"Olson is great as Victor Frankenstein, forced to portray a wide emotional range: from the thrill of scientific achievement, to repulsion and aggressive hatred towards his creation." - Dave R. Davison (Tacoma Weekly)
"Frankenstein, as portrayed by Olson, is an abundantly selfish man, allowing tragedies to pile up by simply refusing to take responsibility for what his reckless work has brought to the world." - Rev. Adam McKinney (The Weekly Volcano)
"The New Muses production was adapted and directed by Niclas Olson, who must be one of Tacoma’s busiest thespians, what with the running of New Muses, adapting plays, directing, acting and doing work for other theaters." - Dave R. Davison (Tacoma Weekly)
Olson's histrionics as the overly dramatic Peer Gynt are a joy to watch as he switches lightning-fast from absurdly comical to intensely dramatic. This is a tour de force for Olson, who wrote the adaptation, designed the simple but effective set, directed and starred as the leading character. - Alec Clayton
Olson stars as Peer Gynt, fleshing the character out in all its mercurial complexity… Performances by New Muses Theatre Company are always a treat, classics like “Peer Gynt” especially so.” - Dave R. Davison (Tacoma Weekly)
Director Niclas Olson, who is also TLT's resident lighting designer... is great at putting on classic plays like those of Henrik Ibsen and William Shakespeare. -Dave R. Davison
Watch Niclas Olson along with Chris James and Chris Serface talking about TLT's Of Mice and Men on Tacoma Cityline.
“Of Mice and Men” is exceedingly well directed by multi-talented Niclas Olson, who keeps true to the script and shows love for the story and compassion for the blight of the leads. - Lynn Geyer
But it’s Quinn and James — guided by immaculate pacing by director Niclas Olson — who make this show a must-see, drawing out every inch of pain from that final scene and opening up the play’s raw heart for us all to think about. - Rosemary Ponnekanti
