SEVEN ANGELS THEATRE
“…chock full of fabulous rafter-raising musical numbers with non-stop, high energy dancing performed by an "inspiring" cast of five talented young men that light up the stage.”
-By Nancy Sasso Janis, Patch Mayor
"Hay’s choreography in particular is so over the top and goofy it had me in tears laughing."
"But with the fantastic quality of Hay’s production and the superb performance of the five core cast members, it becomes a thoroughly entertaining night of theater."
-By Tim Leininger, Journal Inquirer
