Audience & Critic Reviews
Cleveland Play House Audiences:
"Freak the Mighty officially replaced The Wizard of Oz as my favorite musical."
"The kindness, patience, and emotional strength this story asks of its characters—and of us—felt deeply personal."
"What stayed with me were the small, honest moments—the jokes in the middle of fear, the quiet trust, the way they keep choosing each other even when everything around them is broken."
"A friendship that turns a hard, ordinary world into something epic."
"This isn’t just another good musical for me; it’s the one I know I’ll keep coming back to when I need to remember why stories about courage, connection, and real, everyday bravery matter."

"[Freak The Mighty] certainly has what it takes to make it to Broadway. If it does, it’ll be worth bragging that you saw it here first."
Cleveland Scene: "Freak The Mighty has a lot going for it...a feel-good story that introduces tough topics, but still maintains levity"
Mark Horning: "A brilliant musical"
"This is a show that emphasizes the positive influences that we all need to be put on the right track."
