I thought I was bringing my children to a musical just for them, but the show validates the feelings of worn-out parents too. The show was well cast, has a creative well-used set, good pacing, and delivered both laughs and tears. It was great.
"This show succeeds in its fun. After this ATMTC production, children and adults leave... with a smile on their face."
