“I loved everything about this production and honestly was sad to see it end. I couldn’t help but congratulate all of the cast members in the theatre’s large lobby as I headed out of the theater. I can’t wait to see this musical again, but this production has set the bar very high.”

“A community theater production of THE COLOR PURPLE? Not sure how good that can be. Well, let me go on the record to say that this production by the Connecticut Theatre Company is absolutely breathtaking and does justice to every note, every scene and every heart-wrenching and beautifully written song in the musical. It is fresh and simple, and every bit as moving and life affirming as the original Broadway production (and its recent revival.)”

“From the looks of it, Susan Smith Thom understands this and tackles the role like a pro. Her vocal strength and accuracy easily handled the range and number of songs she had to sing, and she nailed the accompanying emotional roller-coaster Rose had to ride as she moved from the heights of her family’s success down to their deepest failures. It’s a stunning performance to see.”

“The hilarious and vibrant musical “Hairspray” kicked up its heels at the Repertory Theatre on Norden St. in New Britain. Seen on the 22nd, this highly entertaining tribute to the music and racial issues of the early 1960’s was directed by Erin Campbell and presented by the Connecticut Theatre Company with a high-energy cast that, to use an old cliche, was as good as it gets for community theater anywhere!”

“Erin Campbell, president of the company and the show’s personable director, calls the cast fantastic and even that is a bit of an understatement. I recommend this high energy production as one of the best ‘Hairspray’ productions I have ever witnessed.” Read More

“You can’t stop the beat. Or at least you won’t want to after seeing Connecticut Theatre Company’s production of Hairspray, which runs through next weekend at New Britain’s Repertory Theatre.” Read More

“Razzle Dazzle indeed. Last night I attended the opening night of the Connecticut Theatre Company’s ‘Chicago’. This was my first experience seeing a show at the theatre in New Britain, but if this is the caliber of their performances, I’ll be a regular from here on out. Their production of ‘Chicago’ is highly entertaining and brings not only the sexy but the heart as well.”
