"A show intended for children and yet there is not one iota of condescension or compromise in it. Michael Valenti's music can best be described as romantic light opera. Elsa Rael's lyrics possess a delicate simplicity and never talk down to the audience. Hardly typical children's fare" ~ N.Y. Theatre Review
"Has a magic all its own" ~ Chicago Tribune
"A beauty of a production" ~ Chicago Sun Times
