Miles played Garry in NOISES OFF for over two years! He joined the long running hit Chicago production after playing the same role out West with The Old Lyric Repertory Company.

During the Chicago run, he had the thrill of singing the National Anthem for a Bulls game - finishing it off with a courtside (very) high five from Michael Jordan!

It's on his short list of all time favorite plays - to see, read or perform. Although he admits it was very physically demanding. He was once quoted in an interview on the subject, saying "There's nothing like a nightly fight with a flight of stairs to keep a man in shape!"











 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 






Miles received critical and audience acclaim playing Feste in Tom Rowan's boistrous New York production of TWELFTH NIGHT. Tom set the play on the 1950's Italian Riviera. That gave the whole production a very TALENTED MR. RIPLEY flavor.

Jason Wynn composed a score of brilliant new Neapolitan ballads for Miles to sing, and their teaming resulted in more professional acclaim for them both, as well as the beginning of a great friendship and professional collaboration.


"Miles Phillips was a bongo-playing beatnik with a fabulous singing voice."

"Jason Wynn has contributed some lovely songs for Feste to sing - honestly pretty original compositions, these, worthy of a rehearing. In this TWELFTH NIGHT, they are indeed the food of love - a feast within a feast, in this effervescent, magical concoction of romance and comedy."
-- Martin Denton / nytheatre.com








 






CANDIDA marked Miles' first production of a George Bernard Shaw play. There have been many since! And he's returned to the role of Marchbanks a couple of times. It remains one of his favorite roles.

"The finest characterization was turned in by Miles Phillips, as the young poet, Eugene Marchbanks . . . Phillips exaggerates poetic gestures, the sweeping hands, the reclining on a couch and gazing out a window . . . Yet he was also earnest in his youthful, passionate love of Candida. His foppishness contrasted with perceptive comments about the other characters . . . His timing made for some of the funniest moments in the play."















 

THE CONTRAST

"Ah, yes, the handsome soldier. Miles Phillips might as well have an 'S' on his t-shirt, which would be underneath the flag he is wrapped in. He reeks of apple pie. Phillips' singing voice shows the background of many a musical production and is silky smooth and solid. Phillips helps the play finally get around to a little patriotism - which must have been the author's intent, surely - near the production's end."




THE LION IN WINTER

"Miles Phillips made a cameo appearance as Philip, King of France. As we have come to expect, his performance was clean and concise. And Philip's motivation rang through."
