“Patrick Burns brings out all the comic mischief-making aspects of Cat in the Hat, but at times the Cat also faintly suggests the disillusioned, sinister side of the Emcee in “Cabaret.” The large orchestra, under the musical direction of Patrick Burns and conducted by Chris Coffey, gives supple support to the cast’s singing. I never had the feeling that the voices were overwhelmed.” -Neil Novelli, Syracuse.com
‘Burns [gives] us a slightly subversive Cat who takes the youthful audience into his confidence in his opening number, “Oh, the Thinks You Will Think.”’ –James MacKillop, Syracuse New Times
