==Stage career== |

One of Gonçalves' earliest professional stage appearances was in December 1996, when he was a member of the Waterloo Bridge Theatre Company. He appeared in two plays in one evening: [[Oscar Wilde]]'s ''[[The Importance of Being Earnest]]'' and [[Anton Chekhov]]'s ''[[The Bear (play)|The Bear]]''. In ''Earnest'', he played the roles of Merriman and Lane and in ''The Bear'', he played the role of Luka. His versatility was noted by John Attanas of the Off-Off Broadway Review (OOBR), who remarked, "... the most versatile actor of the evening was Paul Goncalves, who played three different servants over the course of both shows, and played them in the most distinctly different ways imaginable."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.oobr.com/top/volThree/six/OOBR-Earnest.html|title=Simplicity Itself|last=Attanas|first=John|date=December 12, 1996|website=Off-Off Broadway Review|publisher=The Off-Off Broadway Review|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/19990423024823/http://www.oobr.com:80/top/volThree/six/OOBR-Earnest.html|archive-date=December 27, 2018|dead-url=yes|accessdate=December 27, 2018}}</ref> |

Mark Marone of [[Billboard (magazine)|''Billboard'']] magazine said of Gonçalves' performance: |
|||
<blockquote>Gonçalves bears a striking resemblance to the legendary vocalist and presents a passionate performance of human frailty against the backdrop of a superstar who had it all. ... All the while, Gonçalves portrays Mercury's idiosyncratic stage moves and vocal nuances to great, campy effect.<ref>{{cite news|last=Marone|first=Mark|title=On Stage|url=http://www.billboard.com/search/?keyword=Goncalves&x=0&y=0#/archive/read?id=3gkEAAAAMBAJ&pg=frontcover&query=1997&date=1997-12-13|newspaper=Billboard|date=December 13, 1997|page=46 |accessdate=October 11, 2012}}</ref></blockquote> |
