REVIEWS: "A bright, beaming cherub of a fledgling musical, "The Green Room" depicts the backstage aspirations and tribulations of four theater majors at a small Midwestern university. As such, the show is pretty much defined by the exuberance as well as the self-absorption that goes with a stage of life before the onset of adult responsibilities. Think "Merrily We Roll Along" -- without the rolling. Composer-lyricist Chuck Pelletier's skillfully crafted score is a satisfying range of musical styles despite a suboptimal sound system. A rockin', guitar-heavy "Bachelor's Anthem" is one of several songs following in the footsteps of late "Rent" creator Jonathan Larson, while "The All-You-Wanna-Do-is-Do-Me Blues" lives up to its name with deadpan soulfulness."--LA TIMES "5 STARS. Critics Pick! The Green Room boasts a uniquely appealing musical score by Chuck Pelletier and a fast-paced, optimistic story about collegiate youth. In the worst of times, what could be more inspirational? "It's All About Me", "Destination Stage Left" "I Wanna Go To Extremes" and "Nothing Can Stop My Boys" are just 4 of the tuneful songs that will stay with you for many years to come. From what other new contemporary musical are you likely to even remember one tune?" --Grigware Talks Theatre "From the first note of this fresh new musical, you’d better pay attention because the words fly fast and furious, with energy to spare, from the sparkling young cast. If you’ve ever been an actor, wanted to be an actor, or known an actor, you’ll relate to the Broadway-hopeful dreams of these characters in their home away from home -- the green room." --Musicals in LA "The production of the musical at California Stage is a surprisingly sweet (and sometimes bawdy) tale of ambition and talent. Its sparkling cast – Courtney Parks as Divonne Bruder, Jessica Goldman as Anna Kearns, Jacob Montoya as Cliff Kearns and Lafras le Roux asJohn Davis – is energetic and appealing, and the production – directed by Kevin Caravalho – is polished without being too smooth. Even its multimedia slide-and-film shows – which were not part of the original script – feel organic."--Sacramento Bee “This little musical will no doubt become a favorite among the musical theater community, if for no reason other than how well it mirrors the experience of so many young actors. The pop-based score has some outrageously funny (and smart) lyrics, notably an anthem to virility (“Nothing Can Stop My Boys”) and an extremely snarky riff on the politics of theater (“Destination Stage Left”). For those of us who spent any time around the theater crowd in college, The Green Room is a trip down memory lane.” --Sacramento News & Review "In these tight economic times, The Green Room’s small cast and simple set requirements make it a perfect choice for regional and community theaters. All in all, The Green Room is an entirely enjoyable musical bonbon, and an excellent showcase for four very talented young performers you’ll likely be hearing much more from in the future." --StageScene LA
