A couple of excerpts:
Broadway World:
“From the very first number, the rousing and soaring “Ragtime”, you are aware you are about to experience something exceptional.”
“In summation, when it comes to musical theatre, this is how it should be done, folks. In under a decade, Kaitlin Hopkins has created a program that attracts out of state students because it turns out triple threat career bound performers and designers who deliver Broadway quality work.”
CTX Live
“… [what] the Texas State musical theatre people have done: by building the program over the past decade, the school has assembled an artistic critical mass that allows it to fill and paint the stage with such an overabundance of talent that their productions, including this one of the epic musical Ragtime, would conquer audiences anywhere in the nation – yea, in fact, anywhere in the world.”
Austin360
“… the immense amount of talent to be found on the stage.”
GREAT JOB BOBCATS!
