With Frenchy and Radar (and, yes, she watched the show) after the show!
The rest of the cast was good as well. There wasn't a single person who made the show into a negative experience when they were on stage.
While Godeaux was certain a major standout in talent, Kamri Howeth as Betty Rizzo and Addison Hernandez as Sandy Dumbrowski certainly were also stand out performers.
It was appreciated that the music was balanced so that most of the time the cast could be heard singing or talking over it as many times this is not the case in community (or even college and professional) theatres.
The onlyl negative in the show was that at times when cast members were not facing out towards the audience and at times perhaps not sure of their lines, they were difficult to hear.
The set was great with a balcony that was easy believable to be both inside of a high school and also outside of a high school. The lights underneath the balcony made it so it was easy to believe it to be a hallway, a gym, and an outside balcony at the points that it was needed to be any of the things.
The brick design was a great idea, though it would've been nice if the bricks looks a bit more like they had a brick texture. However, none of that took away from the show. They were not distacting and when it was dark on stage, it couldn't be seen that the texture was missing.
The shading of the bricks was excellent and did make them look as though they were worn.
