"Cosgrove is ideally intense, likeable and understated as the well-balanced Paul, who is eventually able to free himself of a certain co-dependency with Harry."īy Jodie Jacobs on JChicago Theater and Arts New Musical ‘Darling Grenadine’ a Sobering Look at the Quest for Happiness "Observing their romance is Harry's longtime human pal Paul (a top-notch, nicely circumspect Nick Cosgrove), who runs the bar that Harry finances and where he plays piano." Marriott's 'Darling Grenadine' serves up bittersweet tale of addiction "The rich and well-defined characters in Harry’s orbit include Paul–a role in which Nick Cosgrove shines-whose family took in Harry and who Paul has treated like an older brother throughout his life."

While Saunders’ and Thomas’ roles get to indulge in occasional flights of fancy on stage, Cosgrove is tasked with the somewhat thankless job of portraying a character who must live firmly in the real world of consequences, which he does with exquisite depth and heart. "Nick Cosgrove’s Paul carries a large amount of the show’s pathos on his shoulders and believably grounds the narrative in reality.
