I would like to see Michael Arden reprise his role from the San Diego run. He needs to get in a show that doesn't suck so that he can come back to a Broadway stage where he belongs.

I think that they cast perfectly!
Bravo on the casting Eric Schaeffer!

I do think the cast was really great at Signature but I do definately think that the boy playing danny NEEDS to be switched out for Brian D'Addario. Ace should be Cheyenne Jackson, and John Robert should be Stephen Pasquale.

LOL!
Have you seen this production? Angelina Kelly is a superstar. There is no way they’ll replace her.
“…audience falls so instantly and madly for a pint-sized actress named Angelina Kelly, playing the secondary role of playground busybody Emily.
Never mind that precocious little Angelina, in glasses that make her eyes look as large as plums, is preternaturally cute and funny. … From the second she enters partway through Act 1, Angelina's character feels solidly, incontrovertibly alive.”

“Future star (and I mean it; this kid is going to be huge) Angelina Kelly, is sweet, smart and steals every scene she is in as Danny's only friend. She laps up the chance to play the odd kid like cream, and the only disappointing thing about her performance is that there isn't more of it.”

“…the real stars of "Ace" are the two spunky youngsters… Kelly is too cute for words as the nerdy sleuth and amateur psychologist. She knocks home runs with her two perky numbers”

Pretty much across the board the only truly solid performance reviews have been for Angelina Kelly and Emily Skinner. Just read the links above for both of them. Dalton's generally gotten good reviews as well.
