Best Music Director 2015 - 2016

Spring Awakening

"Jeff's musical direction brings out the best in his cast and his musicians. The onstage orchestra sounds terrific." - Tony Annicone, The Theater Mirror

RENT

"Let me start with the orchestra. It seemed like the actors were performing with the original sound track. The orchestra consisted of five musicians under the direction of Jeff Kimball. Their playing was top notch and certainly one of the best theater orchestras I have heard." - Dominique Doiron; Woonsocket Patch

The Full Monty

"Jeff makes this jazzy pop score soar with his 6-piece orchestra while playing lead keyboards. They sound fabulous and he makes the harmonies soar in the numbers." - Tony Annicone, The Theater Mirror
