Should've seen it in a major city
by Laura on 4/13/24The Santander Performing Arts Center - ReadingRating: 3 out of 5The show itself was wonderful. It was amazing how a limited cast and no large set changes only enhanced the skills of the actors. The music at the end was a huge highlight. My issue was where we saw this performance. I will never ever go to Santander Performing Arts Centers again. Do not confuse this playhouse with the Santander Arena in Reading--they are not the same building. I left a review on the playhouse's website so I will not rehash it here. My advice though if you want to see this wonderful show, go to a major city and not an inefficient, expensive, and unskilled venue such as the Performing Arts Center. High school musical productions and community theater locations are superior. My only criticism about the play is that the beginning part felt a bit drawn out and I started to lose a bit of interest. However, it got much stronger in the second half. Again, nothing to do with the acting (that was wonderful), but the storyline dipped a bit.
