Single Rider

See it if You enjoy Kerrigan & Lowedermilk or other contemporary theatre composers. Enjoy shows with strong female leads.

Don't see it if You dislike RomComs. Though even if you don't, this one might win you over. Don't want to see certain teen RomCom tropes.

Also "If you want more luck, take more chances." Hopefully there will be some producers willing to take a chance on brining this magical show to Broadway sometime in the very near future.

Single Rider completely won me over. A killer book, great music and orchestrations, and a stellar cast.

Allison Benko's direction works well in the small space, and is very light on its feet.

Angela Sclafani and Clay Singer have wonderful chemistry on-stage, and of course that's the bedrock of any good RomCom.

Kelly Krauter and Mary Malaney are both wonderful supporting actors, and their roles feel every bit as three dimensional as the leads'.

The score is strong, and the orchestrations beautiful. The lighting design is magical.

The only thing I felt, personally, could use some reworking before the next staging is the ending. The pacing of the show is so wonderful and the end feels a little sudden.

There were also some audio incidents, miss being on backstage, but hey, live theatre, right?... Read more Read less

Also The greatest pleasure of a seasoned theater enthusiast is discovering new talent & refreshing creativity. Single Rider produced by Kelly Weaver
pleasantly surprises, delights, entertains, uplifts, & leaves U smiling & happy long after the show ended with bravos & standing ovation.

It is chock full of TALENT & creative juices. I never heard of them but I know they will be the future Alan J. Learners, Stephen Sondheims, Obie & Tony nominees/winners because I can see & hear the magic. The music, book, lyrics are lovely & seldom does one find that perfect chemistry & perfect merger of creative talent as Angela DAnchangelis & Sami Horneff with 6 talented orchestra members playing some of the best music ever. The creative staging, lighting, & fun cute set used with focused & well paced Direction by director Alison Benko made this a polished work with great potential for Broadway.

The cast of young talents is engaging, 120% enthusiastic, lovable, & charming! Everything
Is So On Target!... Read more Read less

See it if You like musicals where everything works out in the end.

Don't see it if You're cynical and can't look past basic sets or some vocal limitations.

See it if You would like to learn more about the amish culture and the opportunity young adults have to experience outside society.

Don't see it if You don't enjoy long winded shows that engage you in outside cultures.

See it if you like small stage productions that pack a lot in! Some talented young actors, and wonderful music! Nothing profound, but enjoyable.

Don't see it if you don't like a basically simple production that does not break new writing ground.

Also Although it sometimes over-powered the singers, the six musicians were fabulous, with beautiful orchestrations! The earnestness of the actors help carry the show to be hearty-felt. Looking forward to hearing more from the writing team and some of these actors, especially Clay Singer and Mary Malaney!... Read more Read less

See it if you like to support new musicals & new artists. It's definitely a work in progress & needs refining. Some cute moments & decent music though
