"Days
later, I'm still moved by the breakthrough performance from
Kelly Twedt as Luisa, an impeccable singer who captures
the playful sexuality, tension, and heartbreak of a young
girl coming of age. She and David Allan Howell (Matt) look
good together - and they sound even better. Their duet "Metaphor"
("You are love . . . ") is proof even critics
can have goosebumps. Don't tell." John Moore, The
Denver Post

"Kelly
Twedt as Luisa is simply stunning, capturing the youthfulness
and energy of the character perfectly. Her lovely voice
is strong enough to carry her songs, but her acting shines
through in each moment. David Allan Howell took on the role
of Matt, and he is a perfect match for the effervescent
Twedt. As El Gallo Austin Terrell is simply magnificent."

"I
“tried to remember” when I had ever seen this
good a production of The Fantasticks, and had to
admit that director Sarah Roshan and her cast had surpassed
all productions of all past “Septembers.”...This
production is deliciously simple and thus right on target.
Sarah Roshan is to be lauded for her superb direction (and)
casting...Not to be missed"

"...off-Broadway's
most beloved and enduring musical. Poetic and lyrical, simple
yet profound, intimate yet universal and determinedly optimistic...a
strong cast and obvious respect for the material...The Fantasticks
unashamedly proclaims love triumphant."
Fr. Patrick Dorn, TheTroupe

"The poetic book and breezy, hummable score, includes
such familiar songs as "Try to Remember," and has endeared
the show to audiences for almost 50 years... This production
takes place at the Denver Victorian Playhouse, one of
the best intimate theaters in town... Denver has a stellar
talent pool in the theater community and this one is another
knockout cast..."
