“Ilan Galkoff who plays Ari is a revelation. The show simply would not work without him. Compelling and expressive, the character is three dimensional. He is funny and likeable without being perfect. He feels real, and that is the central reason the show works.”
A Young(ish) Perspective on ‘Faygele’ (2025)
“Galkoff takes on the role of Ari exceptionally, managing the complexity of hard emotions with the comedy of a young man witnessing his own funeral in the afterlife. He is captivating and humorous in all the right places.”
London Theatre Reviews on ‘Faygele’ (2025)
“Ilan Galkoff leads the cast as Ari Freed in a sensational performance. His ability to charm and flirt not just his fellow cast members but also the audience allows for a compelling portrayal. Galkoff showcases versatility, range, and a real abundance of skill in a stunning characterisation.”
All That Dazzles on ‘Faygele’ (2025)
“Ilan Galkoff’s moments as Young Billy provide real heart to the production. He makes a big impression in little time, presenting a sweetly endearing timidity during Billy’s early interactions with Wilton’s monolith.”
The Reviews Hub on ‘Backstairs Billy’ (2024)
“I wish I could say, ‘I knew him when’, however, despite his young age, Ilan was already an accomplished stage and screen actor when I first ‘found’ him. He can adjust his timing, tone and emotion with precision. And he can sing. But best of all, he’s a humble joy to work with. No wonder his career continues to rise like a rocket.”
David Freedman, Director of ‘My Father’s Secrets’ (2022)
