​"The right idea for a new musical is about half the battle for it to be a commercial success. The other half, of course, is getting the writing and music right. In the case of The Flint Repertory Theatre’s world premiere of The Magnificent Seven, the production team has gotten this work about the 1996 Olympic Gymnastics team very right."

​David Kiley, Encore Michigan
"This stunning production... is intriguing, entertaining, and most of all a deep dive into the pressure and pleasure of world competition, all set to music."

"There is a lot to savor in this production. Wonderfully directed by Catie Davis and choreographed by Duane Lee Holland Jr., the play moves smoothly and with rhythmic synchrony."

​​Kathleen Kirby, Flint Stages
"It is a rare stage production that can manage to give equal time and weight to seven different characters, but The Magnificent Seven succeeds beautifully. Every gymnast has a story, a dream, a flaw, a heartbreak. Every character has her solos and moments in the limelight."

"With its mixture of praise for the sport and its athletes and criticism of the abusive aspects, The Magnificent Seven can be seen as a nuanced work of cultural criticism. It celebrates the champions of the 1996 Olympics, but it never lets the audience forget the cost."

​Bridgette M. Redman, Culture Writer
