Amazing!! Never knew what it meant to have goosebumps from someone singing, but experienced it with mother superiors rendition of climb every mountain today❤️ At the Bushnell.

BROADWAY SHOW CALIBER

This is a musical that should not be missed. The performers are excellent, stage, costumes music and lighting were all excellent and would compete easily with any Broadway show Highly recommended. We went to the afternoon show. We are planning to go back for the evening show since some of the cast ma6 be different. 5 stars without any doubt. My only regret is they are not playing longer….I would have loved to bring my grandchildren to see this show!

These young actors did a fabulous job. We enjoyed every minute of this play. I loved everyone of the actors but I have to point out Briana Wilder put chills on my arms. Unbelievable voice. We will definitely be back to see more plays at Rise Above.

GOOD SHOW

The set was great. They did a great job changing the scenes in and out. Kids were great, did a great job with their parts and had great voices. I wasn't thrill with the casting of 'Maria'. Julie Andrews had such a sing song voice and the person cast as Maria seemed to have a flat voice. She knew her part and did it well but her voice was just not suited to play Maria. She had a beautiful singing voice. My favourite part was when The Mother Superior sang Climb Every Mountain - she was fabulous. Didn't like some of the songs in the second half - wish they would have stuck to the Sound of Music songs. Wish they had sang My Favourite Things during the storm scene and not Lonely Goatherd.

Wonderful performance! Mother Abbey was INCREDIBLE! Humor of uncle was perfect and Maria stole our ❤️!!! I would say the baroness was cast too old in my opinion !

OVERALL OUTSTANDING RENDITION OF THIS BELOVED SHOW

I saw this in Syracuse on opening night. The theater was packed and I was transfixed from note 1 to the end. I’m giving it 4 stars because of Maria. I agree with others - she wasn’t awful but she wasn’t right either. She was sprited but lacked depth. To be honest even the Baroness vin Schrader appeared to have more depth than Maria did, which was interesting and somewhat different from the movie. Maria’s voice was a bit nasal and flat. Nonetheless the remainder of the cast was so spectacular that they made up for it, and the lighting and set designs were breathtaking, especially the wedding scene. The feeling of actually being the audience for the von Trapp family singers at the festival was unique, moving, and startling, due to the backdrop. He orchestra was fabulous. I’m so, so glad that I went!
