REVIEWS
OKC Art Scene and Hurd-“This cast and Smeltzer’s crisp direction make an absolutely dynamite show. They’re energetic and electric.
This Grease feels new and exciting, while remaining nostalgic and yes, even more than a little empowering. For now, and probably
forever, Grease is still the Word”UCO Musical Theatre/Broadway Tonight, Adrienne Proctor. (September 2019).
The Oklahoman, 'Hair' shines at UCO's Mitchell Hall Theatre. Youthful energy, professional know-how and memorable material intertwine for
an impressive “Hair” at Mitchell Hall Theater/City Rep, Brandy McDonnel (February 2019).
OK Art Scene and Hurd-“Hair- A Crowning Achievement from UCO and CityRep! Half a century has passed and Hair remains as sensational as ever.
Smeltzer’s direction and choreography is based on his vast experience, including performing in several productions of Hair. As a result, the cast of Hair does a magnificent job in creating these characters and in re-creating the idealism that brought about so many changes during our 20th century renaissance. FABULOUS! The youngsters 50 years ago did make a difference, and the youngsters on stage at Mitchell Hall are changing the world with their song, their dance and their passion carrying their message with very special talents! The talent is superb, the set, lighting, sound, music and movement are superior in every way. This show deserves a standing ovation, a jumping up and down ovation and furthermore, it’s pretty groovy." Mitchell Hall Theater/Broadway Tonight/City Rep, Elizabeth Hurd (February 2019).
BroadwayWorld.com-"What a powerful piece of performance art!! This show is a beautiful, moving experience and a staple for the personal catalog of anyone who loves theatre. This stunning cast of young artists carry the burden of the past while holding onto their youthful hope. This wonderful cast recreates a landmark moment in American history. Emotionally charged, groovy, and absolutely breathtaking, they’ll take you to a turning point when the world was changing and the growing pains were felt by everyone." Mitchell Hall Theater/Broadway Tonight/City Rep, Adrienne Proctor. (February 2019)
