"Technically, the show is aces. Kali Ciesemier's settings are definitely old world style-- three set pieces which either rotate or unfold to reveal various settings, easily identifiable by even the smallest child, and each skillfully drawn and painted in full coloring book style." - BroadwayWorld.com, "Puss in Boots" review |
