"The musical 13 tells a charming and energetic coming-of-age story that perfectly captures the highs and lows of middle school life, tackling themes of friendship, fitting in, and self-acceptance. With a cast of young performers in their early teens who bring plenty of enthusiasm, humor and heart, Greasepaint Youth Theatre's production is authentic and relatable, making it a delightful experience for audiences of all ages....Under Nat Coe's warm and sincere direction, the Greasepaint cast deliver strong performances, demonstrating sharp acting abilities and energy that is infectious. Evan is a likable protagonist, and Luca Grasso does a very good job in letting us see Evan's eagerness to fit in while also learning from the mistakes he makes along the way. With an impressive singing voice, Kennedy Cook is wonderful as Patrice, Evan's quirky and kindhearted neighbor who stands as the show's voice of reason, while River Knight shines as Archie, the witty and determined handicapped boy who befriends Evan, providing comic relief and a big heart. Grasso, Cook, and Knight form a fun trio of friends with an abundance of warmth and realism." - Gil Benbrook, TalkinBroadway.com (click here to read the complete review)
