“a fireball four-person rock band exuding a caffeinated buzz… One of the production’s standout moments, in fact, is “Green, Green Dress,”… (director Matt) Gardiner packs this number with a thrilling erotic charge.” -Celia Wren, Washington Post
"first-class singing and acting.” -Richard Massabny, Arlington Channel 69
"Smith's talent explodes in 'Boom!'” -Brad Hathaway, Potomac Stages
"Most charming Stephen Gregory Smith commands the stage brilliantly with such ease that one would think he was born to play this role…” -Bob Anthony, AllArtsReview4U.com
"A genuinely sweet portrayal of (Jon) by Stephen Gregory Smith, assisted by the dynamic voices and stage presence of Felicia Curry as his love interest and Matt Pearson as Mike, the best friend, and music by Jonathan Larson that rocks and melts your heart on a dime."- DC Theatre Scene
"The red-hot band, music director is Derek Bowley, pulsates to the drumbeat and rocks the house at every opportunity...The thrusting rhythms, the wailing guitar solos, the head banging beat-all the basic elements of the School of Rock are there, packaged in a storyline about a regular guy with soaring dreams. What’s not to love?"- DC Theatre Scene
