Amazing Play
I really enjoyed the play! We saw it yesterday and loved it. Amber Riley did not perform in our show, but her under study did a fantastic job. I loved the character Jeremiah, he was talented and refreshing. Great seeing young artist. The singing and chorus was amazing. This show should be on Broadway. We'll done!!! ... Read more

Incredibly Entertaining
This was a fantastic show — with great acting, singing, stage direction, and music. My only note would be to get rid of the musical number between the mother and t he daughter — it wasn’t necessary to forward the story along and it was not that great of a number. It actually slowed the “angel reveal†when the story needed momentum. It also put the musical over the announced duration. I think it was over by 20 minutes on opening night when we saw it. Also would re-work the scene with the husband and the church deacons. The jokes didn’t land solidly. Otherwise, it was fantastic, and highly recommended. ... Read more
