Star Tribune - Somewhat Recommended
"...Despite his cheerful opening number “Rise Up,” Jonas is more intent on lifting the townspeople’s wallets than their spirits. He tries to win over Marla (Emily Jansen), who turns out to be the sheriff, and a lonely widow to boot — her husband died in a car crash that left her teenage son, Jake (Andrew Hey), wheelchair-bound. Jake wants to walk again, and becomes a true believer in Jonas’ message, giving Jonas second thoughts about his criminal career."

How Was The Show - Recommended
"...So. If you demand that the plays you attend make sense, build appropriately, and are performed by experienced and seasoned performers, well, Leap Of Faith may not be for you. But for pure verve and fire, this may well be your cup o’ tea. Definitely see-worthy."

One Girl Two Cities - Highly Recommended
"...New Century Theatre almost felt too small for such a big show, but MMT has played this one just right. From uplifting music to a dynamic cast, a well-told story and excellent use of space, Leap of Faith is a feel-good musical that's fun for the whole family."
