as River

"Eric Anderson, another local veteran talent, obviously enjoys essaying the buffoonish River, an outrageous hippie whose credo of free love doesn't always sit well with his various ladies. Like Strong, his specialty numbers are solid – notably "Signs," in which his singing blisters, and "Spinning Wheel," where his vocals resemble those of David Clayton-Thomas." --OC Register

"It’s hard to imagine a stronger cast for Summer Of Love’s World Premiere than the one assembled by Musical Theatre West, headed by L.A.-to-Broadway transplant Anderson, making a welcome (albeit brief) return to the West Coast in an all-around terrific “peace, love, and sexual healing” performance." --Stage Scene LA

"Eric Anderson is charismatic as the ebullient River, who leads fellow tribe members in showstopping group numbers such as "Spinning Wheel," graced by Lee Martino's knockout choreography."

--Backstage West

"As Tribe instigator River, Anderson does a slinky, seductive hippie with great panache." --BroadwayWorld
