I took my husband and 2 boys (7 and 5 y/o) - both enjoyed the performance. The atmosphere is kid-friendly and the pace is bearable for most kids. I would recommend it.

Just "Ok." We attended a 2pm performance and the theater was filled with kids who were obviously bored and more interested in kicking seats, listening to ipods, and running up and down aisle. Between the distractions of the children around me and the incessant crying of a newborn who's parents must have decided was adding atmosphere to the performance, I found it difficult to enjoy.

The performance itself was mediocre at best. There is clearly more work needed, especially amongst the more junior members of the cast. The featured dancers were good, however, some of their support for the dance numbers could use a bit more time in training. Timings were off, stage positioning forgotten, and stage fright was apparent.

I would feel robbed if I had paid full price for these tickets and, even at a 50% discount, I felt it was barely tolerable.
