Testimonials describe “talented performances, a live orchestra, and a fair price” from a patron survey for “42nd Street,” and call Musical Theatre West “at the top of their game” with productions that “sizzle,” according to the Grunion Gazette. Other comments describe “breathtaking visuals and special effects that any Broadway theatre would be fortunate to have,” from LA Excites, and refer to Musical Theatre West as “one of the best local theaters in the nation” and “one of the best games in town” that “sets the mark for musical theatre in Southern California.”
