"The show’s romantic leads are the fateful Sarah (Kyrie Courter) and Coalhouse (Derrick Davis), whose brilliant onstage chemistry is outmatched only by their breathtaking vocal performances.

In terms of raw vocal strength, Courter and Davis are among the top three absolute powerhouses of this production. During Courter’s first solo song, “Your Daddy’s Son,” she delivers an emotional gut-punch of a performance, hitting one tear-filled note after another.

During the song’s handful of false outros, one could see the audience eagerly checking to hear if the coast was clear to burst into applause. Once she let go of that final note, the room exploded with cheers." - David Taylor
