"I believe that Kris Stewart is undoubtedly one of the most skilled and disciplined director/producers in Australia (...) He is a leader in his field (...) I have been fortunate enough to work with him a number of times in Australia, and I am always impressed by his knowledge, his craft and the quality of his product (...) His work has taken him overseas, where his achievements have been recognised and supported, and I would recommend him at any time." KEN MACKENZIE FORBES, former head of the Victorian State Opera, producer of Chicago, Annie and The Wizard of Oz
