I saw this show tonight, and it was brilliant! Bring at least one Kleenex. You’re going to need it! It is well worth the trip to St. Thomas to see it.

Excellent performance this afternoon. So moving and riveting! Don’t be surprised if you have tears in your eyes at some points, because the subject matter is so emotional. The actors are so professional and so amazing! This is a show not to be missed.

I just saw this play. The directors are phenomenal. The play is very powerful. The actor that played “The Elephant Man” was superb. His expressions with the words was brilliant. He captured the body movements of the Elephant Man [...] It is a must see!
