"The fun and frenzied world of live radio broadcasts is humorously brought to life in Walton Jones' The 1940's Radio Hour. While there isn't much of a plot in the show, there are plenty of lovable characters and an abundance of classic tunes that infuse the show with a charming sense of nostalgia. Don Bluth Front Row Theatre's production features spirited direction and a fun cast who inject comedy and joy into this show....features a large group of characters, and director Gary Caswell has assembled a talented cast who deliver winning performances. While a few of the singing voices are just OK, which is the only downside I see in this production, everyone creates unique characters and they form a tight ensemble with their fellow castmates. Caswell's direction creates a fun and frantic environment and also ensures the cast remain true to the style of the 1940s in their characterizations, which beautifully evokes the nostalgic charm of the period....While the plot of The 1940's Radio Hour may be slight, there isn't a shortage of music, comedy and joy in Don Bluth Front Row Theatre's charming and winning, period-perfect production that lovingly takes you back to the bygone days of the '40s.........
