"If community theater is performance in it's purest form, one can't help but come away feeling reaffirmed after watching Argenta Community Theater's La Cage aux Folles. The lead role of Albin, played by Brandon Box-Higdem registers the insecurity of the aging performer...later, rejected by his partner, George, and the son he raised, Jean Michel, he storms on stage. 'I don't want praise, I don't want pity'" ~Knowles Adkisson, Arkansas Democrat Gazette-July 23, 2016
"But Anderson is not the only reason to see 'Mad About the Boy!' Higdem is perfection as the shy Pettibottom. You feel his angst and root for his success"~Julien Fielding, Omaha City Weekly- December 5, 2006
"Director Brandon Higdem has done a superb job with all these performers and the supporting players. Performed with no intermission might tax the bladder, but it never taxes the attention span of the audience. You'll be riveted. Reservations are HIGHLY recommended." ~Assassins, reviewed by Ron Ballard, Arkansas Times-July 17, 1998
"Best Musical 1998: Stephen Sondheim's "Assassins" at the Weekend Theater was a chilling, marvelous evening of theater. This was probably the most rewarding theatrical event of the year." ~ Ron Ballard, Arkansas Times Best of for 1998
"The sets are elaborate. The script calls for the kind of special effects that can be difficult. Strong singing voices are needed, even for the smallest parts, and director Brandon Higdem has assembled an impressive cast. Perhaps it's unfair to be surprised at how well Higdem has put this show together, the North Dakota native has staged a difficult show as well as any other area theater company could." ~ Into the Woods, reviewed by John Keenan, Omaha World Herald Staff Writer
"The production was technically accomplished. Director Brandon Higdem has put together a smooth, bright, good-looking show, no surprise to those familiar with his work." ~Clue: The Musical, reveiwed by John Keenan, Omaha World Herald Staff Writer.
"Directed by Brandon Higdem, who has a knack for big musicals. The director does a good job wrangling the 27 member cast. The highlight of State Fair was Higdem's body-slapping choreography and vocal treatment of "All I Owe IOWAY" ~State Fair, reviewed by Warren Franke, Non Pareil staff writer
"With guest director Brandon Box-Higdem's sure hand at the tiller and an onstage talent pool as big as the mighty Mississippi, Big River simply swept away Friday night's opening night audience at North Little Rock's Argenta Community Theater...Box-Higdem's staging, on a multi-level unitary set that represents various docksides and river venues is spot on." ~Big River, reviewed by Eric Harrison, ArkansasOnline
