“It’s a charming production that sheds light on what constitutes “kid friendly”: bright colors, quick scene changes, lots of props and an atmosphere tolerant of chattering, squealing audience members.” (The New York Times)

“Keith Michael has made an hour mini ballet intended primarily for little kids but equally enchanting for ancients like me. It’s completely ingenious the way he deploys the pretty cut-out scenery and the equally charming costumes and it’s extraordinary the way he accomplishes so much with so small an ensemble. What’s more, the choreography is musical and inventive and fun. These are committed dancers, at much at home in this classic as they were in Tudor, Cunningham and Alston the last time I saw them.” (New York Observer)
