"Andrea McArdle gets her name above the title in ANNIE, but other stars in this stellar cast also shine bright. Brian Michael Hoffman amuses as orphanage laundryman Bundles McCloskey and FDR’s foul-mouthed Secretary of the Interior Harold Ickes." |

"...but it was the smaller performances
that shone just as strongly, in particular Brian Michael Hoffman as the
irritable and resigned Sound Effects Man in the Bert Healy Radio Show
scene and then later as fuss-budget FDR cabinet member Harold Ickes who
is ordered to sing 'Tomorrow,' as well as ('Bundles,' the laundry man)
and as a member of the ensemble." |

"The 'Bert Healy' interlude (features)...a hilariously surly Sound
Man (Brian Michael Hoffman)." |

"(Another) standout performance (at Maine State Musical Theatre) from the multi-talented Brian Michael Hoffman in his many roles (of Bert Healy, Bundles and Harold Ickes).
"And yes, the dogs were show-stealing adorable. Broadway's Snickers (soon to be "Toto" in THE WIZ) gave us an all too short "aaawww" moment and Mikey (Sandy) was pull-at-your-heart brilliant! Kudos to trainer William Berloni and handler Brian Michael Hoffman!" |
