"Opulent scenic design by Martin Flynn and breathtaking costumes by Mary Folino highlight an all-star cast led by Kathryn Brunner as Ella and Brent Thiessen as Prince Topher. Brunner’s kind and gentle demeanor belie powerhouse vocals and complement Thiessen’s charming naivete and earnest desire to do good."
"This beautiful production not only delights in nostalgia, it also breathes progress and power. It’s an uplifting, hopeful, and magical lesson in kindness, compassion, and perseverance."

Notes
Man Of La Mancha was the first experience I had performing on a raked stage and was another chance to collaborate with Alex Mustakas - this time as fellow actors. I had played darker characters before, but this role gave me an opportunity to play someone who was a really terrible guy. I learned a lot.

"This is probably one of the best ensembles presented by Drayton Entertainment. Each member of the cast is a star in his or her own right. The singing, with expert harmonies, fills the theatre. This is also a very physical show with compelling fight scenes."
"The story of the Man of La Mancha is one of dreaming and then achieving the impossible dream. The production now on stage at the Hamilton Family Theatre in Cambridge is indeed a story of achievement. Man of La Mancha has withstood the test of time, as relevant today, as it was when it was first presented on Broadway in 1965. The message regarding the treatment of women needs to be heard now more than ever."
