"I thought the show was excellent. The performers carried the show off very well. The singing was great as was the dancing. I have seen the movie and this stage production was comparable. I fully recommend everyone see this show"

"What a powerful group of singers! I can't believe that they can do this every day of the week...and twice on Wednesdays and Sundays! Everyone has a job to make a living, and entertaining certainly is not at the top of my ladder. But I have to say, when they are good, they are very very good.....excellent and beyond. These ladies and gents met everything I could have imagined for a wonderful afternoon out! Their performances were beyond expectations!"
—Cheryl, Abbotsford

"It was great music wound around life's interesting love stories"

"A high energy show with wonderful talent. I was happy to introduce my friend from Whitehorse to the Arts Club. I was able to obtain tickets at the very last minute for a reasonable price. Thank you"
—Margaret, Coquitlam

"I enjoyed the play very much. Everyone in the play were excellent especially the actress who played Effie and the actor who played Jimmy. They were outstanding. Since it was based on the Supremes, I thought there would have been more music from the Supremes. Most of the music was unfamiliar to me but it was still enjoyable"
—Gerry, Coquitlam

"Amazing talent with exceptional voices and a fabulous orchestra"

—Lynna

"Fantastic show! Lots of fun and very entertaining! Aurianna Angelique's voice is outstanding!"
