My family and I attended the opening night of Beauty and the Beast and it was amazing. The cast was phenomenal and the staff was beyond amazing. I highly recommend, if you find the time, to see this.

I have seen the Stephen Foster Story at least 5 times over the past 20 years and it never gets old. Wonderful, talented actors and singers. I will keep coming back. The fireworks were just the icing on the cake!

I came to see the show as a child, born and raised in this area and tonight I returned with my girlfriend from New York. We both were very impressed by the entire cast, production and staff. An amazing show all around, and unique to the area. Thank you to all involved for bringing a wonderful story from long ago to life. Bravo!

Every single time I have been to the Stephen Foster story I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Your surroundings are so beautiful and so Kentucky, which I love. Seeing The Monarchs last night was phenomenal, they are always phenomenal but in this setting it was extra special! Our heart goes out to David. He will be in our prayers daily. He is a phenomenal singer and we pray that God will heal him.

Enjoyed seeing the musical The Stephen Foster Story and getting a glimpse of the anti-slavery stance through his music. Although I have read some original lyrics to his songs were changed.
