Kind Words
“Matthew is a supremely gifted actor, singer, and dancer; he has a luminous stage presence, a keen intelligence and work ethic, a gorgeous and expressive voice, fierce energy and commitment, and the rare ability to make an immediate connection with an audience; to make them willing — no, eager — to follow him through his journey. I have great memories of the work we did together, and I hope there will be more in the future!”

“…McFarland’s Baker is pitched perfectly. [He] is a steady and confident force throughout, at his best during the Baker’s touching final song, making the audience’s hearts break for him.”
