Matthew Hadgraft

Matthew’s interpretations of the songs are great. He has a talent for captivating a crowd and getting us to listen to him, which aids greatly in his mission of telling the story – Frooty Magazine
As the show’s titular character, Hadgraft was completely in his element as he wove through an ever-changing set and numerous costume changes, shaking off subtle hints of opening-night jitters along the way. High-energy numbers like “When I Get My Name in Lights”, “Bi-Coastal” and “Not the Boy Next Door” complimented his natural ability to nail intricate choreography, while tender, quieter moments during “I Honestly Love You” and “Love Don’t Need a Reason” showcased his committed, sincere vocal performance. – Jesse Oey
