It seems like it would  make anyone’s day, and it actually did.With the video going viral and  the word getting around about this amazing singer, it was finally  revealed that the singer was Rhett Wheeler. He’s no amateur, but this  was a “dream come true” to him and who knows where this could take him."

Quotes about musical theater performance

'Ursula' in The Little Mermaid

'Ursula' in The Little Mermaid

'Ursula' in The Little Mermaid

"But  by curtain call time it was clear that the favorite character in the  eyes and hearts of my fellow spectators was Ariel’s nasty water witch  Auntie Ursula. No fairytale, of course, is worth its salt without a  flamboyant female baddie, especially if she’s covered in tentacles and  played by a guy as wildly over the top as the irrepressible Rhett  Wheeler."

- Philip Pearce, Performing Arts Monterey Bay​

'Bert' in Mary Poppins

'Ursula' in The Little Mermaid

'Ursula' in The Little Mermaid

"Mary's  chimney sweeping pal, the show's narrator, Bert, is played with great  ease and charm by Rhett Wheeler. Like Navaille [Mary Poppins], Wheeler is what they  call a triple threat - great at acting, singing and dancing."

​-Mark Shilstone-Laurent, Monterey Herald

'Bert' in Mary Poppins

'Lead Jazz Vocalist' in Big Band Beat

'Lead Jazz Vocalist' in Big Band Beat

"Julian  Fellowes’ script cleverly uses Bert, Mary Poppins’ chimney sweep buddy,  as a narrator/commentator. Rhett Wheeler is delightful in the role,  appropriately jocular, charming and reflective as the words and music of  “Chim-chim Cheree” point up sometimes wistful, sometimes funny turning  points in the story. He’s got a fine voice and he’s adept and athletic  in the raucous toe-tapping numbers like 'Step in Time.'"
