Great dinner at Byrd & Baldwin before the show. Chrysler venue: unfortunate setup of restrooms (men one side; women other) with the lobby not being big enough. No middle aisle so lots of stepping over people. But good sight lines, acoustics and leg room. Show: fantastic. Maria was a talented singer and Mother Abbess was exceptional. Set, lighting, sound and stage movement great. Orchestra was great and the cast meshed well with the musicians. The cast matched my vision after watching the movie so many times. The kids were great. They could have left out the 2 new songs to shorten it. The love between the 16/17 yea- olds was not developed. The end of the singing contest and the final scene were awkward but I can't put my finger on why. I was emotionally moved during the performance and I enthusiastically stood with others for the final ovation.

These young actors did a fabulous job. We enjoyed every minute of this play. I loved everyone of the actors but I have to point out Briana Wilder put chills on my arms. Unbelievable voice. We will definitely be back to see more plays at Rise Above.

This is a musical that should not be missed. The performers are excellent, stage, costumes music and lighting were all excellent and would compete easily with any Broadway show Highly recommended. We went to the afternoon show. We are planning to go back for the evening show since some of the cast ma6 be different. 5 stars without any doubt. My only regret is they are not playing longer….I would have loved to bring my grandchildren to see this show!

The music was so phenomenal my entire group got teary eyed. Everything was spectacular, first class all the way!

Amazing!! Never knew what it meant to have goosebumps from someone singing, but experienced it with mother superiors rendition of climb every mountain today❤️ At the Bushnell.

Very entertaining and the cast exceeded my expectations. The children were very talented and enjoyable to watch. The sets are impressive for an off Broadway production.
