Remake of best bedtime story ever 'tis better!
by OldNews on 5/20/14Apollo Theater - ChicagoAs a child my Mom always complied with reread requests for my favorite bedtime story 'Three Little Pigs'. The playwrights deserve a standing ovation for their wonderful recreation for the stage of this fear/anxiety managing message where loving cooperation conquers all. Whether you're 3 or 63 (like me), the songs, dancing, and enthusiastic performances of Emerald City's talented actors delight. With wiggling butts and wagging tails for necessary comic relief, I didn't find any nightmarish scenes in this pre-schooler scary tale. Creative designers comforted kids with a set of quilted housing and pillowed props that popped. Thanks, Emerald City, for producing this pleasant, wide-awake, morning matinee that revived a childhood dream.
