Impressive vocals by Huck and Jim. I, too, saw this production on Broadway when Roger Miller was playing Mark Twain! I saw it twice out here with Deaf Theatre West, and was so impressed. This production was great, very innovative staging, well-acted and directed. Fabulous costumes.

This is the second Musical that we've seen here (Pajama Game was the first), and both were wonderful.

We are especially fond of Big River, a very moving show that we saw once before at the Deaf West Theatre, in an amazing version that was designed primarily for deaf people.

Your production was superb .... the voices were remarkable .... and the staging was terrific, particularly in those scenes in which Huck and Jim were navigating their raft on the Mississippi.

Great, young cast... great performance. Glendale Centre Theatre Productions never fail to entertain. Best value in theater.

I like the show, I like the music. This production was energetic and fun, but lagged a little and lacked some of the "heart" that this show is known for. I love the theatre, the costuming, choreography, etc. was great.
