Event Rating (4.0 Stars): It seems especially fitting that the first rock opera, created as a concept album at the end of the turbulent '60s, should have at its center a social and political rebel.

      Little did I realize what I was in for. I have never in my 66 years seen such a powerful performance!! I don't know where you found "Helen" but she could easily be on Broadway! From the moment she walked on stage she was Helen until the final curtain. She and "Annie" were perfect together. A wonderful cast. I hope you will get out some widespread advertising. ANYONE who enjoys theatre will be affected and most likely astounded at the performance of this cast and especially this little girl. Thanks for a wonderful portrayal of Helen Keller! Collapse
