CHEERS: There were some amazing singing and very good acting (especially the Huckleberry who was an understudy). Jim was incredible. Sean Evans has a voice that gives you goose bumps just like in Ragtime which I saw from this group at this theater last year. I would love to see him in professional shows instead of just youth shows though. The lady that played the female servant stole the show for me. THIS WOMAN CAN SING! I will go see anything I see her name in, no matter what it is.

JEERS: The music was a little uneven. The second act was too long.

All in all, it was a really good show. This is the third show I've seen from this group and I am never disappointed. They're the best youth group in town by far (and I've seen them all).

Big River was overall an adequate production, especially considering that this was a junior theater production. While there were some good to very good singers,some of the singers were not able to do justice to the songs.
