“Nussen’s performance is brave and complex, perfectly fitting for Christopher, who is both. Humorous in the right moments, displaying physical mannerisms that intensify as anxiousness does. Gleeful at times, pinned to the floor in fear at others. Soaring through the galaxy, and admiring the rain. Trekking through the streets of London, one step at a time. We go on quite a journey with Christopher, and Nussen makes it thrilling and heart-breaking to do so.” - Rebecca Rudynk, Yabyum West
“…it is in this sense of a character so distinctive and nuanced, that Greg Nussen realizes Christopher, for all his apparent quirks, as a thoroughly relatable and sympathetic figure. Nussen's performance is engrossing. He sweeps across the stage like a pinball, never tilting but always relaying Christopher's mood shifts and solemn observations with pinpoint fidelity.” - Herbert Paine, Broadway World
“Greg Nussen is a revelation as Christopher. It's clear from his performance, which is infused with logic but also excitable outbursts and physical ticks and lacking in almost any emotion, that Christopher is highly intelligent but also completely uncomfortable with any human physical connection. …It's a beautiful, moving and utterly convincing performance.” - Gil Benbrook, Talkin’ Broadway
“Greg Nussen brilliantly captures the character as he sensitively mirrors the disease’s physical and mental challenges without any hint of forced artificiality.” - Chris Curcio, Curtain Up Phoenix

"The first character the audience meets is… a rooster. Or, to be more textually accurate, a cock, but not just any cock. This is Odysseus Rex... Nussen is playing Odysseus (Odie) ... and his portrayal of a drugged-up and angry rooster is enthralling. Nussen's role seems nearly impossible to play, as his character is inherently deaf to any character that is not another bird. Full scenes are played out between Odie and his owner Gil (Travis Moscinski) that could be divided to create two separate monologues, yet Nussen is able to take what he needs from his scene partner while simultaneously exuding his fiery energy.
"One of two world premieres in Theatre West’s annual Writers-in-Rep series, Jule Selbo’s “Boxes” is a taut exercise in psychological manipulation that is one of those rarities in the contemporary theater -- a classically crafted play with well-delineated characters and a satisfyingly linear plot... The linchpin of the show, Gallogly is authoritatively naturalistic, as is the nicely understated Nussen, a real find." - F. Kathleen Foley, The Los Angeles Times
Interview with Siri Srinivas for Arts Culture Beat
"Easily the best fringe show I’ve seen this year is Bad Habit’s production of Tom Stoppard’s Arcadia. The cast gives a flawless and delivery of Stoppard’s language, where there are more than a few mouthfuls, and doesn’t let their comic timing slip once, nailing every single joke in the play… Greg Nussen is memorable and mature as Septimus Hodge, the somber and aloof gentleman scientist and tutor to the cheeky child prodigy Thomasina Coverly." - Bryce Lambert, Boston Lowbrow
"Septimus Hodge, played by Greg Nussen, is questioned by his young pupil Thomasina Coverly... Nussen’s Septimus Hodge is dashing, nonchalant contemporary of Lord Byron. He avoids several altercations by outwitting his adversaries through clever wordplay." - Becca Kidwell, The New England Theatre Geek
"Greg Nussen helped her out tremendously by bringing his wonderful charm and knack for palpable chemistry with him to the scene-stealing role of Septimus Hodge. Despite the extreme subtlety with which their relationship develops, Nussen and Sacco sparkled enough in their banterific scenes together that I was willing to buy absolutely anything they were selling me." - Kelly Bedard, My Entertainment World
“Greg Nussen is irresistibly charming as Orpheus- I didn't doubt for a second that 1) he was beloved the world over, 2) he was awkward about that fact or 3) he'd give everything up for Eurydice… Nussen's performance can be remembered exclusively for that gorgeous proposal scene, the poetic letters that almost made me cry, or the incredible pain of his accusatory tone asking Eurydice why she called his name and made him turn around, killing her forever.” – Kelly Bedard, My Entertainment World
“Orpheus (Greg Nussen) does get a few very poetic passages that Nussen delivers with aplomb…” – Bryce Lambert, Boston Lowbrow
