“[It] was fantastic! I enjoyed it so much and felt completely taken care of throughout the interactive performance. I actually had the sensation of being at a spa. The vocals were beautiful and expertly performed. What a unique and delightful experience!” – Gina Allen
“I think I had a smile on my face the whole time…. I’d never been part of such a personally tailored theatrical experience and doubt I ever will be again… We need pieces of theatre that push form and spark excitement in audience members and foster one to one connection in a memorable way. That’s what [this piece] was to me” – Georgia Beaty
“I had such a blast… Super convenient, receiving a personalized theatre performance right to my cell… I was grinning the whole time and had the tune in my head all day. Really fun and hope they will bring it back!” – Emily Villavicencio
“that was terrific, lots of fun, big smile throughout… thanks for taking the time to provide me an exclusive one-off experience…” – Don Kugler
“The overall experience was very uplifting. In a time of such isolation, [it] was a much needed reminder of the power of community.” – Robert Barlow
