Altar Boyz
“What keeps the energy up is the dance numbers, cleverly choreographed by Michael Mizerany. The quality of choreographic execution by the boyz is the highlight of the show, and the moves themselves will keep smiles on faces all evening long. Bill Eadie, San Diego Story

“These boys are lucky to have extensive and eminently watchable choreography by Michael Mizerany of Malashock Dance. In addition to the expected steps and arm movements reminiscent of boy bands of the past, there’s a rap song complete with break dancing and cartwheels.” Jean Lowerison, SDGLN News

“Associate producer/choreographer Michael Mizerany’s from-the-ground-up choreography is equally exciting, integrating rhythmic genuflecting and signs of the cross into the Boyz’ *NSYNC-ready moves and grooves.” Steven Stanley, StageScene LA

Bare: A Pop Opera
“…choreographer Michael Mizerany makes the very most of bare’s ensemble numbers, opening with an exciting, dramatic “Epiphany,” followed by a sexy “Wonderland” rave sequence, a revival meeting-esque “Wedding Bells,” and some fabulous Dreamgirls-ready moves for “911! Emergency.” Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA

Bedroom & Boyfriends
“Compulsion artistic director/producer Michael Mizerany wrote the first and best of the plays, “Peter & Bart,” a bittersweet , funny and easy-flowing story about a young male prostitute who has fallen for his older, embittered, Viagra-popping client (played with a quiet sadness by Joey Landwehr).” Pam Kragen, San Diego Tribune

Dido & Aeneas
“San Diego’s leading dance guru Michal Mizerany proved an equally adroit choice to give the opera’s underworld denizens funky contemporary choreography to match McCallum’s eerie grunge rumble. Dance was an important component in Purcell’s opera, and Mizerany suffused this production with stylized athletic choreography that significantly deepened the opera’s emotional compass. “ Ken Herman, San Diego Story

Hot Guys Dancing
“My favorites were by Mizerany. “Let Me Into Your Skin” is a duet danced beautifully and sensitively by John Paul Lawson and Chad Ortiz, who depict attraction, charmingly pretending to ignore each other until they finally give in and hook up. And the stunning premiere of Mizerany’s “Via Dolorosa,” danced by Ortiz to Morten Lauridsen’s lovely choral piece “O Magnum Mysterium” is breathtakingly, achingly beautiful.” Jean Lowerison, SDLGBT News

Rocky Horror Show
“So between the music that fans just cannot help singing along with, the sensuous choreography, supreme acting, the added comedic elements, this play takes you on a journey as you cannot help but be sucked in by everything going on.” Albert H. Fulcher, LGBTQ San Diego County News

“Each of the above evil tots earns his or her own super-freaky production number thanks to director Rob Lutfy and choreographer Michael Mizerany at their most unbridled and unhinged, and a production design that could easily turn out San Diego’s Best Of 2017. Steven Stanley, Stage Scene LA

Smokey Joe’s Cafe
“…Mizerany is clearly a director’s choreographer, investing as much in his staff’s characterizations as in his movement blueprint…Martin Jones Westlin, San Diego Story

“Michael Mizerany, four-time winner of the LA Stage Scene Award for Outstanding Choreography, does not make any missteps in this show. His choreography is inspired, charming and very well-executed by the multi-talented cast.”

Spring Awakening
"Cygnet’s staging benefits from excellent, at times mesmerizing choreography by Michael Mizerany." Critic's Pick! James Hebert, UT San Diego.
The Big D
“However, Mizerany doesn’t make the choices seem simple. Rather, the writer uses Todd’s sickness to explore nuances and complexities of language, decisions and relationships.”

Thrill Me
“Notable in this production is the choreography of Michael Mizerany, who moves the actors across and around the small stage with the restless passion that must have resided in the dark souls of Leopold and Loeb."
Wally & His Lover Boys
“Wally & His Lover Boys has a Mel Brooks-ish, Keystone Cops kind of vibe throughout the play and hits the funny bone in the gayest of ways. Choreographer turned playwright and director Michael Mizerany did a phenomenal job at pulling all of this together and bringing it to life with wonderful casting. Full of raw humor that breaks into belly laughs, “Wally & His Lover Boys” tackles the issues of getting older in the gay dating scene with a lot of cheeky hilarity, and some bare cheeks.” Albert H. Fulcher, LGBTQ San Diego County News
