“Jordan Barrow as Themba has passion and charm. You get the sense of his growing confidence and confliction of where he should be in the world. He has poise and ability to handle this tricky part.”
“What a true delight in the performance of young Jordan Barrow as the prodigy, Themba.”
“Newcomer Jordan Barrow is a major find as Themba. He is an intense, realistic actor, he sings with passion and he can convincingly play well-known classical pieces on the piano.”
“The elements of both song and dance are key elements in the production that are both powerful and effective. Jordan Barrow's singing is particularly noteworthy.”
“All of the actors are convincing. The exceptional Barrow, trained in musical theater, hits all the high notes without the slightest indication of strain. It's easy to imagine him singing almost any melody and racing up an octave to do so.”
“Jordan Barrow has an incredible singing voice that must extend upward three octaves. He is a sensitive actor with many emotional colors that he presents physically while keeping his musical tone unswerving in his vocal delivery. As Grant, he makes a perfect acting match for Leigh, played by Kalyne Coleman.”
