assists as a choreographer, seems to revel in the joy of being a puppeteer who pulls the strings for Barabbas, by award-winning puppet designer, Ingrid Crepeau. Barabbas, named after the thief who was crucified next to Jesus, is the big, black dog, who behaves like a puppy. When his strings are pulled, the puppet trembles with pleasure after Clara pets him."
