Review by Carmen A. Goldberg: Kevin Davis' Play "One in a Million Musical" 2017

Cast of "One in a Million Musical" 

The Third Run of "One in a Million Musical" was Hot!

I went to see “One in a Million Musical” the other day and what an exciting event it was.  The cast of characters reminded me of the characters that we all live with, work with and worship with, in the day-to-day.  Some are  earnest, levelheaded, straight shooters, others disfunctional, others a bit sensual, ambitious and at times overzealous.


This is the third run of "One in a Million." Everyone was great, but there were some actors whose acting, dancing, singing and great talent jumped out at me more than others, but all in all one can truly see all of the time and hard work

that went into this production and one has to realize that it takes talent, imagination and a great deal of resourcefulness to put on a production this size and I have to say that Kevin Davis' magnificently talented hand, is all over this amazing production.

What I loved most about OIMM is that the production brings God into the equation and makes us ponder who we are, our wants and desires and how we must try to strike a balance between all of our needs and wants and what it is that our Creator truly wants for us [which is usually far better than our own wishes and desires].  The play brings to the forefront, the realization that God wants us to yield our wills and our behavior to God, whether we find ourselves in good health, or illness, whether we experience loss, poverty or wealth, and that it is best for us to realize, that when we walk with God, what little we might indeed have, will always be sufficient, because our peace and joy come from above.

The “One in a Million Musical” reminds us how important friends and family can be and yet, how the joy and satisfaction of a Lottery ticket and the wealth it brings, pales in comparison to the genuine love, loyalty and warmth of God's love and God's intentions for us and the genuine love of family and real friendship.

“One in a Million Musical sparkles for its beautiful message and it brings to life, that special joy that you feel or might happen to be missing during the Holiday Season.  All that you seek out of a holiday season production, angst, frustration, love, joy, family and friends, is all right up there for you to experience and enjoy.  Yes, the good, the bad and even the not so pretty stuff.  It is who we all are or have been at one time or another.  Kevin, does not fail to remind his audience of that, and yet he gives us that touch of magic at the end that we all need this season.  Thank you Kevin!

Director, producer Kevin Davis out did himself. Every moment of the musical is filled with wonderful choreography, dancing, great choral singing, excitement and thought provoking humor and the production does what its writer set out to do, awaken us, taunt us, humor us, cheer us and even comfort and assure us that we are loved by God.

The show offers beautiful musical arrangements that carry you, so lively at times that you want to stand up and dance, bringing the audience an infusion of various genres, ranging from pop, to jazz, to salsa, to rap, to reggae, gospel and more.

If you missed this stellar set of performances of "One in a Million Musical" I am sorry to say that you missed a great opening to the 2017 Holiday season!  Perhaps if you keep a good calendar and a good eye for great productions, you will set out to experience the next run of this jewel of a show!

"One in a Million Musical is not just a musical.  It is an experience."
