Westinghouse Arts Academy Reviews

   Top notch!

   The teens were above professional. The performance was exciting with this perfect set and the orchestra in step with every note and joke. Their voices put chills on me! It was so great, I'm still overwhelmed with happiness thinking about it! I'm still talking about the flawless adaptation. I'll admit, it occurred to me as I was driving over, listening to the movie soundtrack, how you would get around the sensitive issues, and you DID! I didn't even notice them.

   By far, the best high school musical we’ve ever seen! Keep up the great work!!!

   Such an amazing opening night at Westinghouse Arts academy, Shit, musical! We are so proud of you all!Congratulations to the cast, crew and pit whose hard work paid off! You definitely dazzled the audience!

           The students did an outstanding production! It was thoroughly enjoyable. Congratulations!

   Incredible performance! Professional all around. Director, staff, and performers should be so proud of themselves! We will def return to see more of your shows in the future!

   What an absolutely amazing performance!!!!

   This show was absolutely amazing!! Huge props to all involved!!!

   Absolutely wonderful! Extremely talented group of students. Can't wait to see what's next.

   Show was great. The talent is amazing.

   Another INCREDIBLE show by this inspiring group of teachers and students. I'm always blown away and crying happy tears at every production! The level of talent and the work you ll put into these shows is amazing. Thank you!

  It was FABULOUS! If you miss it, you're missing out. Everything was so professional. If you didn't know they were highschoolers, you would think you were in a Broadway theater.

 I was thoroughly razzled & dazzled! Amerik's high note, well, all of his notes! WOW. I did a lot of "WOWing" during every number by the cast. This show was so much better than the movie. Although I do understand the movie was highly produced to work like a stage show. You all were at the very top of your game! From the story, to set, costumes, timing, voices, orchestra... I could gush forever

     The performances were wonderful as was the play.i was amazed by the talent of the actors, band members, stage crew and how courtous the ushers were.

   Smiled from ear to ear. Such energy and talent! Thoroughly enjoyed the production.

   Excellent

   My only advice is that when people are choosing their tickets from a seat map, that it is demonstrated in the seat map for that particular show which seats are going to be removed so you know how close you were going to be sitting to the front. Other than that, it was a great show and we had a great time. Thank you!

 A brilliantly moving interactive performance, expertly executed from auditions to opening night in only four weeks! I went twice and sat in the main audience once, then the stage/interactive seating the second time, and it was like watching two different shows. Really incredible performances, lighting designs, costumes, choreography, etc.

   I really enjoyed Godspell. Kudos to all the staff for putting together such entertainment! It was overflowing with so much talent. It was fun to see such an updated version of this show!

   Loved the production. These young people had a very short time to put it all together and they did a phenomenal job! I absolutely enjoyed it. My 11 year old granddaughter was in it and I was so proud of her.

   Great!

   Excellent music. Excellent performance. Excellent subject matter. Job well done.

   It was a privilege to see the growth and development of these students who have high interest in the arts. The enthusiasm was evident in the vocal and instrumental teachers mentoring these students. It was lovely to see original works by some of the students and the student conducting was truly appreciated. Loved it!

   Rigby is King!!!

   The kids were all very talented. They all should be very proud of themselves!

       This show was fantastic! So much talent in one place. Kudos to the staff in putting this show together.

   It was like a professional production! Excellent choreography! All of the students were fantastic!

   I was absolutely thrilled about every single aspect of this performance! This was the most fantastic high school musical I have ever experienced. Every single cast member was so talented. There were no weak spots. I had to remind myself that I was watching a high school show, not professional! The set design and lighting were so impressive. All of the components combined to make the most moving, entertaining performance of Joseph I have ever seen. I absolutely loved it!

   The show was amazing and the kids are so talented! However, the sound balsnce between the kids microphones and the live orchestra was way off, msking it hard to hear them. A lot of the talent was shortchanged because of it.

   Amazing what young people can do.Very well done!

   Such a great adaptation!

   Talented students, fantastic music from the pit, not my favorite story.

   It was absolutely amazing!!!

   Great show!

   Great production

     This version of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat was excellent. I especially enjoyed the Benjamin Calypso

   Kids looked amazing! Unfortunately the sound on the solos was TERRIBLE. We could only make out the words when they were belting out. Perhaps we were in a dead spot? Row H center. The percussion over powered all vocals. Other than that it was a fun interpretation with a lot of talent!

 A good night out!

   A bit tight at the fashion show beforehand ,but the show at the school was fantastic!

   I served as associate head of Carnegie Mellon School of Drama from 1981 until 1997. During that time we traversed the USA every year auditioning aspiring talent. It usually numbered 1,000 auditioning for acting, musical theatre, and a host of production majors. I would classify the amazing talent I saw on the Westinghouse stage as being the equivalent of the finest talent we would see during those audition tours.

   I enjoyed The Magic of Transformation Gala. So much talent in one place!

     Loved it! Kudos to all involved!

   Good but could we please combine both nights into one next year. I would rather have a longer show than to have to miss work. Plus I know many families that could not afford to come to both nights. We basically saw the same show two nights in a row except two or three numbers switched out but had to go the second night because I didn’t want to miss one number my student was in. Please start thinking about affordability for all families.

   I thought the show was lovely. I’d love to see door attendants keeping the doors closed while the kids are performing then allowing the audience to go in and out between acts. The constant up and down, in and out was very distracting. I also think it’s disrespectful to the performers.

     I liked the Holiday Spectacular very much. It's great to see so much talent! Kudos to everyone who brought this show together!

   FANTASTIC!! This school has such talented students. ❤️❤️

   Festive and fun

 It was amazing! Awesome to see the students really owning the show, with acting, props, costumes, etc. Great choice of show. I was also impressed with the students' diction and projection--I could understand them clearly even without personal mics. Keep up the great work! We'll be back to see other performances for sure!

   The best!!!!!!

  We loved the show. It was evident that the students put a lot of work and passion into the performance. Keep up the awesome work!

     Awesome show!

   I thought it was a great show. The students put a lot of energy into the play and it was a good mix of drama and comedy. Loved the dance numbers

   Overall wonderful and the spirit of the kids is admirable.

   Great job!!

   Super talented kids, great direction!

  Overall the cast and crew did an outstanding job! There were some issues with being able to hear vocals, but I assume this had more to do with the way the sound system was arranged (We were in row D, and literally right in front of the orchestra while the speakers seemed to be off to the sides). I enjoyed the costuming, set design, and the choreography as well. The orchestra was fantastic - I saw one young person switch between like three instruments in the same number.

   It was fantastic!

   Loved the show

   Fantastic!!!

   We loved the show! The students were incredibly talented and they seemed to be cast well. The costumes were mostly well done,

  Absolutely loved the performance!!!
