"It seemed at [The Producers] Broadway premiere nearly inconceivable that anyone could, (or would), ever dare to fill the Lane/Broderick shoes. Theatre-by-the-Sea’s Bob Arnold and Doug Trapp not only fill them, but walk off with them entirely.
Doug Trapp worked effortlessly as the classic nerd “Leo Bloom,” the visiting accountant who stumbles on the fact that a producer could essentially “make more money with a flop than with a hit.” From that realization onward, the audience took very unabashedly to rolling in the aisles.”
- Andrew Long, Warwick Beacon/Cranston Herald

"As Bialystock and Bloom, Arnold and Trapp are in top form, generating laughter with a mere glance or with their over-the-top physical comedy. Both have fine voices and an exquisite sense of comic timing. Trapp’s feet virtually fly in the dance numbers.”
- Dave Christner, Mercury

“The two leads played a well-volleyed match on stage...Balancing well off Arnold’s crazed characterization is Doug Trapp as the nerdy, neurotic accountant, Leo Bloom. Totally believable, Trapp delights, as Bloom grows from a wannabe producer to a full-fledged, first-class schemer. He makes you cheer him on in “I Want to be a Producer” and touches your heart in his duet with Arnold in “Till Him.”
- Geri Sereno, The Edge

“Trapp captures the mousy quality and gives physical definiton to the transtition from mouse to lion. Trapp’s inter-play with Bloom’s baby blanket was done as funny as I have ever seen it done.”
- Randy Rice, broadwayworld.com
 

“...two excellent men in the pivotal roles of Max Bialystock and Leo Bloom. Doug Trapp is marvelous
as the nebbish Leo Bloom.”
- Marshall Williams, The Sun
 

“Doug Trapp is equally engaging as the
mousy accountant Leo Bloom...Trapp’s inflections, mannerisms and exaggerated behaviors hysterically betray his extreme insecurity (physically manifested by the torn piece of blue “blankie” he keeps in his pocket for emotional emergencies).
- Doug Norris, South County Indepenendent

“...when it came to acting, the leads were impressive...Playing opposite [Max] as Leo is Doug Trapp, who was funniest as the nervous wreck of an accountant...there were echoes of Don Knotts in his portrayal.”
- Channing Gray, The Providence Journal
