"Endearingly entertaining...A cast of delightful, disciplined, dazzling young actors bringing the message home without being sugar-coated, coy, preachy, or presenting pat answers...A real winner on all counts. It’s brisk, is accessible to a wide range of ages in its personality-rich characters, situations, and songs — not overly simple, not too complex...The happy medium makes for happy, attentive audiences...Alive with energy, diversity, and excitement."
