      Very energetic performance, and suitable for kids.
      I wish they could have sat closer to the stage, the rush tickets really are far away. Maybe if you offered a family package?
      I’ve loved everything I’ve seen at the Phillips center

      AMAZING!! I was really excited to see this performance but I never imagined it would be that good. Not at one moment was I bored and when it was over I actually had tears in my eyes. These kids can dance!!

      This show was not what was expected, however very high energy, which was fun to watch. The story line was a little slow, but since it was based on real events what can you expect?

      The word fabulous does not even equal their performance. I took my 7 year old grandson who clapped and screamed with exuberance throughout the whole show. It flowed so wonderfully, with no glinches in the changes story line while changing scenery. I though Groovaloo would have been for the younger set but boy was I wrong, It reached many ages, and from the applause, it was well received from the audience at the Phillips Center. Bravo for picking them and bring them back soon,

      We all enjoyed this show so very, very much. It was so informative and a great show for children to understand. I do hope they come back again next year.

      I totally enjoyed the Groovaloo perfomance! I have new-found respect and appreciation the artform of hip-hop. I also appreciated the attendace of so many young people in the audience at the Phillips.
