Creative and Fun. “Tabard is known for their creative approach and this show is no exception. The well cast, fun adaptation of the book is full of minimilist but magical effects, and lots of laughs. the creative two sided staging was challenging, but I think they handled it well, and though the sound could use some tweaking in terms of levels, and mics, the colorful costuming, and props, not to mention the very cute kids, made this an enjoyable evening. Just 1 1/2 hours, and an entertaining intermission certainly makes this a worthwile show to take the family to.”
