"Throughout, director Steven Glaudini's glossy-toned ensemble displays reliable expertise, whether it's always-fine Shannon Warne as Warbucks' secretary, ever-stalwart Damon Kirsche tossing off his radio host or stellar canine Mikey's outstanding Sandy. Choreographer Roger Castellano maintains cleanly executed moves, while musical director Daniel Thomas elicits Broadway-level sounds all around." —David C. Nichols,
