Las Cruces Community Theatre Reviews

       This is probably the best musical we've attended in our 19 years in Las Cruces. LCCT has come a long way since then - 19 years ago. Thank you for really GOOD theater!!! Ila & Don McCoy

   Entertaining community theater show where it was clear the actors and audience were having a good time. The performances varied from very professional to rookies.

   This performance was electric - amazing job by the cast, crew and director. If this is an example of community theater in Las Cruces I can’t wait to see more!

   It was just pure fun. Exactly what we needed for a hot summer's night :)

   We had a lot of fun! We did, however, wonder why none of the songs from the movie were used?

   Enjoyed the show but couldn’t hear the actors several times. We felt that the microphones weren’t working properly.

         GREAT!!!

   This is the best production yet and they have all been very good!

   The actors put a lot of hard work into the performance. The solo singers throughout the play weren't always in key but obviously tried their best. The dialogue volume was vastly different from one actor to another to the point some of the dialogue was imperceptible. For whatever reason, the second half of the play was much more energetic and more enjoyable to watch.

   Lots of fun!

   Great fun, a showcase for local talent. Would suggest lowering the music soundtrack a bit so the singers can be heard better. Step Up in row J is dangerous. We saw two people fall. Usher said people have fallen there before. Should be fixed before there is a serious injury.

   Wonderful cast! Loved the choreography and the voices were great! Creative set design. Thanks to everyone who brought this to the stage. A really fun afternoon.

   Great overall. Good voices, fantastic facial expressions Some male voices weak and hard to hear. I

   Absolutely fun and entertaining. Loved the lead singer and the thugs were fun.

   Interesting and thoughtful conversations throughout this play, really liked the conclusion. Admired the character actors who did an excellent job of memorizing an incredible amount of dialog. It seemed a little long, so am grateful there was no intermission to draw it out.

  The actors did a fine job of preforming this play. I think plays that are not really appealing to the larger community enjoyment are things that a small venue, such as LCCT, are better off not doing. The references were too obscure to be understood, therefore are not enjoyable to most. One critic I offer to the actors is to slow down, the lines fly by so quickly it is hard to follow.

   Fantastic show! The actors were believable in their roles and very entertaining. How did they remember all that dialogue??

     Amazing script and acting by all three with special kudos to the portrayal of Charles Dickens. One negative comment - the banner hanging with “discord” from the Psalms in the Bible - can’t find it in the Psalms . . . pretty sure it’s from the Bible book of Proverbs🤔

   subject matter a bit off color, not was what expected. But all in all, the cast were amazing!

 A three-person dialogue-weighted play with excellent framing set and lighting. Some of the philosophical arguments and differences among Dickens, Jefferson, and Tolstoy were artifacts of their eras and religious beliefs while their personality differences were what really gave the play it bounce. Their "confessions" prevented their yeasty self-opinions from floating up to the realm of the gods. Good stamina and focus on the part of each of the three actors.

   It was okay.

     The acting was outstanding! The sets were perfect (right down to the shelves of clean supplies behind Jim's desk - clearly he was shoehorned into a closet! ... Again 😂) The reason for my mediocre rating was the story - I didn't get the point. I THINK we were pointing toward the trouble with conspiracy theories today, but it never quite got there for me. A little too deep into the weeds.

     Wonderful play! The three actors were amazing and a joy to watch. Loved the premise. Great set!

   Pleased and proud to see such a high caliber, polished and professional production in Las Cruces. Amazing to see what talent we have in our midst.

   Wow! The actors all were excellent! Excellent story line. I enjoyed both the light comedy touches and the dramatic acting. Wonderful event!

     Excellent! Would see again

     Superb cast! Great singing voices and acting, from the youngest child up to the Reverend Mother, who rivals the singer in the movie. What an enjoyable experience. In fact, taking friends and going to see it again next weekend. Well done!

   I prefer comedies and musicals, so sometimes this seemed slow to me, but it was well acted and professionally mounted.

     The actors were great but the play was depressing. Six people one row ahead of us left at intermission.

   Same emotions throughout, just rage and anger, needed more variety of emotions.

   Amazing acting by the two brothers. It was the last day of the play and not one person seemed to forget a line. Both actors who played the brothers did an excellent job! (Benjamin Ramsey and Nick Check)

   The lead actor was outstanding. What a talented cast!

   This show was fantastic. It was so good to see something different and well done. Great cast, costuming, and set design!

   It was a very strange musical. The singing was not that great.

     The Bat Boy actor was excellent. The rest of the cast left much to be desired.

   After hearing mixed reviews, I had low expectations. However, we both enjoyed the play. The vocalists were fantastic. The choreography was uncomplicated and that added to the production. As were the sets. Overall A+.

   REALLY fine job on a complicated script. Kid playing BatBoy was fabulous! (and the forest scene with all the animals is worth the price of admission alone!)

   The Red Cast was fantastic especially the Vontrap boys

   The crew was phenomenal.

   Amazing cast, direction, and stage design. The BEST show to grace this stage in years!

     Very enjoyable

   Loved this play! Music and dance were well done and acting superb!

   AMAZINGLY fun, funny and great performance. Everything was so smooth, professional and relatable. As always, acting, choreography, costumes - brilliant! Bravo, to everyone! Can't wait to see what comes our way with the next season. Already got our tickets!!

     Great value

   It is nice to be able to purchase a season pass and choose my seat for the whole year.

   Received my phone call the next day after I had contacted you about purchasing a season ticket. The man that contacted us was most helpful and patient. Thank goodness he knew his stuff.

   Absolutely loved watching the Sound of Music!! It was AMAZING!

     Loved it! However I felt like some of their mikes weren’t working properly. Hard to hear some of the words when they were singing. But aside from that. It was great!

   It was wonderful

   I would have preferred the non-musical version.

   Play was okay and a nice way to spend a night out.
