We have enjoyed every Drayton performance we have attended. The talent is amazing! We have not been to all the venues, but all the ones we have are exceptional.

Another terrific performance! The cast was wonderful. Evita and Che gave great performances. The singing was phenomenal. Saw this in Toronto in the 80s so the story never grows old.

Just when I thought David Connolly couldn’t surprise or delight me more with his Incomparable brilliance as Director & Choreographer, he proved me wrong with Kinky Boots!!
I was blessed to have seen it at the Hamilton Family Theatre on opening night and closing matinee. I now understand why people have seen it multiple times! Because of this production, this has become my all-time favourite musical!
From the moment the curtain rose, I was captivated and hooked to the very last musical note and last surprise red streamer falling on me!
I would give this production Endless Stars because it was WOW and had something for everyone. It was a smorgasbord for the senses from the superb and talented cast and crew, to the gorgeous costumes, makeup on Jos and the Angels, set designs, and unforgettable musical score which I cannot stop listening to!
Everyone was brilliant in it, but for me, Jos N. Banks and Sayer Roberts’ chemistry and poignant acting did it for me! They were THE PERFECT Lola/Simon and Charlie.
Jos had a powerful and "larger than life" stage presence which took my breath away! I LOVED all the dance numbers especially with the Angels which were insanely fast-paced, flawlessly executed, and in all those fabulous heels, no less!!!
Thank you, Angels, for inspiring me to improve my daily exercise routine; I aim to be as fit as you and to achieve those killer legs! :o)
I LOVED seeing many of my favourite Drayton regulars like Jackie, Blythe, AJ, George, Trayvon, Alyssa, Cassel, Stephanie, and Andrew take on new roles and showcasing the endless talents they have as well as being introduced to new actors.
This production felt like attending a long-awaited family reunion and I am super thankful I was there for it!
Thank YOU, Alex, David, Gary Good, Drayton Entertainment staff and volunteers for always welcoming me with a smile and for sharing and spreading Love, Joy, Laughter, Heart, Powerful and Impactful messages, one play, one musical, at a time!
Keep doing what you are doing because… You are “The most beautiful thing in the world!!”
If you haven’t seen a Drayton show before, what are you waiting for? You will have THE time of your life and will come back again and again. Guaranteed.

As always, Drayton did not disappoint. Kinky Boots was cast well and the music was excellent. It was fun but he ad a serious message.

Our favourite Drayton theatre. Seats are large and comfie, and lots of handicap seating. Shows are excellent generally. I've run out of superlatives. We make it to a few performances every year. The musicals in particular are just outstanding. Highly recommended.
Today we attended Kinky Boots, just outstanding (which I've come to expect from Drayton). Great performance by a company who just clicked. Music by Cyndi Lauper, wow. The band was as awesome as was everyone else. Superlative.

A very good quality performance. I was not disappointed. I dragged my Dad (who hates everything) and even he said it was one of the BEST shows he’s ever seen. Success!
