We've read the book, seen the movie and now we've been able to see this story come to life on your stage. My kids LOVED it (they are 8 and 6)

Thanks for bringing Philly such great children's theater. We keep all our show posters too!

I really enjoyed the play! I have been to Frog and Toad and that was awesome! I loved Aunt Sponge. She was very funny! I have enjoyed all the plays that I've been to at this theatre. Are you going to do the BFG again? I saw this show 12/11. I loved the backround and how it moved. Your characters really envolve with the kids in the audience! I think that the dinosaur was so cool! I love how when the parents run away from the dino and you could see them on the screen. Keep up the good work! Please write back.

I took my 3rd grade class to the 12/11 show and we loved it! James and the Giant Peach has always been one of my favorite books along with the BFG! I was so excited to see the show! I didn't like the movie but I loved the show....I felt like a kid I was so excited! I hope to come to your theatre again!
My favorite part of the movie was when the peach came out from behind the set! It looked so awesome!

I loved the show so much! My favorite part is when,the parents got eaten by the rhino. This is the 12/11 show of James And The Jaint Peach. How come you didn't do the cloud men? In the book my favorite part in the book was the cloud men. It was awesome when my friend got a picture I can't beleve that he got his picture with aunt sponge and aunt spiker! It was just awesome!!! I would love to go there again! But this time I would like to see Frog And Toad. I know I will be able to go there again! I liked your show! One more thing when I go back I would like to feel the rhino!

I realy liked James and the Gaint Peach 12/11 show. My teacher and I liked that Aunt Spiker was a boy. But I realy liked Aunt Spong big butt. It realy craked me up. And the shark looked like spies. I all so loved the spiacal effects. The rino all so craked me up. But my favorit part was when the rino was chasing the people and they disappear and showed up the screen. I realy liked the play.

Love,

My 4yoson Noah says "I loved the giant rhino. I liked when he was running in the aisles."
I was really impressed of the show from a technical perspetive. I thought the staging was quite impressive.

My favorite character were the two aunts, Sponge and Spiker. I think the projections on the screen were really cool. I saw the show on Sat. Dec. 20 at 12 noon.

I think that the play was very creative and I liked how some of the kids got to come down and be a part of the show. My favorite characters were Aunt Sponge and Aunt Spiker.My favorite part was when James came up with great ideas and his bug friends complimented him. It was a great show!

We enjoyed this show immensely! This play was much more entertaining than both the book and the movie.

Also, we appreciated the audience participation and the accessibility of the characters in the lobby to answer questions after the show.

Looking forward to returning for Frog & Toad in the new year.

I thought the show was excellent and there were very funny characters. I liked the ladybug character the best because she was very pretty. James had very good ideas.

Hi

What I thought was great is that the scary parts of hte movie and the book weren't so scary in the play. I didn't really like the singing, though. I liked the house A LOT.

I thought that your play was awesome. I loved how active and expressive you were.in james & the giant peach it looked like you did a lot of practice. Seeing the show made me want to read the book. It was entertaining and funny. My favorite character was the earth worm.
