The NW Children's Theater production of The BFG was delightful! I took my son and family. My two grandsons (ages 3 and 5) were enthralled from beginning to end. It's not easy to keep an active 3-year old engaged for 90 minutes, so that's high praise indeed. Sets,costumes, lighting and music were great. Most of the cast played multiple roles, and seamlessly made costume changes. And who doesn't love a running wizpopping joke? Gotta love Roald Dahl.

My boys (9 and 7 yrs old) enjoyed the matinee.

The BFG was a wonderful experience. My whole family thoroughly enjoyed it. I have a 7 and almost 10 year old both of whom are very familiar with the book; it was perfect for them. It was our first time seeing this theater group. The production was top notch, the seat were very good and the acting was terrific! Especially the BFG, he was OUTSTANDING. Along with a fabulously talented Sophie. The meet and greet after the show was a wonderful added bonus:) Thanks Goldstar! And thanks Northwest Children's Theater of Portland!!!

This production is a delightful visual presentation of my favorite Dahl story. The actor who portrays the BFG perfectly captures his charm, both physically and verbally. Just enough of the precious dialogue between the BFG and Sophie is preserved and the representation of the human bean-eating giants is pitch-perfect - slightly menacing but not frightening. While the BFG stole the show, the other cast members - notably the actors who played Sophie and the Queen - were wonderful, too.
