"In his dual roles as Wolf and Horst, David Gow was a revelation. In total command of his instrument, this is an actor’s actor. Limitations of space prevent me from detailing his performance, but I must say that his final scene, desperately attempting to win himself a few moments more of life, was as harrowing and heartbreaking as it was unforgettable. Remember his name.”

-Thaddeus Motyka, Qonstage

"He is astonishing. For an actor to memorize this would be so so difficult, but he does it, david gow. it's a showcase for him. it is very well done."

-Peter Filichia, Broadway Radio

"David Gow in Tommy Flowers shared with audiences the sort of bold, risk-taking artistry that makes you remember what you love about being a New york playgoer. 

-Mark Dundas Wood, "Best Theater of 2017" (StageBuddy)

Gow’s character is almost too hard to resist as he goes back and forth between avowed faithfulness to Gladys and that need every generation suffers of moving away and on from the family ties that entrap you. His work in this role moves the actor another step forward toward leading-man status, but always one with an individual quirkiness.”

-The Berkshire Edge

David Gow shines brightly and connects so deeply with the audience, we feel every ounce of the generous amounts of tenderness, anger, grief and anxiety he seamlessly provides.”

"David Gow, as the innocent Devon is captivating to watch. His journey from a man fighting for his life to an empowered human being is alarmingly alluring. Gow adds a lot of depth and layers to his role which shows what a fine actor he is."

-Nicholas Linnehan, Theater that Matters


"David Gow’s performance is moving to say the least. He went on an emotional journey unlike any other and reached those emotional peaks bringing the audience along with him."

-Kaila M. Stokes, Theater in the Now

"The man is a treasure. As Chad, Gow's comic invention is endless. You won't see a funnier performance on Broadway. On TV. On earth. From the first moment we see him lying on the worktable, eating a bagel obscenely, he cracks the audience up." 

-Gwen Orel

"Gow travels the distance from comedy to drama with an effortlessness that marks an actor on the pathway to greatness. He makes the audience feel every horrific beat in his monologue about what happened to his lover back in Washington, DC with an elegiac percussiveness." 

-Anthony Pennino, the Modernist Beat

"David Gow is a standout as Chad, using his supple body to suggest worlds that amplify the script."

-Broadwayworld

"Meanwhile, there is Devon (David Gow), who changes before our eyes from a blubbering mess and a symbolic representation of casually complicit white America into a complex character for whom life in general makes little sense."

-Howard Miller, Talkin’ Broadway


"Gow does not so much embody the role as devour it. Gow pulls back from the bombast and hubris that often colored individuals from the counter-culture and instead fills his Tommy with vulnerability and despair." 

-Anthony Pennino, The Modernist Beat

Gow’s greatest strength in this role is his constant graciousness to the woman who hates his very existence. Gow inspires hate from her, love from his son and admiration from his partner. The script calls for it and Gow delivers in every line and every move.”

-Berkshire Eagle

Gow is truly superb as Will, offering an illuminating and spot-on portrait of a younger gay man of the generation for whom, at least in the liberal Northeast, being gay is at once essential and unremarkable.”

-Broadwayworld

Gow never gives a false moment in this part, never lets us find him anything less than real and sincere.”

-Berkshire On Stage

Gow’s performance seems effortless and natural, and the tender attachment between Cal and Will is palpable, as is the love for their bright, energetic son.”

"DAVID GOW (DEVON) AS THE YOUNG WHITE MAN PLAYS HIS DIFFICULT PART WITH CARE AND RESPECT, FROM HIS FEAR OF DEATH TO HIS UNAWARE PRIVILEGE, TO AN UNEXPECTED TURN."

-MR Anderon, Theater Pizazz


Gow is great fun to watch. It’s a flashy and challenging role, and the actor explores effectively all the nooks and crannies of Tommy’s jumbled psyche. Gow shows us the part of Tommy that revels in mischief and mayhem.”

“WHAT CLARITY THERE WAS CAME FROM THE BRILLIANT CAST - PARTICULARLY PROPS TO THE VETERAN WITH A HEAD-INJURY (DAVID GOW), WHO DISGUISED SOME RIDICULOUSLY HEAVY-HANDED CHARACTERIZATION UNTIL THE VERY LAST MOMENT.”

-Rachel Aroesti, Three Weeks Edinburgh


Gow stars as the cute and cunning free-wheeling malcontent,bringing a mixture of youthful charisma, immature delinquency, and tragic doggedness to his role. We can’t help but be amused by him (his over-the-top imagining of himself as James Dean, a young handicapped girl confronting the First Lady, and Marilyn Monroe are hilarious).

-Deb Miller, DC Metro Theater Arts

-Darryl Reilly, Theater Scene

-Glenn Morrissey, Hollywood Fringe



"I was particularly impressed with the performance of David Gow (the quiet boy without a name neglected to the point of having never seen the sun, who emerges into Peter Pan, a fearless and selfless leader)." 

-Dr Tom Stevens

"DAVID GOW IS TERRIFIC AS PETER THE ORPHAN WHO, WITH A LITTLE NURTURING FROM MOLLY (PLAYED BY THE WONDERFUL EMMA GEER) COMES OUT OF HIS SHELL AND SAVES THE DAY.

-Heidi Sutton, TBS News Media

"AT THE STEADY HEART OF THE STORY, GOW’S PERFORMANCE RANGES NICELY FROM WRONGED SUITOR TO LOVE-STRUCK “KNIGHT” TO SUFFERING, NEAR-MAD WANDERER. THOSE TRANSITIONS MAKE THE BEAUTIFULLY PLAYED FINAL SCENES EVEN MORE EFFECTIVE." 

-Bill Cissna, Journal Now
