Go Dog Go! Ve Perro ¡Ve! presented by Chicago Children's Theatre at The Station

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...This production weaves together English and Spanish organically, not simply repeating each line in both languages but rather bouncing between them and using repetition and context clues to help listeners understand, no matter which of the two they speak at home. Eastman?s book, with its focus on simple words such as colors and prepositions, is perfectly suited to this approach. With their youthful aptitude for languages, the kids in the audience are likely to learn new vocabulary, while English-speaking adults just might find the Spanish they studied in high school awakening from slumber."

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Watching clown dogs navigate streets in dog cars or sort out sandwiches is a revelation and a precious moment away from stress. It?s a chance to sit with your child, laugh together, and revel in simple joys and manageable conflicts. Dogs roller-skating? Trees turning blue? Hasta la fiesta de la perrera!"

Around The Town Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...In many ways, watching this slick production ( 70 minutes with no intermission) is like watching a pop-up book come to life as we learn about the different dogs. From the onset, when MC Dog takes the stage ( a remarkable performance by Jean Carlos Claudio), the children become mesmerized by him. His eyes are bright, his smile a delight and his movement quite graceful. All of the dogs are powerful, with each having their own something special."

Third Coast Review - Highly Recommended

"...Nothing says willing suspension of disbelief like children watching a show. For the young ones gathered at Chicago Children's Theatre's world premiere of a new version of Go, Dog, Go, disbelief just didn't have a chance. P.D. Eastman's 1961 classic, adapted for the stage over 20 years ago by Steven Dietz and Allison Gregory and now turned into a bilingual musical, Go, Dog, Go (Ve Perro ?Ve!) lets everyone go doggy for 65 minutes of primary-colored delight."

Chicago Culture Authority - Highly Recommended

"...Adapted from the P.D. Eastman picture book by Allison Gregory and Steven Dietz, with music composed by Michael Koerner, the show makes a tasty meal out of the brief, surreal story (though it could stand to lose about 10 minutes judging by some of the restless tykes at the opening)."
