Critical Reviews
Proscenium has been well-received at their many performances. Here are some reviews of the group:
-
A capella Fest; a hefty feast for the years
Dan Forman, The Justice, May 1, 2007
Proscenium offered animatedly fun-loving Broadway show tunes from such plays as Little Shop of Horrors and Avenue Q. The group's performance was among the most entertaining of the night, with unique arrangement tricks that incorporated multiple soloists in a single song.

Proscenium channels energetic and expressive sound at spring concert
Michelle Minkoff, The Justice, May 24, 2005
Proscenium, the a cappella ensemble that specializes in show tunes, captured the energy and universal emotions of theater favorites at their April 21 show "Everyone in Khakis!" in the Silver Auditorium, bringing back memories of the audience's first experiences with each of the works performed.
The performers brought enthusiasm to their songs. The show opened on a high note with a solo by Dave Stromes '05 during the light, amusing song "Shiksa Goddess," which, in telling the story of a Jewish man who loves a non-Jewish girl against his mother's protests, seemed especially relevant to Brandeis. -
A capella notes - a review of the singing season

Proscenium - Most Expressive
Founded in the spring of 2000, Brandeis's musical theater a cappella group is named after the rectangular arch above a traditional stage. At the Tympanium Euphorium coffeehouse on Oct. 26, the group showed off their theatrical expressiveness. Sam Levor '07 and Samantha Sagui '06 in "A Whole New World" from Aladdin imitated the magic carpet ride while Mia Winton '07 flirted with the audience during her solo on "Out Tonight" from Rent. First-years Amanda Brown and Andrew Giordano have injected fresh vocal talent into the group.
