Music was good. The dancing wasn't as good as I would have expected.
I was very impressed with the level of talent...hard to believe they were just kids!! The singing, dancing and acting was amazing!! A triple threat! The full package...well done!
I thought that this musical would be great for my 11 year old grandaughter and I might not be that into it . WRONG!! The music and acting was superb and I was sorry when it was over. We both loved it. I try to make a special memory with her every summer and this was it! A great performance!
This was an excellent show. The characters were well casted and the singing was amazing. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
The music was awesome...the singing at times was a little off and the background music was a bit too loud at times but the overall performance was amazing. The choreography was stunning and the kids did a over the top job. Idid recommend it to some other people who already went...thanks
My daughter, granddaughter, sister and I attended. We all thoroughly enjoyed it! Time went too quicklly- didnt want it to end ! We all shared the same opinion,fabulous cast,singers, dancers, very high energy and you could tell they were enjoyed as much as we were.
We have been to many productions and unfortunately this is one of our least favorite. While we can appreciate the work that went into such a production, it lacked in its entertainment. With exception of the lead actors, the remaining actors affected the overall quality of the show.
Had a good time with my 6 year old daughter. The actors did a great job. The production flowed nicely. There were some times where the sound was too loud. There were also some times where it was hard to hear the words beacuse the mic was not loud enough or the music was too loud.
We sat in row F 1,2,3 and found it much too loud. The 80yr.old had a bad head ack before the show was over. High energy to the show. The kids looked like (most of them) they were really having fun.
IT WAS GREAT. I TOOK MY DAUGHTER, HER FIRST LIVE SHOW. HER MOUTH DROPPED OPEN, HER FAVOURITES WERE THERE AT THE END OF THE SHOW AND SHE EVEN GOT THEIR AUTOGRAPHS!!! FAB JOB EVERYONE. SHE COULD HAVE GONE AGAIN AND AGAIN SHE TOLD ME, AND SHE IS ONLY FIVE. I ALSO ENJOYED IT. I THINK THE ACTORS WERE GREAT.
we had a great time at this show. i brought my 4 year old daugher who loves HSM so she knew all of the songs and the story. she was dissapointed that taylor didn't look like taylor in the movie, but other than that she was very happy with the show and sat still singing along for the whole night. i thought it was an excellent production and an excellent cast that seemed to have lots of chemistry and be having a great time up there. i thought 'chad' stole the show.
High Energy, talent, WOW entertainment! I want to see it again.
A most enjoyable evening out. There was so much energy on stage, it was so good to see. The young people were awesome . !
The talent of the young actors/actresses were great. My two young nieces really enjoyed it as well.
Absolutely fantastic! I was amazed how similar in appearance the actors looked to the superstar HSM characters. The singing was spot on and the acting was at its best. It was worth the 3hr drive each way to the event.
We went to the matinee and it was great. Troy (Adam Charles) was excellent. After the show the kids got to meet the main characters which made their day.
What a great way to spend an evening! We took our neighbours girls (ages 14 and 10) who are HSM fans and we all loved it! The singing was really good, there was a lot of energy and the entire show was really well done! We highly recommend it! The only negative comment I would have is that the theater staff enjoy saying no - we were jumped on right away for trying to carry a half empty bottled water into the building (no problem, but kindness would have been appreciated), then bought treats for the kids only to be told they couldn't take them into the show, then one of the kids had to use the ladies room during the show and was not allowed to return to her seat. She was told to sit at the back and then the staff told her to slouch down in her seat because she was too tall. All the rules were irritating. but that would not stop us from recommending the show itself.
For a local production, this was ok. The songs are catchy, but the sound quality was hit and miss all evening. The dancing was fantastic, though, and we enjoyed that. Just wish that whoever was controlling the sound had clued in faster with when to turn on/up which actor's mic! The kids enjoyed the show, although it was an awfully long time for them to sit (1 hour per act, 2 acts).
We had not seen the movie or knew the jist of the story - they all did a fabulous job! they brought real high schol to life!
I thought HSM was very good, I had a great time watching it!
