“Sean Donovan has long been an important presence in the downtown scene. He’s the dancer with the Nijinsky eyes and molten spine in pieces by Miguel Gutierrez, Faye Driscoll and Jane Comfort; he’s the actor with the wicked glint and Cary Grant chin in plays by the Builder’s Association and Witness Relocation.” – TimeOut

“Sean Donovan (Cabin, The Reception) did the marvelous, often hysterical choreography, which is a character unto itself, helping define the four women and how they view the world.” – This Week in NY

“Sean Donovan’s choreography is inspired. There’s nothing women of a certain age and lack of fitness can’t execute. Limbs are employed with quirky ingenuity and slow grace.” – BroadwayWorld.com 

“Mr. Donovan is a supremely charming actor.” – The New York Times

“Sean Donovan excels in his menagerie of supporting roles.” – The Boston Globe

“The well-mustachioed Donovan is an extremely talented comic actor who was a standout” This Week in NY

“Sean Donovan is one of my favorite downtown actors, with his big eyes and lanky body, he always seems a little surprised and freaked out, a little startled by the absurdity of any given situation.”  – Culturebot

“Sean Donovan increases the value of every scene he inhabits, somehow turning a two-minute turn into a three-dimensional character with a singular voice, heft and walking pattern. It’s clear that he is a talented actor and singer as well as dancer.”  – BachTrack

“Donovan builds a tranquil place effortlessly, and then creates darkness within the negative (theatrical) space around it, using it as atmospheric pressure to hold the memory in place. He never quite destroys his creation, but in an abstract sense, he transfers his memory to us and the traumatic event that disrupts it feels all the more nightmarish.”               –  Culturebot

“Sean Donovan and Sebastián Calderón Bentin’s, “The Climate Chronicles” succeeds wildly…Staged with absurd panache and true-to-life humor.”   – Backstage Magazine
