Reviews

“…a compact musical biography that is receiving a first class production from CRT. Musically the show is especially strong with six voices that do terrific justice to (John Denver’s) music and are equally impressive when they harmonize. The sextet has no slouches when it comes to a shift from the quiet of a campfire to a hoedown, complete to square dancing.”
- Joan Vadeboncoeur, The Post Standard

“The songs benefit from the strong ensemble singing, especially “Grandma’s Feather Bed” and “Take Me Home, Country Roads”. Some of his songs - “Let Us Begin (What Are We Making Weapons For?) - are timelier than ever.”
- Jim Catalano, The Cortland Ticket

“Director and choreographer Daniel B. Hess moves his troupe of singers in an efficient, polished manner.”
- Chuck Klaus, The Post Standard.
