The Princess and the Pea Reviews
Around The Town Chicago- Highly Recommended
"...Theater for young audiences! That is the name that Marriott Theatre has chosen for its “children’s Theater Program” and I for one like it. These are shows that have stories most children are familiar with but now they get to see it live, on a stage with music. In addition to having a wonderful hour of fun, they are in many ways being trained to enjoy live theater. They learn to be quiet, unwrap their candy, turn off their I-whatever? and of course to be neighborly and respect those who are sitting around them. This will be important in adulthood. I wish that more theater audiences has had this training decades ago."
Chicagoland Musical Theatre- Highly Recommended
"...The Marriott Theatre for Young Audiences never fails to provide its patrons with new and entertaining adaptations of classic fairy tales. These shows make the perfect date for you and the little ones you love. The Princess and the Pea, with music written by Marc Robin, book and lyrics by Rick Boynton and additional lyrics by Curt Dale Clark and Marc Robin, is the Marriott's current production, its latest in a fine line of hour-long (give or take) children's productions."
Chicago Theater and Arts- Recommended
"...Directed and choreographed by Aaron Thielen with music direction by Patti Garwood, the show is a delightful, updated romp through a classic fairytale whose moral for youngsters now, is "to write your own story.""
