Robert McKinney, reviewer for the Bristol Virginia Herald Courier writes that:

“Green Gables is well on its way to becoming a classic musical beloved by far more adults than children although it easily speaks to both.”

As the Barter Theatre noted in its ad promos, audiences of all ages “laugh, cry and jump to their feet” at every performance.

"It is rare to find a musical that really moves you – that for whatever reason touches something very deep.  That was my first reaction to GREEN GABLES. Perhaps it was the classic story from which it is so masterfully adapted. Perhaps it was the music that captured my ear so quickly and reminded me of why I went into musical theatre in the first place. This is one of those rare ensemble pieces of theatre that can transport the audience with words and music – this is what excites me as a director - it challenges me - and in the end, it makes me very proud to have been a part of it."
