" 'In a Musical, you have to sing and act, both.'  For this combination, no company or college theater department in the Hudson Valley creates a finer fusion than casts playing in New York Conservatory for the Arts productions. . . . . . There are no cartoon characters here, no clichés, no vocal narcissism - every word, spoken or sung, furthers the drama. . . . . these singing actors are also acting dancers."

   - Daily Freeman Theatre Review by Kitty Montgomery

"To Randy Conti and The NYCA Family,
     Every show has a load of details that demands attention. But CATS has a few extra tons to bare, i.e. make-up, wigs, and accessories. With only a few phone conversations, reams of make-up design illustrations and Wig Application Manuals, your company created for itself a true-blue CATS. We are certain your audience members felt as if they were taken back in time to The Winter Garden. 

     We could not help but notice, from your performance pictures, that this cast has an ease about themselves - an ease that only comes from good, solid, theatrical training. Something great is happening in Hurley, New York.
     Only with CATS can kudos be given for re-creating the original. One only needs to look at pictures from the London/DVD production to know NYCA is rich. . . very, very rich with talent.
     We at Cats Wigs 2 Go, and The Riverside Dinner Theater applaud cast, crew and staff of The New York Conservatory for the Arts."
