Review Quotes
“Roberts’ sound design hurled the audience forward with strong, intense rhythm to further our anticipation.”
“The most exciting aspect of this adaptation are the original music compositions...These lively tunes, which organically emerge in the background and are often accompanied by the actors themselves, are the heartbeat and soul of the show.”
“Roberts’ sound design and original music provides a soundtrack that’s energetic and moody in equal measure, beautifully underscoring the play’s quieter, more serious moments”
“The show also boasts multiple musical numbers and is led by the talented T. Carlis Roberts who also plays multiple instruments throughout the piece.”
“Roberts’ sound and music are apt and often funny.”
“The sound and original music by Roberts with Maritza Cervantes on guitar is perfection.”
“Why is this so catchy? Why isn’t there an album to go with it? Why I ask you? WHY?”
