"Don Quixote's adoring servant and companion, Sancho Panza, is played as a gentle soul by Brian Michael Hoffman with perfectly understated and well-timed humor as well as his finding the truth in dramatic scenes. And when Sancho is accused of blindly following Quixote by Aldonza, he so sweetly sings "I Really Like Him," that the audience spontaneously responds with such thundering applause to express it really likes Mr. Hoffman's characterization as well." - Don Church, World News "The comic side of the show is handled splendidly by Brian Michael Hoffman as Sancho. He has a strong tenor voice which he uses in the opening number with David Pittsinger, the hilarious "I Really Like Him" where he tells Aldonza why he follows his master and "A Little Gossip" where he tries to help Alonso remember he's Quixote. Brian not only sells his songs but also leaves you in stitches with his one liners due to his comic mannerisms, line delivery and facial expressions. The poignant last scene and the tenderness of the three leads garners the empathy of the whole audience. This topnotch cast is rewarded with a standing ovation and many tears along the journey by show's end." - Tony Annicone, The Theater Mirror "Brian Michael Hoffman makes for an ideal Sancho Panza, putting over his big numbers, particularly "I Really Like Him," excellently; his performance is quite endearing and appropriately comical." - Zander Opper, Talkin' Broadway "As the loyal but put-upon squire Sancho Panza, Brian Michael Hoffman is a comic delight with his upbeat optimism and an endless supply of maxims! I have not seen a better cast and staging of this classic save possibly the original Tony-winning Broadway production. If any show this season deserves a "must-see" rating, it is this one." - The Clinton Patch "Brian Michael Hoffman as his manservant, Sancho Panza, while at first coming across as more a fool, quickly demonstrates he is a man not to be trifled with. His love, admiration, and genuine caring for his master rings true." - Stuart Brown, On Broadway CT "Brian Michael Hoffman, who infuses his Sancho Panza with a delightful guilelessness, brings his vocal and comic chops to the lighthearted "I Really Like Him" and "A Little Gossip." - Kristina Dorsey, The Day "Quixote also needs his Sancho Panza, and Brian Michael Hoffman quickly eases into his character and delivers a delightful "A Little Gossip" to try and cheer up his companion." - Geary Danihy, Connecticut Critics Circle
