        I am a recent graduate of the Boston Conservatory with a degree in Voice Performance. I was blown away by how the cast made this story come alive through the detailed character development, commitment to fabulous choreography and ABOVE ALL ELSE excellent singing. Best production that I have seen in a long time and I have friends in National Tours and on Broadway. I was moved to tears at several points and would recommend this show to ANYONE. Great work, can't wait to see it again! Collapse

        We very much enjoyed this production and walked out of the show wondering why it's not done more often. Compelling story, good singing, dancing and acting. Good vibes, all around. We recommend it... Expand
