Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Jarrow makes the whole system look like a ridiculously elaborate scheme to separate the gullible from their savings, simply by presenting Hubbard's ideas as earnestly as possible. And because the show is cast with actual children--a hugely appealing group of them in Steve Wilson's staging for A Red Orchid Theatre--it manages the rare feat of being scathing and adorable at the same time."

"...A Red Orchid’s Youth Ensemble brings more professionalism to the material than many adults on the scene today; their high-energy performances thankfully avoid the saccharine quality that can be some young actors’ stock in trade. Kudos to Adam Rebora and Najwa Brown for inventive work in very sophisticated material. Steve Wilson’s competent direction keeps things hopping; Kyle Jarrow’s book and lyrics are sly and funny."

"...As the title says, and the stagebill elucidates, the production "is in no way affiliated with or endorsed by the Church of Scientology or any organization other than A Red Orchid Theatre." Those who do support that Church will find this "pageant" less entertaining than those who agree with the show's point-of-view, but perhaps any Scientologists who catch it can still cheer for the talented young thetan/thespians on stage performing it in great musical comedy fashion."
