"The book of 'Pamela’s First Musical' is a breezy affair, packed with plenty of knowing in-jokes for Broadway buffs, and hitting all the bases for a kid-centric story...Call it a 'meta'-musical experience, although don’t strain to overthink things if you do. At its best, 'Pamela’s First Musical' is exactly what it aims to be — a family entertainment that’s genuinely 'fun for all ages,' and a great little intro to a magical world that’s just made to order for that special Pamela in one’s life."

“Austin has a gorgeous singing voice and executed her role in such a fun way that I felt was perfect for kids...The journey that Pamela went on was adorable and the music was fun and inspiring, very pro-uniqueness and creativity. Every kid should be encouraged to embrace their individuality and imagination!...’There were a bunch of funny jokes, not necessarily all just for the kids...'Pamela’s First Musical’ is THE performance for kids to see for their first musical!”

"The top-notch cast made the show a most enjoyable experience from start to finish...This musical theater production offers a humorous and heartwarming jaunt...The name given to the musical-within-a-musical and some of the scenes portrayed wonderfully by Andrea Burns and Howard McGillin within it were hilarious; my kids are still referencing them days later!...Overall, 'Pamela's First Musical' offers a real treat for the entire family."
