What critics are saying
“Better than Broadway!”The Star-Ledger
“It’s marvelous music to dance to, which spurred Jillian Petrie to provide excellent choreography. What she’s demanded of her cast isn’t easy. There are many quirky arm and leg motions to remember, yet the well-rehearsed troops recall every one of them.”Peter Filichia, The Star-Ledger
“You will enjoy the dance sequences that illuminate the story. With a lovely original score by Paul Morbach and clever choreography by Jillian Petrie, the performance troupe interfaces the show’s plot with an exquisite display that includes expressive movement, intricate lifts and acrobatics.”Broadway World
“The most impressive achievement of the [year’s] New Jersey theater season.”The Star-Ledger
“The choreography was joyous, fun and made great use of the whole stage, under the direction of Jillian Petrie, who was co-director of the production.”Janine M. Torsiello
