Review Quotes
JHP Entertainment - October 15, 2026
"Each and every one of the young performers bring plenty of personality and enthusiasm to the production, creating a convincing sibling dynamic that helps the family feel like a family rather than a collection of talented youngsters waiting for their musical cues. Cooper Johnson‘s Frederich shows eagerness to step up into the man of the family role, yet retains a youthful uncertainty. Lilly Belle Lanese‘s Louise possesses one of the most incredible voices of the younger cast. As Kurt, Charlie Palmer‘s playfulness infectious. Stormie Piper Trevino‘s little instigator, Brigitta, whose observances become pivotal to the romantic rise, is a firecracker. Rory L. Prichard‘s Marta exemplifies the sweetness of a young girl eager to bond with her new governess. Emma Rose Marinoff‘s Gretl is a pint-size scene stealer. “Do-Re-Mi” is every bit as delightful as it should be, while “So Long, Farewell” delivers that irresistible blend of playfulness and charm that has made it a perennial audience favorite. The children are an essential part of the show’s charm, and this ensemble gives the musical plenty of heart."
BroadwayWorld Nashville - October 14, 2026
"I’m sure that most of the audience was curious about how well the child actors were going to be in a touring production this size. Thankfully, the von Trapp children I got to see were as lovable and talented as the ones I saw in the movie. Gretl was my second-favorite child growing up, and I thought that Emma Rose Marinoff was adorable in the role. As soon as I saw her, I thought, “Oh, the audience is going to love her”. I was right, as she got a lot of laughs and “awws” out of the audience. Rory L. Prichard was cute as Marta. I smiled when she delivered the famous line about the pink parasol. Someone give this sweetheart a pink parasol pronto. I mentioned earlier that one of the von Trapp children gave Nicolas Rodriguez a run for his money, and that child was Stormie Piper Treviño as Brigitta. She was just so sassy, yet also so collected for a child. Kurt was my favorite von Trapp growing up, and Charlie Palmer played the part so well. He was so funny and lovable, and his vocal range is incredible. I honestly don’t think that the role of Louisa gets too much time to shine, but that’s probably mostly based on what I know from the movie version. Regardless, Lilly Belle Lanese makes sure that she gets her own spotlight. Whether she’s by herself or interacting with a sibling, she makes sure that she is noticed. Cooper Johnson is charming as Friedrich. He brings so much energy to the role, and he gets along well with the rest of the children. I won’t say exactly what is going on in this scene because I don’t want to spoil it, but Cooper and Charlie had to crawl out from under a set piece at one point, and it got the biggest laugh out of me. There was no way they were comfortable being under there for over a minute, but props to them were doing it. "
BroadwayWorld Houston - September 30, 2026
"each child (Cooper Johnson as Friedrich, Lilly Belle Lanese as Louisa, Charlie Palmer as Kurt, Stormie Piper Trevino as Brigitta, Rory L. Prichard as Marta and Emma Rose Marinoff as Gretl) manages to establish a distinct personality while still working together as a convincing family unit. Their comic timing and youthful energy bring a vitality that builds as the show goes on."
