"The musical 13 did not have a long Broadway run, but it has become a staple of youth theatres across the country. I've now seen three productions of the show in the past few years and love not only how it touches upon such issues as the need to fit in and the power of friendship but also that it is a musical that allows younger performers the ability to shine on stage. With talented leads, almost all of whom are 13 years old, Greasepaint Youth Theatre presents a wonderful production of this very funny and moving musical....As Evan, Evan Kaushesh is charming and fun with a sweet singing voice. Adia Gleave brings a solid stage presence and a beautiful singing voice to Patrice, and Kylan Chait has perfect comic timing as Archie. All three create likable, realistic characters that you root to succeed. Declan Skaggs is bright and funny as Brett, and Olivia Feldman is cunning, conniving and appropriately bitchy as Lucy, the girl who tries to get Brett for her own. Raquel Murrietta is warm as Kendra, the girl both Brett and Evan want to date, and Boston Laney and Lynden Jarman add some fun moments as Malcolm and Eddie, two of the guys who hang on Brett's every word. ...With a gifted cast and bright creative elements, Greasepaint presents a winning, very funny and joyful production of this charming musical that's a nice reminder that sometimes it's better to be yourself than try to be someone you're not just to try to fit in." -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
