‘Lewis Cornay has the expressively elfin looks of a young Eddie Redmayne and the talent to match.’- The History Boys, The Guardian 

‘Lewis Cornay’s relentlessly optimistic SpongeBob dominates the show. His voice is a wonder… A star in Cornay’- The SpongeBob Musical, The Stage

‘Lewis Cornay as Posner is certainly one to watch, with a gorgeous singing voice and total command of the audience.’- The History Boys, Broadway World

‘In an exceptional performance, Cornay easily differentiates his two characters, on top of playing them at various ages. The combined fire-power of Tucker and Cornay alone make John & Jen worth the ticket price.’- John & Jen, Theatre Weekly 

‘Lewis Cornay is a delight. The extended opening night applause after “(Not a) Simple Sponge” is completely warranted; Cornay’s belting, wide-ranging voice is excellent.’- The SpongeBob Musical, The Independent 

‘Cornay is the clear star of the show as Posner. He brings real wit and pathos to the part, soulful eyes staring entreatingly out at the audience.’- The History Boys, Plays to see 

‘A tour-de-force performance with impeccable comic timing.  There really was nothing simple about his performance here – in fact, it was rather miraculous’.- The SpongeBob Musical, All That Dazzles

‘Lewis Cornays voice reveals astonishing depths’- The SpongeBob Musical, Time Out
