REVIEWS
"Favorite individual performance: Zach Woods in Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story"...Best Revue Concept: Music Theatre of Madison's Miscast
-Christian Nehaus, Dane101.com, in his year end review of Madison theatre
"The Music Theatre of Madison performance of Floyd Collins is the best performance of what has become a 'cult' musical that you are ever likely to see."
-Roger Brucker, co-author of Trapped!, the nonfiction book on which Floyd Collins is based.
"The two have chemistry and an admirable believability on the small stage, where every nuance counts. MTM founder and artistic director Meghan Randolph directs this production, and her spare style plays effectively in this space."
-Lindsay Christians, 77 Square on Thrill Me "Music Theatre of Madison conjures a great production...Frankly, it takes guts for two actors to bare themselves with so little to hide behind, and Milisch and Randolph are both solid, likable singers and actors... Music Theatre of Madison makes the experience a worthwhile one, conjuring moments that are truly funny and truly sad." -Jennifer A. Smith, The Isthmus, on john & jen "Milisch and Randolph are, by any standard, exceptional performers." Assassins was named in "Best Bets" by the Capital Times for the weekend of August 9-11, 2007 "For the extraordinary performances of its core cast, Assassins is recommended." -Jay Rath, The Wisconsin State Journal "All in all, the evening was a lovely indulgence in a summer soon-to-be over guilty pleasure sort of way, a visual and auditory spectacular suitable for authentic hippies and post-hippies alike." "Note should be given to Meghan Randolph and her new Music Theatre of Madison. New York’s loss is our gain. Her production of “Violet” had the best cast of the year. Every actor was right. It’s the difference between professional and amateur." -Philip Wissbeck, Dane101.com, in his 2006 year end review of theatre in Madison.
