"Beautiful music makes me cry. Wrenching drama makes me cry. I wasn’t prepared to have Footloose make me cry. But when the Rev. Shaw Moore bares his soul to his congregation before the musical’s final scene, it’s impossible to choke back some tears." —Diana Nollen with the The Cedar Rapids Gazette.

"The Old Creamery Theatre cranks up the volume in that 80’s classic, Footloosewith an enormously talented cast, including Creamery newcomers that are up and comers. . . . That brings us to the young people in this exceptional cast. They are so much fun to watch, from the electric, big group musical numbers to their brilliant solos. Old Creamery newcomer Seth Hunter is delightful; a great dancer, excellent vocalist and perfectly cast as Ren, the city kid who has to has to hang up his dancing shoes to conform to this town. We’ve long been big fans of the exceptional Katie Colletta. Now doing star turn as Ariel Moore, her big voice and big stage presence are put to very good use. It’s so much fun to see her paired with Hunter who matches her ability. Their duet “Almost Paradise,” is exceptional. The audience responded to Maggie Saunders as Ariel’s best friend, Rusty, and her number, “Let’s Hear it for the Boy” was one of my favorites of the night. Keegan Christopher’s performance of “Mama Says” as Ren’s buddy Willard was another highlight and we must add that Christopher and wife, Katie Colletta, choreographed this show, quite a feat." — Emilie Hoppe with the Amana Bulletin.
