Avenue Q (Gateway Playhouse):
"Each performance was strong especially Chris Cooke (Nicky, Trekkie Monster and Bear) whose range of animated voices are hysterical and scarily similar to the original Broadway cast."
(Lisa DiCarlucci, The Hofstra Chronicle - 2010)
Avenue Q (Gateway Playhouse):
"I smiled all the way through the Gateway Playhouse's sweet, naughty, hilarious, absolutely first-rate production of 'Avenue Q.' The whole cast is terrific."
(Anita Gates, New York Times - 2010)
Happy Days The Musical (Gateway Playhouse):
"...the Dial Tones — Robert McCaffrey as Potsie, Chris Cooke as Ralph and Jack Holahan as Chachi, Fonzie's cousin — offer beautifully blended four-part ballads that punctuate the show. These guys can really sing..."
(Naomi Siegel, New York Times - 2010)
Henry and Mudge (Theatreworks USA):
"Chris Cooke and Katja Zarolinski do well as Henry's parents, somewhat befuddled and cartoonish like most parents in children's stories but showing enough warmth to let you know they are loving parents.
(By David Cannon, Sentinel Arts Critic, 2009)"
Joseph and the Amazing... (The Mac-Haydn Theatre):
"One of the best moments in the production comes when Simeon (Chris Cooke) and his brothers decide they long for Joseph's company and are sorry they sold him into slavery. They sing Those Canaan Days"

High Society (The Mac-Haydn Theatre):
"Of the three gentlemen eying for Tracy's affections, Cooke has the most fully rounded role, and he does a nice job of it. I loved his drunken rendition of Sensational..." (Gail Sez, NY, May 2009)
