“Musical direction by Kat Sherrell is smooth as silk, and the goodly sized orchestra sounds great.”
“A Christmas Story returns to the 5th Avenue with a new production in which the director, Brandon Ivie, quickly establishes a level of professionalism that’s impressive. The same is true of Kat Sherrell’s musical direction.”
“The music, conducted with spirit by Kat Sherrell, sweeps you up with its gusto and nuance. The cast is nearly flawless, with standout performances by George and Michels (“Whoop-Ti- Ay”), Cuccioli (“Wand’rin’ Star”) and Lopez (“Another Autumn”).”
