I am so excited about this series! I love musicals but haven't been to the theater lately and feeling the withdrawal.
A Week Away isn't only an entertaining musical, but also a wholesome, fun, and meaningful Christian series on Angel. It follows teenagers navigating challenges and changes in their lives while at summer camp.
Even though the series' focus is on young adults, I still enjoyed it tremendously. The enthusiasm, dancing, and singing is so engaging and left me feeling inspired. (The renditions of Amazing Grace touched me so deeply!)
The music is infectious, the dancing is so fun to watch, and the acting is over-the-top and comical. But even though humor is evident and the stereotypes of Christian camp and its campers are riddled throughout, the underlying messages are incredibly evocative. Max is relatable, Lennie is sweet, and Charlie is easy to empathize with, but the spotlight performance (for me) is the youth pastor, Jeremy, who comes off as authentic, caring, and a shining light for God.
With themes of faith, hope, love, and the healing power of friends and family, this show is sure to touch your heart and encourage you. I especially appreciate how "family" isn't always represented by the one you were born into, which is especially significant to those raised in dysfunctional, challenged, or non-traditional homes. Sometimes "found families" can be just as impactful.
This series is fun, and the messages are poignant and potentially life changing.
Many thanks to Angel for providing a sample of the product for this review. Opinions are 100% my own.
