"Sean Tarrant, in the title role, gives us an intelligent and decisive Henry, who, after being fooled by the court intrigues of Cardinal Wolsey as a young man, grows into a savvy and ruthless monarch."
Denver Post

 

"Tarrant has been stellar in recent CSF seasons in comic roles, and now he stretches his dramatic muscles. He's a temperamental and charismatic Henry, likable despite his rages. It helps that at 6-foot-6 Tarrant towers over everyone else, but regardless, there's never a doubt who holds the power when Tarrant is on stage."

"As Henry, Sean Tarrant has a coltish majesty, a king who hasn't quite settled into his crown. He quickly becomes more imperious and cagey, however, and enjoys the spoils of his position as he sets his sights on the young Anne Bullen (Boleyn), played by Megan Pearl Smith as a smart woman who knows her value."
