Anything Goes
Lord Evelyn Oakleigh
"Yet one more newcomer mined from the resources of Philly theatre by Director/Choreo[grapher] Dann Dunn was Connor McAndrews... In Act 2, he stole the show with laughs. [This reviewer] has seen this show eight times. He's the funniest."
- Greer Firestone, Middletown Transcript

"...I would be remiss to neglect Connor McAndrews as [Lord Evelyn] Oakleigh. Sure, the entire show is funny. But McAndrews is downright hysterical as the out-of-place, malapropism-laden Brit... It would be easy for this character to be taken over the top, but McAndrews plays him perfectly."
- Jason Thomas, Delaware Theater Spotlight
