"Jason Hammond plays Orin Scrivello with a style that is uniquely his own. Hammond's take on the demented dentist is a mixture of dorky sex appeal and cruel delight." --Little Shop of Horrors
--Carolyn Thomas, Phoenix Stages, June 25, 2019
"Orin Scrivello, played to smarmy perfection by Jason Hammond, represents the decay of human decency, as well as the terror that enters the souls of those who visit the dentist. Hammond leans into his role and does not shy away from the depravity the character requires." --Little Shop of Horrors
--Emily Noxon, Broadway World, June 25, 2019
"The best performance, however, belongs to Hammond as the short-tempered black-box director whose cast won't listen. His witty spleen-venting about the quality and value of theater are fueled with drama but never not funny." --The Underpants Godot
--Robrt L. Pela, Phoenix New Times, April 14, 2018
"Though perhaps the final word should be with Jason M. Hammond's Grimsby. In a fairytale world where all characters are colorfully larger than life, Hammond has managed to make Grimsby surprisingly real. His concern for Ariel comes across as authentic, even touching." --The Little Mermaid
--David Appleford, Valley Screen & Stage, July 10, 2017
"Mr. Hammond really shines when he is channeling Barry Manilow and Mel Torme. He has a beautiful voice and has a serious but playful delivery. He is charming all around." --Hang Your Hat at Mr. Kelly's

"Best of all is a brilliantly over-the-top Hammond, whose many pratfalls and repeated shrieks make him a slapstick joy." --No Sex Please, We're British
