“…The Music Man that opened last night at the Stratford Shakespeare Festival is so joyous, skilful, professional and perfect… the joy of the kind of all-star company you can only get at Stratford… W. Joseph Matheson is an eminently hissable villain…”
– Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star
“ …a first-rate cast… a big-hearted production that moves with a silken efficiency… – The Ottawa Citizen

“Yes, the Music Man is very entertaining. It’s also intelligent and moving. Who says musicals can’t be all three at the same time?”

– J. Kelly Nestruck, Toronto Globe and Mail
“Stratford has delivered a production of distinction.”
– Noah Millman, The American Scene
