Lucky Stiff
Janine LaManna (as) Rita and Robert Anthony Jones (as) hapless, panicky Vinnie deliver major comic portrayals. Their early scene, with the song "Rita's Confession," is especially a hoot. (Jones) uses facial expressions of shock, horror, worry, dismay, and reluctant agreement in some resourceful clowning.

The Prom
The core performances in The Prom exceeded every expectation I had. Jones’ Barry is a firecracker on steroids, bursting with pure, unhinged delight while letting honest vulnerability seep through the cracks at key moments like his stunning confessional “Barry Is Going to Prom”

Matilda
And then there’s the bull-nosed, monster of a head mistress Miss Trunchbull played by Robert Anthony Jones. (Yes, Robert!) Mr. Jones takes on this role with such comical venom, that I wasn’t sure if I should laugh or run for the door. His song about her youthful hammer-throwing days, The Hammer, is hilariously terrifying.
-Union Democrat
Robert Anthony Jones is terrifying, scary, disturbing and appropriately sadistic. His large frame and booming voice all make for a chilling and tyrannical picture.

Addams Family
The script itself delivers lots for the character of Uncle Fester to work with - but it's Robert Anthony Jones' timing, over-the-top knack for camp and hysterical physical comedy that electrifies the stage every time he appears. I've seen the show before and enjoyed it - but didn't recall it being as funny as this production, in large part, thanks to Jones' Fester.
-Aisle Seat
Robert Anthony Jones as Fester embodies the looney, dementedly charming uncle we have all come to adore. The show has a lot of laughs, but Mr. Jones as Fester had me raucously laughing out loud. He has a somewhat silly song called “The Moon and Me”, but Mr. Jones takes this number and makes it a comic masterpiece.

Something Rotten
In “A Musical,” an eight-minute song and the play’s highlight, Nostradamus predicts the entire future of musical theater. Jones’ brash, more-is-more performance is exactly what the musical calls for—he steals the show anytime he’s on stage.

Phantom
Carlotta’s meek husband, Alain Cholet, is given a droll and often hilarious turn by Robert Anthony Jones.

Finding Neverland
The whole cast is delightful. Who says you have to have a major role to shine. Jonathan Ritter and Robert Anthony Jones do just that...they are fantastic.

The 101 Dalmatians Musical
Other standouts were the actors who played Jasper (Michael Thomas Holmes) and Jinx (Robert Anthony Jones). True scene stealers with their criminal antics and goofiness. They really stopped the show with their second act number "Having the Crime of our Lives."
—Broadway World
Cruella's two henchmen, Jasper and Jinx (Michael Thomas Holmes and Robert Anthony Jones) danced and sung their way into everyone's hearts with "Having the Crime of Our Lives," a charming Marx Brothers inspired turn.

La Cage Aux Folles
The chemistry between McGowan and Jones in and of itself feels genuine and palpable...Mr. Jones' "ZaZa" is a powder keg of sassy ferocity - a real winner! Aside from his cheeky demeanor and occasional interjections with the audience, the price of admission is viscerally realized with his show-stopping performance of "I Am What I Am."
—Broadway World
Sweeney Todd
They are aided by a talented supporting cast...Robert Anthony Jones, as Beadle Bamford, the judge’s sidekick, shows the banality of officious evil.
—New York Times
Damn Yankees
The production soars when Robert Anthony Jones as Mr. Applegate and Adriane Leigh Robinson as Lola take to the stage…Jones hits all the right notes, especially during the musical number “Good Old Days,” as he orders the stage crew to, “clear the stage, I need room to overact!” Jones delivers a high-caliber performance from start to finish.

Bunnicula
The only characters who really matter are Chester, a cat (Prescott Seymour) who hates change, Harold (Robert Anthony Jones), a dog who’s insecure, and Bunnicula, a mysterious new pet who may or may not be a tomato-draining veggie vampire. The latter is a puppet, and the first two are adorable — and, being adorable, are duly presented with a solidly composed best-friends song, which they sing the hell out of.
—Vulture
Bunnicula is quirky and laugh out loud funny...the back and forth between Robert Anthony Jones as Harold and Prescott Seymour as Chester is perfect; the dynamic is plain to hear...Robert Anthony Jones is perfect in the leading role.
—Broadway World
Beauty and the Beast
Robert Anthony Jones as Cogsworth and Jonathan Cobrda are a strong comedic duo, playing off each other with impeccable comic timing.

The Producers
Robert Anthony Jones is pitch perfect as Bialystock. His comic delivery is sly and spot on. He's able to make the most of Bialystock's sleaze-bag qualities, while still infusing the character with tons of likability.

Chicago
But through all this musical furor, it's Robert Anthony Jones who nearly steals the show in a simple song delivered by himself in dead center stage. As Amos, the poor, forgotten, pudgy husband of Roxie, Jones layers emotional depth into his tale of woe in Mister Cellophane. His resonant performance is magic and anchors the cynical music with its only touch of sincerity.
—Florida Today
Jones' woebegone delivery has echoes of Nathan Lane and he gives the second act a lift with a powerhouse rendition of Mister Cellophane.
