Jennifer Georgia — Theater Critic

The actors, some of whom were in the five-Tony-winning Broadway production, are all first-rate. Gabby Beredo (Delia), Darron Hayes (Martin), Skye Alyssa Friedman (Teresa), and Max Santopietro (Aaron) are charming and harmonize beautifully as the chorus of awkward, nerdy theater kids. Marcus Phillips strikes just the right notes of tender, nervous enthusiasm as Seth, Kimmy’s slightly-more-than-friend, the good boy who wonders if some good might come from being bad for once.

The acting and voices are all excellent, in all registers, from Binnicker (Tom Watson)’s oily baritone, to Tacconi (Brit Craig)’s frenzied tenor, to Knight (Newt Lee)’s rich, despairing bass, to Suskauer (Lucille Frank)’s lovely but strong mezzo. Ramone Nelson stands out as the amused, powerful, and evil Jim Conley.
