The Reviews are In!!
...The cast, mostly non-union, is so talented with voices that are on par with any Broadway show....
...Madison Kauffman is a delight as Barbie the unicorn loving teen, who lives in her own world concealing her loneliness and abandonment issues....
...Numbers Nerds is a likeable, sweet quite entertaining musical...
One of the welcomed distinctions about the new musical “Number Nerds” is that its creation was prompted in response to the need for more female roles available for the high school, college, and community theater circuit. In that respect, it successfully targets that audience with lighthearted comedy, energetic music and a book that promotes good moral values.
...Girls need good role models, and this show manages to encompass all the problems of teens – minus the sex and drug issues – and does it in a way that everyone can relate to. We should all be able to learn this way...
...The unicorn reverie of Barbie is captured perfectly by the fanciful behavior of Madison Kauffman concealing her loneliness...
