This show had so much heart! The music and costumes were beautiful and the cast was so talented. It was the perfect mix of spooky and lighthearted! The ghosts were my favorite. I will be back next year!
I came in with low expectations when I found out it was a community theater putting on an original play, but I was stunned by the storyline and the catchy music. It was entertaining the whole way through, and I found myself humming the tunes the next day.
The songs were absolutely fantastic! A perfect show for the Halloween season, there were so many twists and turns in the plot, as well as many lovable characters. This show pulls all of my favorite things about Halloween, and puts it on the stage.
I loved the atmosphere as soon as you walk in it feels like you’re part of a community, I also loved how they started the intermission it was very fun
We love the writing and the music. It's bigger than itself. This is our 4th year coming back for this play and we plan to come back for many more.
Everyone was so good! All of the actors were perfect for their parts.
Unsettling lighting and sound effects fill the space, creating the perfect mood for a spooky night.

Read the reviewThe group number “Restless Immortals” is especially entertaining, with ghoulish moves and haunting but energetic refrains.
