“Those gang members who not only danced and sang but acted supported the leads nicely. Of special note were Anybodys (Madison Hertel), Doc (Wynn Harmon) and Lt. Schrank (Zachary Owen), who got my vote as the scariest character of all.”

“As great as all of that is, the cast is even better, from top to bottom. All of the gang members are high energy and intense, each excellent at gelling as a unit while creating individual characters. Standouts include Arcadian Broad (Baby John), Brendan Yeates (Diesel), Madison Hertel (Anybodys) and Emily Snouffer (Graziella).”

“Joyous abandon marks Medium Alison’s I’m Changing My Major to Joan as she has her first sexual encounter with a woman at Oberlin. Upbeat, soaring, comic yet poignant, the song is a delight in the hands of Hertel, who supplies a radiant energy to her characterization.”
