Gary Goldstein Los Angeles Times It's impossible not to root for these driven, high-spirited participants - and for the longevity of this invaluable program. Rated: 3/5 Apr 5, 2012 Full Review John Anderson Variety Alex Rotaru's very busy docu focuses more on the kids' stories than on their work; considering how sensational some of them are, it's probably a strategic advantage. Mar 10, 2012 Full Review Sara Stewart New York Post Director Alex Rotaru could have focused more; three or four really compelling stories are scattered among a handful of others. Rated: 2/4 Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Mattie Lucas From the Front Row It's not just showing us a charming or unusual event we've never heard of, it's promoting something fundamental. Rated: 3/4 Aug 6, 2019 Full Review Ethan Alter Television Without Pity It never hurts to be reminded how fun and important the theater arts are to a young person's education. Mar 9, 2012 Full Review Marshall Fine Hollywood & Fine There's a formula to this kind of documentary and Shakespeare High is no exception. Give it a shot; you'll be surprised how quickly you get caught up in these kids' worlds. Mar 8, 2012 Full Review Read all reviews
