I love this show to begin with, but the LAYT production was great fun for me and my kids. And now they love it too. The leads had great voices and the characters were well performed. The chemistry was palpable. If you get a chance to go see it, you will be pleasantly surprised by these young performers. Collapse

To Los Altos to see this show! Only 4 more performances! I saw it last weekend and laughed, groaned and overall enjoyed all the performers. It was engaging, edgy and cute at the same time. The characterizations and choreography were well done and well presented. The two areas that needed improvement were the volume of the combo and the vocal coaching. It is appropriate for all ages, young children will get the story but the 'adult' humor will whiz by them. If it doesn't and they ask questions, be a good parent and answer them and don't get uptight about it. This show deserves to be sold out for the remainder of their performances. You'll definitely get $15 or gulp $10 worth of entertainment. This reviewer gives it a 'run, don't walk'. Collapse

I went expecting to see a kids show. What I got was anything but! This show was great! From Wolf with his incredible timing, to the beautiful voice of the Serena, to the glorious arrogance of the prince, I was thoroughly entertained. I think the best part was the lack of drop off from the talent of the leads to that of the secondaries and ensamble. Armand Dillo and Goositella were enthralling! My favorite may even have been a set of small ensamble characters - Mrs. Baa and the asian waitress - played by the same girl (sorry I don't remember her name!). The direction was spot on for the stage space. There were a few great choices that I did not see coming - including the slow motion scene. Over all, this is a phenomenal value for $15, or even $10 if you're a student! Go see it! Collapse

This show was ADORABLE! I came the night after opening, and couldn't stop laughing. Many of the leads have great timing and amazing facial expressions. The music is fun and upbeat, with lots of clever lyrics. All of this combined with fun choreography and bright colored costumes make it an ideal fun family outing. I would definitely recommend seeing this show!!! (And no, I'm not related to anyone in the cast! :D ) Collapse

A great comedic piece for any company, youth or adults. I've had the opportunity to see both casts and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. One Serena is lyrical, the other a belter ... each of them shining in different places of the show. In all, the highlights are the main male character, Wolf, and the secondary characters Armand Dillo and Goositella. I've been in theater a long time, and their delivery is spot-on, providing loads of laughs throughout. There's singing and story for children, hilarious dialogue for adults, and fun for the whole family. For $10, it's a great night out for everyone. Collapse

I had to opportunity to see cast A over the weekend and I would recommend that people check this show out, as long as you remember that this is youth theatre. Some of the actors are really good, some are weak and that's O.K. It's a cute show, pretty adult to be done by a youth theatre and that's even after they've removed even more of the adult content!! The show is cleverly written and you'll walk away remember many of the lines and humming a happy tune. It's worth a night out at the theatre. Collapse

This is a high-energy production by a group of young actors who bring depth, wit, and understanding to their characters. The music, Western costumes(complete with bad guys in black hats and good guys in light ones), and wonderful physical comedy all add to the fun. Recommended! Collapse
