“While Neeley is the obvious star, one voice stands out in this cast as being by far the best. Craig Sculli in the role of Pontius Pilate is superior in every aspect. [With] his vocal control, warmth, depth and articulation, Sculli outshines even the brightest stars in the cast. This is a voice to listen for in the future. It holds the promise of great things.” (The Post-Crescent; FOX CITIES PAC)
