Incredibly well done performance!
"To say that this cast was incredibly talented would be a complete understatement. These actors all had beautiful voices with captivating stage presence and top-notch acting talent. They all felt like real people that we watched their lives unfold. This play was beautifully written and was a lovely tribute to the movie. Even though I knew how the plot ends, the cast was so captivating that I was still moved emotionally and crying for them. It is an amazing story about lifelong friendships through love, fights, and loss. In addition, I originally purchased tickets in the rear mezzanine, yet when we arrived, our seats were upgraded to the third row of the orchestra! This made our experience even more magical. I would recommend this play to anyone who is empathetic and enjoys truly heartfelt stories. I wish I could rate it more than 5 stars!"
