Maisie

Stratford Festival, Stratford, Ontario

“Cara Hunter as Maisie is a real find, and seemed always to be the heart of a terrific female foursome”
Geoff Chapman, Toronto Star

“Hunter, in her Stratford debut, is as bubbly as champagne as Maisie… Danny Austin and Cara Hunter, with their crackerjack dancing and excellent chemistry.”
Sunil Mahtani, For The Record

“[Cara Hunter] is blonde, oh-so-cute, and very quick, very precise. They are dynamite together.”
Terry Doran, Buffalo News

“…marvellous and sexy dancers, led by Danny Austin and Cara Hunter, who plays his flirty partner Maisie, are clearly in their element.”
Donal O’Connor, Beacon Herald

“Stunning performances, given by Cara Hunter as the perky Maisie.”
Darcel Kirvan, The Gazette

“And the dancing is irresistible. Cara Hunter as Maisie and Danny Austin as Bobby capture the audience’s heart early in the play with their athletic, frolicking Charleston number.”
Paul Ciufo, Goderich Community Paper

“Cara Hunter as Maisie and Danny Austin as Bobby dazzled the audience, leaving it breathless with their ‘Won’t You Charleston?’ number … Hunter also impresses with ‘Safety In Numbers’…”
Craig Bradford, Our Community Press

“Standouts in the cast include Cara Hunter as Maisie, whose charisma and dancing abilities dominated the stage during ‘Won’t You Charleston?’ and ‘Safety in Numbers’.”
Randy Cantera, Woodstock Daily Sentinel
