Reviews - 

"My favorite moments in the theater – come when a show surprises me. 
So I was glad to be surprised – late in the Roundabout’s strong production of Athol Fugard’s THE ROAD TO MECCA – 
when such a moment arrived via Jim Dale’s masterful portrayal of the Reverend Marius Byleveld.  
He is, you see, saying good-bye to Miss Helen, when with the tiniest of gestures, Mr. Dale conveys.......  
ah, but that would be spoiling your surprise.
Fine actors are rare.  To watch three on the same stage is a privilege."
Timothy Childs

"The Pastor is wonderfully conceived by Dale in a part that has been played by the author himself. 
Dale's Pastor is clearly the villian here and he is played to the unctuous, fussy hilt, and yet he is hardly cartoonish. 
Dale almost steals the show - if it wasn't for Rosemary Harris up there, too, he'd sneak home with the play."
Mark Kennedy AP Drama Writer

"Mr. Dale’s Marius (a part first played in New York by Mr. Fugard) is more openly patronizing. 
 A first-rate stage veteran, Mr. Dale unerringly locates both the rigidity and the tremors in a resolutely pious man 
whose certainty comes under siege."
Ben Brantley N.Y. Times

"But Dale was a revelation to me, never having had the chance to see him onstage before. 
His Marius is crystal clear every step of the way. We're told he's a scheming man trying to oust Helen from her home. 
But when he arrives we find a reasonable, if mannered fellow who might just have her best interests at heart. 
Dale slowly reveals layers and layers to deepen our understanding of this man."
Michael Giltz, Huffington Post 

"Dale, also a great treasure of the theater, is deceivingly brilliant as Marius."
