theatrical storytelling that is passionate, percussive, and purposeful

“Tucker’s brilliant staged tribute to Joni Mitchell was one of my favorite theatre events ever.”
— David Catlin (founding Ensemble Member of the Tony Award-winning Lookingglass Theatre Company)
“What an absolutely fantastic experience you’ve created with this show. For many of us who know that music well, it hits a place that Joni says she wants to hit [...] You gave her life all the power it deserves, without an ounce of self-pity or victim to the male ego, that many might have placed on her story, choices, trials and gifts. Bravo.”
— Julie Marie Myatt (LA Drama Critics Circle Award-Winning Playwright)
“The staging was seamless and lyrical with really beautiful stage pictures. Tucker’s choreography had infinite variety and made wonderful use of period dance styles and it was executed with total commitment. I’m running out of adjectives.”
— Dominic Missimi (Jeff Award-winning Director)
“His direction and choreography for Bright Star embodied the show’s swings between gentleness and brashness, folksiness and meanness, poignancy and hope so clearly it, for me, outdid the Broadway production.”
— Billy Siegenfeld (Emmy Award-winning Choreographer)
