Spring Awakening in Cincinnati: Reviews and Announcements

We're lovin' Cincy so far! The cast has been in rehearsals with our wonderful music director, Kim Grigsby, and on our second night, the band members of 98 Degrees came to see our show! Remember the band, 98 Degrees, with Nick and Drew Lachey, et all? The Cincy residents are used to seeing them around town since they live here, but for us, it was an awesome treat!

REVIEWS

Not only do we love Cincy, but Cincy loves us! We got rave reviews!! Tell everyone to come!

CINCINNATI ENQUIRER: "A terrific Spring Awakening. Outstanding ensemble - some of them still in college, almost everybody in their first Broadway tour. Being a part of this kind of euphoria is part of why live theater can give you a high."

The show was absolutely beautiful in Cincinnati! I drove from Indiana to come see it and it was completely worth it. The show was everything I wanted it to be and more. Thank you for putting on a fantastic show and going above and beyond all of my expectations!
