“The music sounded heavenly from the four-piece on-stage band led by pianist/conductor/musical director Jennifer Lin. The choral work from the ensemble was lovely. ”
“[The ensemble goes] from tween to adult and back as terrifically as they are tireless, and like their fellow castmates vocalize to perfection under Jennifer Lin’s expert musical direction and orchestral baton.”
“Though the guitars are present almost all throughout the production, Lin’s keyboard provides the emotional discrepancy that keeps the musical from sounding purely like a rock concert.”
“...the band, led by musical director Jennifer Lin, makes as powerful a statement as the characters. There are only four of them - Lin on keys, Johanna Chase on bass, Carlos Flores on guitar and Nicole Marcus on drums but they sound like they’re opening up the gates of hell.”
“...the entire cast sparkles throughout — figuratively and literally — and the live band perched above the stage is fabulous.”
