    The Star Struck cast and crew were fabulous. Music, singing, dancing, this production simply hits on all cylinders and carries the WOW to the audience. This is must-see theater at its best!

    Directed by Lori Stokes, StarStruck's production of 42nd Street borders on perfection. I have never been so impressed with a youth theater production. I had to keep reminding myself that I was watching children and not seasoned professionals. At one point in the show, a character exclaims "Kids can do anything!" These youth provide a strong testament to that statement.

    I have seen many musical theatre productions before. This one is the best. It's the most amazing production in the bay area. Nothing can compare to it. It's so professionally done. The show should go to New York!! In fact it's better than the shows in New York. Wow! Wow! I Loved It! Hats off to the Director Lori Stokes, The Orchestra Director Nancy Godfrey and the Choreographers Becky Peretti and Jeanne Batacan-Harper. I've already bought tickets to go again. It's a must see!

    In the beginning of the first song, the curtain is raised about 2-3 feet high so that only those dancing feet are what you see, then minutes you see the outstanding cast tapping their hearts out. I say bravo to the director and the choreographer (s), I see they had two. The orchestra was on pitch, I am certainly going back! The costumes are beautiful, colorful, classy, a bow to the costume designer. There are so many favorite moments in this show that I really can't pin point one. I can say the unforgetable characters are Julian Marsh, Peggy Sawyer-what a tapper!, Dorothy Brock-when she sang "I only have eyes for you" it brought a tear to my eye and Maggie Jones-Hilarious! she hit her lines like a professional comedian. My hat off to the director, conductor, and the choreographers! Look forward to your next show. I just became a fan. Collapse

    Unless you are willing to travel to the East side of the Hudson, you are not likely to find a more entertaining show than StarStruck's "42nd Street". This is a show about young and talented musical theatre aspirants performed by a young and extremely talented cast ably supported by a fine orchestra directed by Nancy Godfried. "42nd Street" is remembered for its tuneful songs and awesome ensemble dance numbers. The young adults from Starstruck deliver both with enthusiatic expertise. My thanks go to Director Lori Stokes and Choreographers Becky Peretti and Jeanne Batacan-Harper for a most enjoyable evening. Collapse
