Babes in Toyland (co-production with Stamford Center for the Arts)

 


Yours, Anne

 Yours, Anne

“Stunning, compelling and not to be missed. Director Kevin Connors never falters in his vision. He has made the right choice of piece and obviously felt that the story deserved to be told and could be told effectively.”
- Irene Backalenick, Westport News

“Because of the total professionalism of the eight-character cast and director Kevin Connors, YOURS, ANNE rises above the subject matter to emerge as a memorable evening of theatre.”
- Susan Granger, WICC Radio

“YOURS, ANNE is unforgettable. This is one of the best shows of the Connecticut theatre season.”
- Joanne Greco Rochman, The Weston Voice

 

Prime Time Prophet
(MTC MainStage prior to Off-Broadway)

"Mr. Connors has a long history of directing Las Vegas revues - a genre that fits PRIME TIME PROPHET as snugly as a skin-tight fake-leopard bikini."
- Stephen Holden, The New York Times

"The humor in PRIME TIME PROPHET is clever and sophisticated with music, lyrics and direction by Kevin Connors. Hilarious one-liners run rampant, music is lively and fun, and there's some great choreography."
- Laurie Lawson, Punch In International Syndicate

"PRIME TIME PROPHET put the fun back in fundamentalism!"
- John Sarna, New York Law Journal

The Fantasticks


A Little Night Music

 

Baby
(Co-production with Polka Dot Playhouse)

“Beautifully staged by director Kevin Connors on the Playhouses’ small stage, he gives the show the intimacy the story demands without sacrificing inventiveness.”
- Gloria Cole Sugarman, Connecticut Post

“Directed with a distinctive and romantic flair by Kevin Connors, this production delivers a hefty bundle of joy.”
- Joanne Greco Rochman, Hometown Newspapers

“Cheers to Kevin Connors, Artistic Director of Music Theatre of Connecticut, for the direction of BABY!”
- Fran Sikorski, Acorn Press

“Under the contrapuntal direction of Kevin Connors, the tuner proves to be pleasant entertainment.”
- David Rosenberg, Backstage
