"Anthony MacPherson wins us over as Peter Pan with a cheeky charm, a fine sense of physicality and a grin that would make you follow him anywhere."
The Toronto Star
"...the smaller roles in this show were made exceptional because of the performers: Jade Repeta as one of the protesters, has physical comedy down to a fine art as does Anthony MacPherson as the mayor, a dead ringer physically for comedian Martin Short."
The Record
"[Anthony] slots seamlessly into a lead role here... A solid triple threat, he sings, acts and dances his way through the part with energetic ease."
