2014

“I suppose it was at the moment when Friday night’s Popejoy Hall audience gave a standing ovation to the cast of the touring company of MY FAIR LADY that I awoke from the dream. I dreamt I was in a Broadway theater watching a re-imagined production of this venerable musical. What a terrific show, with fresh interpretations of story, music, dancing, costumes, sets & lighting.”
– Albuquerque Journal

“The touring production of MY FAIR LADY follows tradition with beautiful sets, gorgeous costumes, a chorus with a tight sound and a strong cast. Two of the leads, Aurora Florence (Eliza) and Daniel Cardenas (Freddy), are fresh out of college. Based on performance alone, they seem more fit for Broadway, with Florence’s clear, clean voice and Cardenas’ romantic tenor voice.”
– Fresno Bee

– The Dallas Morning News

2013-2014

“As you’d expect, [BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL] features unbelievable displays of acrobatics and gymnastic abilities, including but not limited to young girls being flipped high in the air. But it also proves to be a surprisingly well-crafted, highly enjoyable, feel-good musical with appealing characters, catching R&B and rap songs, fierce hi-hop choreography (by Andy Blankenbueler) and very funny dialogue packed with social media jokes.”
– AM New York

– Grand Rapids Press

“Inspirational! GROOVALOO explodes laws of physics”
– Los Angeles Times

“Highly contagious Freestyle dancing”
– LA Weekly

2008-2009

“The joint was jumpin’ last night at the Strand Theatre, with a loud, bold, brassy staging of AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’, the Fats Waller revue, on its 30th anniversary tour. “American Idol” season 2 winner Ruben Studdard stomped and crooned on the renovated stage.”
– Boston Globe

“AIN’T MISBEHAVIN’ sparkles so brightly and so vividly that you would think you had just seen a full-blown musical.”
– Albuquerque Journal

– Springfield News-Leader

2004

2004-2006

“TOMMY, the stunning new stage adaption of the 1969 rock opera by the British group The Who is at long last the authentic rock musical that has eluded Broadway for two generations. A collaboration of its original principal actor, Pete Townshend, and the director, Des McAnuff, this show is not merely an entertainment juggernaut, riding at full tilt on the visual and musical highs of its legendary pinball iconography and irresistible tunes, but also a surprisingly moving resuscitation of the disturbing passions that made TOMMY an emblem of its era..”
– The New York Times

2002-2006

“…a young, vocally proficient cast, a terrific Engineer and a truly striking new design concept. This looks like a big profit center for Big League and presenters.”
– Variety

“Employing computerized effects and high-tech video imaging, the huge, clear and three dimensional appearing projected helicopter far exceeds the impact of the heavy, laughably overhyped, truncated contraption seen in the original Broadway production. Lemsky’s extraordinarily fine production miraculously prevailed.”
– TalkinBroadway

“MISS SAIGON fills the eye and melts the heart.”
– Edmonton Sun

2005-2006

“The spectacle, making its North American tour debut here, is an exuberant 15-number show that doesn’t falter while bridging the categories of classical, blues, jazz, rock n roll, and techno-pop music. BLAST stands, blows, pounds, marches, and whirls with panache. It sent what seemed to be a full house into repeated bursts of cheering and applause. The thrill of seeing sheer virtuosity in a different kind of art form. It is entertainment of a high order.”
– Boston Globe

“BLAST ultimately leaves its audience begging for more.”
– Post-Dispatch

2001-2004

“THE MUSIC MAN that opened here last night is infinitely better than the one that premiered on Broadway in 2000. It’s better staged, better sung, better acted and comparably danced. It is certainly better housed in Boston; the multiple sets that make up River City, Iowa, fit the Colonial Theatre like a glove.”
– Boston Globe

“Not only does [THE MUSIC MAN] sparkle with a youthful and talented cast – whose big voices, distinctive characterizations and splendid dancing are ideally suited to this re-envisioned but unquestionably old-fashioned musical – but its richly layered scenery and sumptuous costumes are top-drawer.”
– Chicago Sun-Times

2001-2002

“One of the most majestic musical scores ever written for a Broadway stage by Maury Yeston.”

“The intimate attachment to the characters is one of the TITANIC’s unique artistic achievements.”

2000-2002

2000

“Broadway-bright, full of vivid and appealing young performers…High voltage energy onstage.”
– Cleveland Plain Dealer

“I was a fan of the movie and its killer soundtrack…But I love the high-energy musical even more. From the moment the cast took the multi-colored stage to the strains of FOOTLOOSE, I was mesmerized.”
– The Chronicle-Telegram
