Here are some nice things reviewers had to say about his acting performances:
OR, AN ASTRONAUT PLAY
The Tank, January 2020
The Tank, January 2020
Holding the center is Unger as Tom, and in addition to embodying the rare combination of leading-man looks and goofiness, Unger conveys both Tom’s disappointment at the turn his personal life takes and the character’s ignorance of his advantages. - Off Off Online, Jan. 9th, 2020
Unger as Tom played the role with the perfect amount of naivety that made us love him in the beginning but hate him by the end. Though, the hatred did not make his ridiculous actions any less entertaining. - OnStage Blog, Jan. 10th, 2020
MAYBE TOMORROW
NY International Fringe Festival, August 2015
NY International Fringe Festival, August 2015
“Maybe Tomorrow” […] seems similarly unlikely to touch emotional chords, but touch them it does, particularly with its sneak-attack ending. […] it’s a comedy that plays with notions of reality and theater, persistently upending perceptions as it sketches a portrait of Gail’s marriage to Ben (Harrison Unger) and her flight from life outside the bathroom door. - New York Times, Aug. 25th, 2015
This is a play you need to see to believe. And once you do, you'll believe in the magic. Mondi's script is good but it's the way Jennifer Bareilles and Harrison Unger play it that make it what it is. […] Harrison Unger provides the perfect support to Bareilles and the play. […] Unger has a knack for finding the humor in the dramatic and the dramatic in the absurdity. […] Maybe Tomorrow is what some would call perfect. The amount of hope and promise in this production and every single person involved is almost unfair. Keep this show and these artists on your radar. - Theatre in the Now, Aug. 23rd, 2015
[…] the show's message of taking the time to understand each other rings loud and clear. And helping bring this message home even further is the amazing duo of Bareilles and Unger. This show is sold out for its entire run and I suspect it has something to do with the cast. Their performances are honest and their chemistry is absolutely noticeable. The pair do a fantastic job humanizing the situation and actually making us care about them. - Theatre Is Easy, Aug. 18th, 2015
Casting everything about relationships into doubt and having fun with it is the great joy of this production. Both performers are so perfect, and so able to make each other (and the audience) happy to inquire into what is not really known. - NY Theatre Now, Aug. 18th, 2015
Unger gives a supportive, sensitive performance making it difficult to judge or blame Ben’s character for not doing more. - Stage Buddy, Aug. 20th, 2015
Harrison Unger’s and Jennifer Bareilles’ strong commitment to Mr. Mondi’s complex and dense writing pays off. […They] explore Max Mondi’s script with impressive craft and commitment to authenticity. - Theatre Reviews Limited, Aug. 18th, 2015
WAREHOUSE OF HORRORS: GOWANUS '73
The Brooklyn Lyceum, October 2012
The Brooklyn Lyceum, October 2012
The cast is generally capable with a few stand outs. Harrison Unger impresses as Nick, with his mustache twitching and his veneer of self-confidence stripping away as the plan starts to unravel. - New York Theatre Review, Oct. 19th, 2012
THE AWAKENING
The Brooklyn Lyceum, August 2012
The Brooklyn Lyceum, August 2012
Harrison Unger as Robert Lebrun […] is warm, sensuous, and sanguine — a perfect picture of an impetuous, boyish lover. His transformation into a shamefaced coward at the end of the play is striking, which serves to underline Mr. Unger’s talent as an actor. - Cultural Capitol, Aug. 30th, 2012
