Reviews:

"Meet Me In St. Louis is a delightful Christmas gift to longtime supporters of Schenectady Light Opera Company."

 
"Spooner (Ester) is grinning and charismatic and dives into the role with real enthusiasm. At times her speaking voice eerily resembles Garland's unmistakable timbre" 

- Michael Eck -Times Union

 

"SLOC director Orlando Pigliavento has a special holiday present for you: a bright dollhouse of a production of "Meet Me In St. Louis" in a big blue box. Unwrap it!" 

- Paul LaMar -The Daily Gazette

 

"The good cheer that came across the footlights on Friday is a tribute to Pigliavento (Director), who has filled the stage with performers who clearly love to sing, dance and act."
