The cast includes...Gilbert D. Sanchez (Richie Valens), who sings and dances a great 'La Bamba.'"

"Leading the cast of engaging clowns is Gilbert D. Sanchez as Jesus. Sanchez looks like a young Daniel Sunjata (what could be bad?), and projects all the warmth, humor, and decency needed to draw us in and make us care about this youthful preacher. He has a strong, clear voice, and is an engagingly physical pe

"The whole cast deserves kudos! Take Gilbert D. Sanchez, as Jesus. He owns the stage!" 

                                                                                                                                                                                                      -Garry Chattman, Westchester Arts & Education Review

"Gilbert Sanchez is a clean-cut, angelic-sounding Jesus... the handsome actor exudes a gentle charisma..."

"It's almost always a mistake to cast Gilbert D. Sanchez in a supporting role, because  he's always going to be the most charismatic guy in the room, but it works here. He tones it down a bit as Michael, the best friend, and as usual is excellent...With a smile that deserves its own zip code, emotive eyes, and a voice out of Andrew Lloyd Webber's dream, he should find success...
