What the critics are saying...
|
Theatre

“Into the Woods shows that the Fine Arts Center is serious about making its theater productions every bit as good as its visual-art presentations. The first production by the Fine Arts Center Theatre Company — a recent name change from The Rep — is without a doubt the most ambitious musical theater production in the history of Colorado Springs.”
— Mark Arnest, The Gazette
“The FAC follows last year's Denver Post Ovation-winning best musical "Pirates of Penzance" with a stunning staging by a cast dotted with Broadway veterans and opera-caliber singers, with sets and costumes also worthy of the Great White Way.”
“The troupe is no secret to Colorado Springs. Every show I've attended there in six years has been sold out in its now gorgeously refurbished, 400-seat SaGâJi Theatre. To anyone in Denver who wonders whether it's worth the drive - don't wonder.”
— John Moore, The Denver Post
