Authenticity: The Musical

Opening night was amazing and so fun to watch, the energy that this cast brings to this show was absolutely fantastic. The theme was one that is relevant now and was executed with humor and substance. Although we were all left wanting more! I highly recommend watching if you can get tickets. ... full review

Definitely a show to see! In such a short period of time a story, filled with laughs and unexpected heart ache, was formed. I was sad to have it end so quickly! ... full review

What Cassidy and Van Bodegom Smith have placed on stage is an intriguing reversal’s of Edmond Rostand’s Cyrano de Bergerac that counters the rather deplorable theme of the musical Grease.... full review

This was an Awesome Show ! The Music reminded me of Joe Jacksons Jumpin Jive a Big Band Swing with plenty of horns on some of the numbers. Sometimes hard to sit still it was so upbeat. The cast were phenomenal. Their voices and acting show that a lot of thought went in to Casting. Johnny continues to inspire me with his Energy and Enthusiasm. Michael did a great job with the Music. There were a few numbers that were very thoughtful and intentional. A great mix of music everywhere. The storyline was very easy to follow and extremely positive. ... full review

Not much of a musical.... full review

Definitely a must see! Very well written and relatable. Found myself rooting for certain characters and bobbing my head to each musical segment. Movement was impressive and exciting given the size of the stage. Every actor was believable in their roles.... full review

Amazing! The story is so timely and so genuine. Johnny Cassidy did a great job writing and producing this musical. Giancarlo Garritano was incredible as professor Starlson, and his vocals were outstanding! Michael Van Bogedom Smith’s score with additional lyrics and music by Giancarlo Garritano are memorable and singable. BRAVO to the Hussian College Los Angeles In Studio grads, the AMDA grads, and the entire cast and crew who participated in this show! I can’t wait to see it in person on Thursday 8/26/21!!!!... full review
