Absolutely brilliant!

A really impressive youth production! Laura helped out with costumes and MADE Belle’s ballroom gown in 2 days.  Isn’t it amazing?

A highly enjoyable show that is an all female cast (good to remember from a production mindset). People I Knew: Kieran, Summer, Jennifer.

A delightful production. By turns a gluttonous multimedia extravaganza and tantalizingly fictional tale based in Motown, Diana Ross and the Supremes. Phenomenal performances even from the third tier!

A delightful production of Cole Porter’s musical stone soup (nearly every song in the 1986 version that everyone does is from a different Cole Porter musical; the original Anything Goes is called the Beaumont version and is very rarely done), the kids of Laguna Beach High School do a fantastic job with a high school [...]

Absolutely hilarious! With some very poignant melodies and humbling harmonies (especially the Luther Vandross arrangement of O Come All Ye Faithful with the Alley Cats Litterbox Choir), The Alley Cats are in rare form as always (they ARE America’s premier doo-woo group), and Toby, Juan, Mando, and Royce have a great time singing (Let It [...]
