AUGUST RUSH THE MUSICAL PARAMOUNT THEATER AURORA, IL. WORLD PREMIER
August Rush The Musical World Premier at the Paramount Theater, Aurora, IL. Brilliant adaption of this deceptively simple, engaging story of coming of age, Independence, betrayal, resilience, talent and hope. The staging and lighting is powerful and so cleverly utilized for this “one act,” no intermission journey of a young orphaned boy convinced his parents, who he has never seen, are somewhere looking for him. With music so central to the story itself, the story-telling through such a talented ensemble is enhanced by multi-gifted cast members whose acting, movement and incredible on-stage musicianship is mesmerizing. Right before the audience’s eyes in this wonderful theater, the intricacies of this limited dialogue, music dominated continuous movement thoroughly focused this fan of the movie drawing me into this wonderful new interpretation. Many thanks for this memorable performance. Bravo!

This show was amazing. I felt every emotion that each piece of music and song was portraying. My husband enjoyed very much also. Even though he had not seen the movie he was able to follow the story and thoroughly enjoyed the show! Loved every minute from beginning to end!

Interesting technique having one stage setup and running the performance without break/intermission! IT WORKED!! Really enjoyed the performers and their enthusiasm. Very impressed with the ability of the performers to sing and use multiple instruments (TALENTED). With additional performances this show will only get better and be a 5 STAR!

DIFFERENT BUT STILL GOOD
The premise of the play was a little strange but the acting and the singing were very well done. I saw some bad reviews. I don't agree with them at all. It was a little slow, but overall a good performance.

EXCEPTIONAL AND UNIQUE “WORK IN PROGRESS”
OK. This was a stretch “4”. We saw the show on the second weekend. The performances, the music, the acting, and the staging were as good or better than the high quality we have grown to expect at the Paramount. And the visuals were exceptional. However, the storyline is a little thin and left us wanting for more to be added as the show continues to be developed. There is a need for more to make the audience care about all the characters. We also had a hard time understanding where they were going with the Wizard and The Coummunity - Charles Manson or a band of merry street musicians. We did hear several people saying as they left that it just wasn’t their type of show, and I think that will be a common reaction. It will be interesting to see where this eventually evolves.
