Excellent cast, very talented. Professional production!
I may have seen a future Broadway smash hit today. The young cast was stellar — they already could be On Broadway rather than in college. The songs were excellent, the orchestra and conducting was excellent, the book worked. An after performance talk about the formation and development of the musical, with the author of Paperboy and all the talented people who created this musical, was a special treat.
The MSM Cast and Crew did a great job! Wonderful show. Very talented cast. Try and see the show. Very limited run. You will be sorry if you miss this production.
Loved it!!
Lovely new musical; talented actors with beautiful voices. This musical is destined for Broadway!
An original new musical about a paperboy in 1950’s Memphis who is bullied because he stutters has a great story, wonderful music & lyrics and tremendous heart! The young performers, all students at the Manhattan School of Music, are extremely talented – they sing, act and dance like Broadway performers! If this musical is brought back or moved to another venue, go see it! You will enjoy this musical!
A student production of professional quality. Remarkable performances!
The whole cast did a stellar job with this feel-good musical. Easy subway ride from midtown too!
A joy to see the Manhattan School of Music production. Paperboy was sensational and the cast talkback was especially elucidating.
Excellent production; worthy of any Broadway stage!
Uplifting and talented group of young artists. Loved every moment of the musical. Bravo!
A wonderful musical with exceptionally talented performers, great script and music. Orchestra was excellent…Seats were perfect in a beautiful venue. Manhattan School of Music prepares great talent. Paperboy will go far.Â
Paperboy was an inspiring theatrical performance based on a true story of a boy that stuttered and the people that influenced him in his life to help him overcome his disability. The college students on stage were very talented and we were lucky enough to sit behind the author of the book on which the play was based. I cried, laughed and was awed by the 29 original songs in this first time performance. Looking forward to attending another performance in this lovely venue, The Manhattan School of Music.
It was a perfect venue for a great production. The setting backdrop was very clever. But the best part was the talent of the cast. The voices and choreography were well done. The live orchestration at a play adds another dimension to the production.
Loved this musical!! Great story, fantastic music! Wonderful creative choreography, and excellent screen projections in lieu of stage props.
Awesome musical. World premiere. Cast and orchestra are current Manhattan School Of Music students. They do an amazing and professional job of telling the story of an 11 year old boy who stutters and how he finds his voice.
