Boq
“Equal parts vocally impressive is Boq (DJ Plunkett) and While his character may fall away from the main plot, Plunkett delivers a memorable performance that is well worth noting in a spectacle-laden production like Wicked…As the love-struck Boq, he is chipper and spry of voice during “Dancing Through Life”, while finding emotional darkness during his featured segment of “March of the Witch Hunters.”

“DJ Plunkett is also very good as Boq, so adorable that you just want to shake Glinda and get her to realize what a sweet guy he is for a Munchkin.”

Boq
“DJ Plunkett quietly wallows in self-pity as lovelorn Munchkin Boq, well matched with the melancholy Amanda Fallon Smith as Elphaba’s sister in a wheelchair, Nessarose.”

“DJ Plunkett brilliantly conveys tenderness, vulnerability, spunk, and dread as Pirelli’s humble assistant Tobias Ragg. His moving rendition of “Not While I’m Around” is a genuine heartbreaker. Vocally Sublime.”

Tobias Ragg
“DJ Plunkett’s portrayal of Tobias Ragg also stood out to me as one of the highlights of the show. The chemistry and relationship between Mrs. Lovett and Toby was well developed and especially convincing in ‘Not While I’m Around” which offered a heart warming moment. And the pace was elevated in ‘Pirelli’s Miracle Elixer’.”

Tobias Ragg
“The show stopping number “Not While I’m Around” brought me to tears. DJ Plunkett, a graduate of CCM, plays Toby as quirky, twisted, and is ultimately the most sympathetic character in the show. We see how his arc develops with professional clarity. And his vocals are impeccable.”

“DJ Plunkett’s Tobias Ragg completely captures the naive, not-quite-all-there assistant first to rival barber Pirelli and then to Mrs. Lovett. He acts sharply as he pledges in “Not While I’m Around.” The actor, voice and character all meld.”

Flounder
“DJ Plunkett is one of the most consistent, professional, and vocally-healthy performers I know. For this role he rides a rip stick... he is effortless as he rolls into view...He is completely believable as the young tropical fish with a crush on Ariel; his heart-breaking delivery of the line “I’d miss you if you were gone” is throat-lump inducing. And when he sings “She’s in Love” . . . well, it’s just about perfect.”

BROADWAY'S RISING STARS CONCERT

Vocalist
"The show opened with a somewhat diminutive DJ Plunkett singing "Go The Distance" from "Hercules" and despite being small in stature, he grew ten feet tall as he progressed and blew the audience away. Ah, that CCM training! I could sense this would be the start of a great evening.” … “This year, there were no over the top pyrotechnics, a la "American Idol", in fact, there wasn't a false note all evening. These were trained stage pros. These men and women were musical theatre stars in their infancy. It was sheer joy to hear all of them."
