The Money Fi$h Reviews
StageHappenings.com- Recommended
"...This is a special guy in a special production. There's only us and him (no understudy), with a powerful form of communication established. You have to see this if only for its unique view of human tenacity and guts."

"...In The Money Fish, which he wrote as an acting vehicle for himself, Cox re-creates his time at sea"�a time filled with danger, cold, sickness, stench and death. Aided by John Iacovelli's hulking set, Leigh Allen's moody lighting, and, above all, by Michael Arabian's expert direction, Cox vividly conveys what it takes to survive in a brutal, unforgiving world."

"...Cox didn't immediately decide to write about his experiences, but allowed the story to ripen within him as he went back to college and took some acting classes. It ultimately took him five years to write and polish the story that we see. He has nary a moment of hesitation or divertissement, but drives the story forward with the confidence of one who lived it. It is this authenticity that makes The Money Fish a worthwhile theatrical treat."

"...One man shows can be good or bad. This one, despite being a bit long, and his baby face, which makes you wonder at the beginning if the story is true, was excellent. At times, it was amusing - like his description of meeting the family of killer whales and watching then protect their young - and other times, horrifying as he held his dying friend who'd been hit by a loose pulley in his lap."

"...Under Michael Arabian's dynamic direction, Cox creates a number of people who influenced his life"
