"I took my daughters & granddaughters to the 8/12-2:00 Saturday matinee. This is a must see for young & old. The talent & chemistry of Ella & Topher were delightful as well as their duets. Gabrielle duet with Ella also notable & ladies chorus with Charlotte ( step sister lament ) But Jessica Jacoby was amazing. Her poise & spot on vocals could land her leads on Broadway. Everyone in show was terrific and did a fabulous job making our afternoon a memory we will never forget !"
