ruthless Professor Callahan" (December 29, 2010); Iris Winston of the Capital Critics' Circle in Ottawa, Canada commented on "Kahlil Joseph as Professor Callahan (being a) strong counterpoint(s) in the female-dominated cast" (January 2, 2011); Sarah Cure of The Huntsville Times strongly commended Joseph: "Kahlil Joseph, who plays Callahan, does a superb job telling his students in song that they need to be "sharks" rather than chum" (January 9, 2011); Tracy Poindexter-Canton of The Spokesman-Review wrote that "Performances by other cast members worth mentioning include ... Kahlil Joseph's (Professor Callahan) debonair rendition of 'Blood in the Water'" (February 12, 2011); Ana Osorio of The Sound and Noise, a Canadian magazine, stated: "The acting was quite good as well. A particular scene that stood out was professor's Callahan first lecture, which actor Kahlil Joseph played convincingly, with the song 'Blood in the Water'— also one of the best songs in the musical." (March 3, 2011); John Jane of ReviewVancouver offered the following praise: "The oldest cast member Kahlil Joseph, who has the only serious role, is impressively pompous as the lofty, gung-ho law professor. His tongue-in-cheek delivery of Blood in the Water was sublime." (March 5, 2011); in a tougher review, T.D. Mobley-Martinez for MSNBC and Colorado Springs Gazette appreciated Joseph's work, writing: "High points: Kahlil Joseph's performance as the corrupt professor: On point and completely understandable." (March 10, 2011); William Kerns of Lubbock Avalanche-Journal observed how "Kahlil Joseph also provides an intimidating law school introduction by singing 'Blood in the Water'" (April 2, 2011); Lindsay Christians of The Capital Times likened Joseph's portrayal of Professor Callahan to a snake: "Kahlil Joseph practically slithers across the stage as Professor Callahan. His buttery baritone is a perfect match for the sinister 'Blood in the Water'.". Nanciann Cherry of the Toledo Blade felt that Joseph's performance was uncomfortably realistic, noting how "Joseph's Professor Callahan is almost too believable as a brilliant but ultimately sleazy attorney.". As Professor Callahan, Joseph was also extremely popular and requested frequently for interviews. He was interviewed as a special guest by the following TV and radio stations and newspapers: on television, Joseph spoke with – Mike Sobel of Global Television Network on February 24, 2011 in Edmonton, Canada; Lisa Colbert of Fox News Channel on September 29, 2010 on the Columbus section of the Good Day; Sean Lehosit of UWeekly on September 22, 2010; Tim Doty of WXMI in
