...took a bit of time on opening night, breaking up the pace of the narrative.Under the direction of Sullivan, the orchestra played in tune and matched the vim and vigor of the cast in the second half successfully. The music in the first half could have been more crisp and energetic, but the cast’s singing more than made up for it.

...capes, no masks, no problem. The live-action comic book about ordinary folks discovering extraordinary powers transcended geek appeal with a crisp, focused plot and a dose of humor. Special honors go to Masi Oka, who, as time-traveling cubicle jockey Hiro, stood in for every kid (and grownup) who has ever wished he could close his eyes, squint really hard and save the world...
