- Simply terrific!…expertly staged, wonderfully performed (the band, too) and full of laughter, heart and life… Director-choreographer Susan Haefner has staged the show with energy, sensitivity and imagination... The ensemble of actors playing smart, self-aware, and socially inexperienced pre-teens is first rate. (The Hartford Courant)
