"A special mention is needed for an emerging talent, Matthew Brandon Hutchens, who has come up through the dancing chorus ranks of Broadway By The Bay to earn a supporting role in this production as Gerald Bolingbroke...He radiates a genuine love of performing in his dancing and acting that is reminiscent of an early Donald O'Connor. It simply lights up the stage."    

     "Matthew Brandon Hutchens, as the macho bridegroom Charlie Dalrymple, has matured from his enthusiastic teenage chorus dancing days to a level of acting and singing that, combined with his athletic dancing, lights up the stage whenever he appears. We may some day be saying, "We knew him when..."

     "As the popular hometown boy and Jean's bridegroom, Charlie Dalrymple, Hutchens displays outstanding song-and-dance chops. His crisp, natural-seeming highland footwork never lets us forget that good form is a point of pride. And the charm of Hutchens' singing earns Charlie's golden-boy status, especially in the rangy, dynamic love song "Come to Me, Bend to Me."
