Reviews & Articles
“The cast is full of the names of the brightest and best of Colorado vocalists.” — David Marlowe, Marlowe’s Musings
“When you get right down to it, every song in the revue was given a powerful treatment by everyone in the cast.” — Beki Pineda, GetBoulder.com
“When vivacious Anna High belts out Saved at Littleton’s Town Hall Arts Center, it is everything a black gospel number should be on the secular stage—both reverent and irreverent, with the sin of Saturday night meeting the histrionic penitence of Sunday morning. Besides High, the standout vocalist is Alejandro Roldan, whose street-corner lead on Youngblood is far more than stoop worthy. Likewise is Jacob Villareal’s Spanish Harlem.” — Peter Jones, The Villager
“We noticed that many in the audience were dancing out as the band kept playing and almost all wore a happy smile. If you’re seeking a theater experience with deep, dark messages, look elsewhere — but for a pleasing, carefree evening, visit Smokey Joe’s Café.” — Sonya Ellingboe, Littleton Independent
