Look right where you are for your joy!

Many Kudos to Shaun Evans!!

Everything about this show was amazing!! It far exceeded my expectations. Our seats were excellent. The singing was incredible. The acting was wonderful and the cast was the largest I've seen since Radio City Music Hall. It was a special treat to be able to interact with the high energy cast at the post performance reception.

We almost didn't go because of some of the negative Goldstar feedback. We went anyway, and all I can say is "Wow." We were expecting a children's production, but what we saw was a professional production with a lot of kids in it. We had a great time, and the show was excellent.

I saw "Meet Dave" just last week and was delighted to see one of the main characters from that movie on stage as Huckleberry Finn! He was wonderful, as was the rest of the cast.
