See It Again

This show is beautiful and it reflects the times. As Hispanic, it was a story that really moved me. It was impressive to see how much the cast accomplished when knowing that only had about 3 weeks for rehearsals, and the fact that they have almost no props and they have no mics. Olivia, played by Ana Sofía had a beautiful voice, along with beautiful songs that made me and other people in the crowd cry. The little girl was also very sweet, annd the song ant the end when she grabs her phone to call for help was very emotional. The aunt had a great voice as well and had very nice duets. In general everyone was great. The pastor and his wife also did a very good job. I don’t know all the actors’ names, but they were all great. I would definitely recommend it, and congratulations to the cast and the production team.

Powerful and important story, powerfully told. Strong characters and compelling storyline. There were no microphones for the singers, and often it was hard to understand what they were saying. The show seemed a bit under-rehearsed, but still deeply moving.
