What are audiences saying about Beyond the Page Theatre Company at West Potomac High School’s production of American Idiot?
“Fantastic performance! I thought I was watching a Broadway show. They should start charging Broadway prices because they are that good!”
“We came from New York to see this show, and would do it again!”
“LOVED the show and the last song with everyone on stage gave me goosebumps! Congrats cast, crew, and Clark for another incredibly talented and brilliant performance!”
“This production was absolutely amazing! I have never seen such a powerful performance at the high school level--these kids are truly exceptional!”
“Stunning -- I can’t believe these are highschool kids, handling challenging, provocative, thought-provoking issues with such openness and energy. Inspiring music, sung with heart -- totally engaging and rattling in the best sense. Thank you for a performance I’ll be talking about and remembering for a long time!”
“I did, indeed, “have the time of my life” at this performance!!! Thank you so much to the cast and crew of American Idiot for sharing your amazing talents, and to you Clark for producing Art That TRULY Matters.”
“The amount of energy and passion from the cast is palpable from beginning to end! I can’t wait to see it again! Thanks, Clark, for an outstanding and sensitive production.”
“The cast NAILED it last night!! I was expecting an amazing show. It was better than that; I did not want it to end! So glad I’ll be seeing 7 more performances! AND, the set; pix don’t do it justice. No comparison to how it looks in person. Last, but not least, the band. Could NOT have been better! Again, Clark’s visionary genius is simply mind blowing!!!”
“Not sure mere words can do this show justice. High energy start to finish, amazing vocals, spectacular character portrayals, dynamic execution of Green Day music. This theater troupe just keeps raising the bar with each and every show. Big thanks to Clark for taking on such a challenging show, and congrats to cast and crew for an outstanding opening night. Well done!!”
“From the set, to the performances, to the art on the walls this is an amazing production full of talented performers that address real life issues head on. Courageous performance West Potomac High School -- a standing ovation to the entire team that put this show together. Don’t miss it!”
