"Trick and Treat: Jason Schafer and Jim Fall's fun telling of what two very different people look for as they search for someone: a common thread. A fun, delightful movie to be enjoyed! Any movie that has Tori Spelling do a tap number like that gets my vote! And even a fleeting cameo by George Costacos on a screen is enough reason to enjoy any movie. I was most amused by Miss Coco Peru's "evil" moment and I truly believed Christian Campbell's performance -- not just because it's obvious that he would fall for John Paul Pitoc's inescapable good looks. But because the trick is to trick the cynics that true love can be found even in the most unlikely of cities, matches and circumstance. By the time we get to sunrise in "Trick," it's bright and clear that love can be found and it's no trick at all."

"...Brought "The Other Kind" to life with a performance-level narration in the jam-packed hall, by summoning the memory of familiar, everyday moments, the kind someone passes by without recognizing their specialness. It is exactly this essence of homogeneous community everyday life, its fermentation with the wider status quo of the city, that the author attempted to express in writing, within the boundaries of an elegant publication."

"The book was presented with theatrical rendition... It was truly a unique moment... I must admit I was greatly surprised by the fact that so many people had attended --to the point that the auditorium was flooded beyond any point of capacity-- to watch a literary event."

"A hit."

"George (whom you may have caught as a guest during broadcasts of 'The Greek Americans') offers 'Greek Gifts' -- rare tangos, serenades and stories."

"George commands the audience to erase its surroundings; to forget the present and revisit an Athenian home that no longer exists (from an era that seems almost mythological to us today). A nostalgic mood through recollections of home cooked meals, cobblestone streets and warm air scented from the neighborhood lemon trees. The English translations of the Greek lyrics (by Best) are charming and witty, capturing the essence of the originals. They sound as if they were meant to be sung in English. As a performer, (he) captures the theatricality of the tunes, conveying them with a verve. (He) paints a larger than life portrait. This is a journey of the imagination."

"The exceptionally successful musical, Greek Gifts is the story of a youth who returns to search for the house he grew up in an unrecognizable Athens."

"If heart and honesty count, George will make his mark. He certainly has both… very engaging, with a heartfelt passion… very affable, with a warm baritone voice… gentle phrasing… an intelligent mix of fun and pathos… a Gypsy-like sound that was poignant."

"One of the best actors. An astonishing work. A success."

"George takes you on a journey in his show Greek Gifts. It tells the story of a journey to a new world... in search of an old treasure. The show is a tribute to the glorious music sung to a child by his mother."

"The language of seduction. I urge you to check it out (if you can get a reservation) All the songs are delightful! The show is bright and colorful… holds your interest from start to encore. Indeed an unusual evening… the closest I got to Greece… This multi-talented lad is bound to seduce you with his charm, wit and great vocals… One gifted Greek! A fantastic entertainer! Absolutely intoxicating!"

"Athens-born and Astoria-raised singer George Costacos seems to have been in just about everything... and starred in his own musical play, "Greek Gifts.""

"George's one-man show, Greek Gifts, introduced New York audiences to Athens of yore - cobble stone streets, taverna serenades, and the smell of home cooked meals scented with the aromas of the neighborhood lemon trees. George's nostalgic evening of monologue and song presents a long-lost cache of Athenian tangos and serenades."

"Greek color that stands apart."

"This week see George Costacos from the critically acclaimed musical Greek Gifts."

"Not a long time passed, and the 'Incomparable Performer' was compared to a legendary figure in the hellenic artistic firmament: that with his musical play 'Greek Gifts' he transformed the New York stage into old Athens, the way Melina Merkouri had transformed it into the port of Piraeus."

"Greek Gifts, George's new collection of rare tangos and serenades
recalling a bygone age of innocence."

"George's critically acclaimed musical Greek Gifts premiered and was recorded with musical direction by Seth Weinstein."

"Original, evocative and graceful. When he describes the Athens of his childhood you can almost feel the sun and smell the lemons on the tree. (He) has a mischievous quality which serves to lighten the mood, especially since he's is a highly focused dramatic performer. He inhabits the lyrics to a startling degree, to the point where each flirtatious glance, angry move, or lustful expression, seems to be directed individually to each member of the audience. Its straightforward sincerity makes Greek Gifts, and its creator, very easy to like."

"Unanimous, impeccable reviews. A genuine child of the theater, creator and performer, he managed to make a bang in the demanding Broadway musical, even when using as his inspiration old Athenian songs he heard from his mother and his aunts. One of (his) great successes, Greek Gifts, turned the stage into old Athens the way (Melina) Merkouri once turned it into the port of Piraeus."

"The first dramatic musical he wrote made headlines before it even went onstage. A ballad from the play titled 'The Garden,' was included in a musical collection with the biggest creators of musical theater. The CD was nominated for a MAC award and its worldwide sales benefit the Barbara Manuel Memorial Fund for Musical Theatre."

"George Costacos (billed here as George Best) contributed 'The Garden' on the compilation. (A) sweet haunting melody contrasting a dark lyric."

"He was the only actor chosen by PBS to appear live in New York during the broadcast of the documentary 'The Greek Americans.' His arrival for the event entered him once more in the exclusive publication Celebrity Bulletin, which has defined who is who since 1938."

"Celebrity Bulletin inducted Costacos as PBS proposed him to join the live premiere presentation of the documentary The Greek Americans."

"Athens-born and Astoria-raised singer George Costacos seems to have been in just about everything... He's been featured in PBS' "The Greek Americans"."

"George was invited twice live on PBS for The Greek Americans."

"Costacos had the lead in The Emigrants in New York, and was the only actor selected by pan-american network PBS to co-host the broadcasts of the famous documentary The Greek Americans."

Cultural Correspondent to the United Nations

"Before they met, and while Dukakis was already shining around the globe, Costacos was starring in New York in the 'Emigrants' and was the only actor picked by the national American network PBS to co-present live the broadcasts of the famous documentary 'The Greek Americans' -- where a large dedication was made to the important path of Dukakis. The event listed them together in the exclusive publication Celebrity Bulletin, which determines the brightest names in showbiz since 1938."

The tour-de-force of
"An Incomparable Performer."

"I still recall (Best's) performance, I still haven't gotten over the effect."

"(Best's) starring role."

"The Greek Cultural Center decided to mount the difficult political psychological drama The Emigrants for their 25th Anniversary under the condition that Costacos would accept to star, as announced by the pioneer of Greek theater in New York, Anna Giannetakis.

Costacos did it 'only for Anna,' giving an unforgettable performance that sent shockwaves to audiences and earned him the title of Incomparable Performer. His superhuman portrayal remains something which all those who saw him talk about even today. Not only because in a dangerous move he fractured his hand and despite the unbearable pain continued until the end (in the following performances he made the surgical cast part of his costume)..."

"A big success."

"Powerful drama."

"Compelling drama."

"Captivating drama."

"He has proven his talent through successful performances
such as - among others - The Emigrants."
