MARY POPPINS
“THE must-see show of the season… Dean’s List ‘A’”

Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun-Times
“Enchanting spectacle… brilliant production.”
Denise Crosby, Beacon-News
“I was blown away by the entire experience. Kudos to the entire cast and crew…top quality in all ways.”

“We have never been disappointed in any of the productions at the Paramount. The actors are amazing and the staging is spectacular. We keep saying, ‘Why would anyone go into the city when the Paramount performances are available!'”

LES MISERABLES
“Amazing, amazing production… easily one of the best productions that I’ve ever seen of Les Mis from top to bottom”

“Les Mis was the most incredible show that I have seen at the Paramount and the best Les Mis production I have seen. Way to go Paramount!”

“Having grown up outside of New York City and attending numerous on and off Broadway productions, we can say–without hesitation–that the caliber of the Paramount performances is as good–if not better–than anything on Broadway!”
