“Michael Hughes sings like Judy Garland but smoulders like Gene Kelly” -FAB Magazine
“A fun and funny autobiographical act, with a thoughtful core. With disarming energy and a wide-eyed innocent eager-beaver look that can flip into a winking cat-that-swallowed-the-canary mischievous grin, Michael Hughes joyfully bounds onto the stage and jumps into his life story about his obsession with Broadway and movie musicals…thoroughly delightful and entertaining. The show is heartfelt, especially in the Gershwins’ “But Not for Me”…a true pleasure. Michael Hughes has charisma and energy and is unstoppable!” -Talkin’ Broadway
