I love [Valhalla]! A friend brought me on a Monday and I knew my husband had to see it, so we came back for the closing night. When I saw the YouTube video of the performance, I showed to to my kids, and we’ve now watched it half a dozen times, and have been listening to the soundtrack pretty much nonstop. I loved the characters and the music, and hope to be able to bring my kids to the show someday.Maerhwyn A
I loved [Valhalla] in 2019 and had a such a great time that when I saw the second production in 2021 I was amazed that it could get better. There were so many memorable pieces, the acting and singing were transforming ... The ending felt so ethereal, kind, and uplifting, which is amazing considering the initial promise of “blood and gore” from either Thor or Odin at the beginning of the show. Haha! Beautiful work. I was hard-pressed to take every detailed moment in.Rose L.
My wife and I quite enjoyed [Valhalla]. The music was awesome and the instrumentation very catchy and consistent; we didn’t feel like any track got left in the dust, though we did have a couple favorites.
