"The ensemble brims with local talent, including... Matthew Mastronardi doing yeoman's service as both actor and musical director... The most compelling moments come when the company makes music...(Mastronardi plays a mean cello.)"
-Cameron Kelsall, The Inquirer
"Mastronardi also plays piano for the ensemble throughout the production and easily segues from the keys to delve deep into his other characters... Highlights of the show include...'He's Gone Away'... lovingly song by [Laura] Giknis and Mastronardi, who brought chills and tears to this listener."
-Suzanne Cloud, Broad Street Review
"There are a few other stand outs...Matthew Mastronardi is endearing and funny in the role of Boy's bumbling friend, Ted."
-Rebecca Rendell, Talkin' Broadway
"Both Raphaely and Mastronadi are comical and add a good deal of humor to the show."
-Kelli Curtin, Theatre Sensation
"The supporting cast adds immeasurably to the fun, with Davy Raphaely and Matthew Mastronardi as the endearing orphan boys..."
-Debra Miller, Phindie
"Matthew Mastronardi adds a high-spiritedness to the show, and he is a master at playing the piano."
-Kelli Curtin, Theatre Sensation
"Most impressive are the ensemble members of this production, Aaron Cromie, Scott Greer, Maggie Lakes, Matthew Mastronardi, and Amanda Jill Robinson, who not only sing in parts (harmonies) but also play various musical instruments.
-Celeste Mann, DC Metro Theater Arts
