Rockford University Reviews

       Generally speaking, parking was okay and the venue great. Will go into detail about the event in the questions below....hint IT WAS INCREDIBLE.

   Beautiful campus and theater.

  R,U provided a welcoming location for a spectacular production. I don't think our community knows what a gem they have in the RU theater program.

         Absolutely Fantastic

   Parking too far, especially for elderly and handicap

         Rockford University once again does a wonderful job. Thoroughly enjoyed the production

     Efficient, friendly and accurate.

   Ok. Had trouble finding the theater. GPS wanted to send us down the road behind the theater that was closed off. Directional signs would help people not familiar with the campus layout.

 A first rate performance by extremely talented actors. Loved being able to see the muscians. Great singing voices too. On the down side, my husband wears hearing aids and it was difficult for him to hear some of the songs and dialogue. Don't know if RU has bluetooth or headsets for people who have hearing challenges but I do know it would have enhanced his experience.

   Appreciate the very talented performers, but play content was disappointing . Play disrespected Jesus & used God’s name as swearing. Play also highlighted man’s erection. Not sure what the story of play was. Definitely not something I would bring our grandkids to. Would be nice if advertisements for plays included a rating for which age groups were appropriate to see play.

   I really enjoyed this event. The actors, musicians, and crew gave me a very enjoyable evening at the theatre.

 The cast, production, staging, music...amazing! Everyone in my group wanted me to say how much they enjoyed the performance. Thank you for sharing your talents to provide us with an evening of joy!

   Hilarious… skilled actors and it was great how they looked youngins…

   Great performances by all. Liked the framed video backdrop.

     The play was extremely great!!!

   First act was a bit slow but second act was better. Actors did a great job.

   Found myself laughing out loud several times during 2nd part. Thank you!

 Very entertaining program. The acting, sets and costumes were top notch. There were a couple prop and curtain failures, but overall I would highly recommend the show and plan to return. 

   The play was great. The audience was disrespectful of your work. I can't believe the number of older people who don't realize you need to be keep your conversations to a whisper because people want to hear what the actors are saying. Maybe it is because we went to the matinee. We will attend our next play will be at night and see if theater goers are more knowledgeable about theater behavior.

   Very entertaining show. The acting was very good and great story line. Verry fun afternoon.

   acting, costumes, and scenery very good play itself only so so

   Students did a great job. Please keep choosing comedies.

     A fun event!

   Great casting!! well done

   Great production! So much talent !! Robbie needed a shirt that fit him ( this 1 was too small),, Kiera’s hair needed to be off her face. Her duet was lovely, but couldn’t see her face. Kayleigh needed a better costume- the shirt was bunched up in her pants- looked weird. Also, the eyes are so expressive- please keep them open when singing with the group ( at the end of the show). These are minor things- just observed from a fellow thespian. -

   Had a wonderful time - excellent performances!

     The show was amazing! The entire ensemble was entertaining and talented! Antonio Laws was specially awesome! Keep up the good work and good luck in Scotland!!!!

   Fantastic show, talented musicians, great venue- could not have been better!

   Outstanding production, staging and performers! We so enjoyed it!

 The students put on a fantastic and professional show, excelling in both singing and acting.

   What a beautiful show!

     We enjoyed the performance very much. Please to see that it was well attended. Would like to see you add another performance or two that weekend and consider adding an afternoon performance to accommodate young families or seniors. Thank you.

   Wonderful talent! Definitely exceeded my expectations!

   SOUND too loud-hurt my ears

 Lucky Stiff was an entertaining and amusing production, showcasing the exceptional talent of the students.

   See above

   I would have appreciated a short intermission given the length of the show. Otherwise it was thoroughly enjoyable.

   I’ve been to 5 plays at Rockford and this was the only one that disappointed. The cast performed their roles well but the Play itself just dragged. I reserved a table up front which not worth it. Just made the seating uncomfortable.

   Robbie, the King, was hilarious

   I would give 5 stars, but the 'ushers' or the proper term for those individuals who 'organized' us in line before the ceremony were quite disorganized (no big deal, it's a stressful event) but on top of that, very rude and impatient with myself and other graduates. They decided to wait until the final 10 minutes before the ceremony to begin organizing us regarding how we would enter and so on. I had numerous other graduates express to me they felt condescended to.

   Don't remember going to this event

 It was amazing!

   Temperature in Maddox was a bit warm. Great show!

   Outstanding!! Great selections and Superlative performances.

     Show was magnificent. The fake smoke was overwhelming and did not add to the production. Left both my wife and me with eye and throat irritation. If not for smoke, would have been 5 stars.

   Amazing show!

   Outstanding production! From set design and lighting, to cast performances, this was an excellent show. We particularly enjoyed the performances of the actors who played Pennywise and Lockstock.

     An excellent show, such talent and great voices. We thoroughly enjoyed it and will be back.

  The show was great - even with the microphone glitches.  I wish you hadn't run out of programs. Perhaps you could offer an online program that people could download...

   Production was fantastic. Theatre was super warm- took away from enjoying the show

   AMAZING job by the cast! This is by far my favorite musical and I was looking forward to seeing RU do their rendition - I was NOT disappointed! These students are clearly so very passionate about what they do - every facial expression was in character and added to the entertainment value. I was thoroughly impressed.

   Talented and energetic cast..great job!

   Great performance. Actors did an excellent job.

   We loved the show, professional actors, great costumes, and nice comfortable theater. We will defiantly come back.

   Loved it. Would have been nice if the program stated 3 acts and the location of each act v

   it was funny, acting wonderful, and such beautiful costumes.

   It was done very well and was hilarious. Sound was great and they articulated very well. We loved the performance, the costumes, and the props. Thank you to all.

   The program did not have the three acts listed. Actors needed microphone/headgear for the audience to really get the one liners.

     Very enjoyable play! Actors were on point with everything. Set design was amazing. Thanks for a wonderful performance!

   Loved it! Those students are so talented!

 Very moving, touching story. Beautiful. The girls in the leads really touched my heart.

     story well told.

     Excellent!

   The story is incredibly sad. The acting was amazing. Such emotional performances! This is by far, the best performance I've seen. Kudos to all involved!

 I was really disappointed in the choice of speaker for the commencement. The entire speech felt like it was a shameless plug for her book and it felt like she lost completely the audience. I asked everyone that I invited what they thought as well and they all said the same thing. One even said she made 10 minutes feel like over an hour. Would not recommend inviting her to speak again.

   Great overall commencement but they parking is terrible. They should not charge for the parking garage, it took forever to get out.

   The entire event was great and the venue was outstanding! I absolutely loved it!!

   Ordering online can be confusing.

      Great performance. Actors did an excellent job.
