What a marvelous new show--I loved the story, the music, and the characters. The songs "Glory" and "800 Souls" made me cry. The show itself was exciting, funny, and moving. I saw it on a whim, and now will likely go back and see it again. I can't recommend Glory Ride highly enough! P.S. It was very easy to purchase and redeem ticket through Headout. And the theatre really doesn't have bad seats.

It was a small theatre, so we were sitting next to the stage and could see every emotion of the cast. They were great. Also it is a very hard story in a very hard time, it ends with the power of humanity and let us hope for our future that humanity will survive and win.
