| "SINGIN' on the stage is still a glorious feeling ... Even the signature number, the splashy first-act finale that is an iconic screen moment if ever there was one, here takes on a stage life all its own ... onstage weather is always exciting, especially when it's wet -- but it wouldn't be half as fun without Loehr's playful response to the puddles and splashes." |

NSMT’s production is so full of wonder, it’s a delight to share in it." |
