A soap-opera patchwork of worn backstage cliches.

Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel

A poor man's Fame. If you can live with that, it makes for a somewhat entertaining experience.

Kathy Cano Murillo, Arizona Republic

Fame may seem silly in retrospect, but Camp, with its dippy dialogue and characters revealing even less complexity than the ones from 42nd Street, arrives silly.

You'll have trouble keeping your toes from tapping.

The kids have energy to burn, and you can't help but marvel at the polish they bring to a variety of numbers from a variety of musicals.

Robert Denerstein, Denver Rocky Mountain News
