"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
This production, directed by Michael Licthefeld, was the first time a professional theatre company in Canada had staged Thoroughly Modern Millie, and I was thrilled to be cast as Trevor Graydon. The show played the intimate 398-seat St. Jacobs Playhouse, which operates year-round in the Kitchener-Waterloo region, and was an instant hit.
