6/15/09 Magic Tree House: The Musical - Wraps Up !
Magic Tree House: The Musical (the Broadway-style musical adaptation of the Magic Tree House® series of books) recently wrapped up a successful 8 month, 55 city U.S Tour. Many venues had complete sell-outs, and attendance was excellent across all regions.
The reviews and feedback were unanimously positive...
"In order to create the next generation of theatre goers, performing arts facilities have an obligation to present the very best in children's theatre. "Magic Tree House - The Musical" is just that - the very best! With superb production values, this colorful and creative production enthralled children of all ages. It was such a delight to see a full production with ample scene changes and large scale dragon puppets. This production clearly refuses to short change children by acknowledging the fact that young people are as equally deserving as adults when it comes to high production values. The ensemble was strong, the music was beautiful and the story was extremely well adapted from Mary Pope Osborne's much loved book. As a presenter, our aim was to delight and engage children so deeply through the theatrical experience that they would then want to read the rest of her books. The production does this easily. Parents and teachers alike have told the Freed Center that their children have all requested reading the books either in class or at home. I have no hesitation in recommending this delightful children's production."
