“McGuigan’s frequent leaps around the stage were like lightning bolts that electrified the audience as well as the cast.”

“McGuigan, who expended enough energy to light Akron for two weeks, gave a tour de force effort that is one of the showcase performances of recent years here – perhaps of the Playhouse’s history.”
   – Jim Delmont, The Omaha World Herald

“McGuigan had been giving us a blowout evening of down and rowdy, and then slipped sweetly into this expressive ballad (Raining In My Heart). That switch of tones and McGuigan's dead-on sensitivity to that moment in Holly's creative life, put McGuigan on my list of theater heroes.”
   – Roberta Burnett, The Arizona Republic

“Billy’s show is a two hour, high energy, rock n’ roll extravaganza.”
   – Travis Justice, Action 3 News
