    Great Adaptation

    by Rahiembrooks on 4/20/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    This play was smoothly adapted from the novel, Miss Nelson is Missing. The song selection and stage usage was great and effectively conveyed the themes in the book, some of which were hilarious. It was a very children friendly play, and a must see for smaller misbehaved children.

    My family enjoyed the show. Our ages range from 2 through 59. The hour went by so fast with no crying or fidgety kids!

    Miss Nelson is Missing

    by Haooy on 4/16/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    My husband and I took our 6 and 11 year old boys they really enjoyed the play. I witnessed a lot of smiles and laughter from them. I thought the cast was fantastic and they did a great job of engaging the audience. I think this is a must see and I would give this a 5 star rating.

    Miss Nelson was good, but not fabulous

    by Kar1212 on 4/16/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    The show was cute, but the janitor was using a lot of incorrect grammar which was annoying. "I never seen anything like it" and things like that. For a kids show, maybe they could work on that.

    Miss Nelson Is Missing!

    by Summer05 on 4/13/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    Loved the book and the play. Loved the songs and set design. I didn't like the long wait for the play to start. A children's play, should start on time. Kids are hard to hold there attention. I think they held play because a school trip was running late. Not sure. But, the wait was not expected.

    Great experience for little ones

    by Rena37 on 4/13/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    I was so glad to see a classic, one book i believe every child knows. It was funny, and well played out and the show was 1 hr which is just the amount of time to keep their attention.

    do yourself a favor - miss Miss Nelson!

    by momto2cuties on 4/9/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    This show was honestly the worst I've ever been to, hands down. The music is awful, the story line a waste of time... no redeeming qualities. I took my family thinking it would be a fun twist to an old classic, but alas, it was pure drivel. Save yourself time and money - not to mention a headache - and miss Miss Nelson is Missing.

    Miss Nelson is missing was much better than I expected. The length was just right for kids, the actors were really good, the singing and choreography was great, and great use of props and stage. I also laughed a lot. I'm not sure who enjoyed it more, me or the kids.

    Miss Nelson

    by loverofwalnut on 4/9/12Walnut Street Theatre - Philadelphia

    My daughter, 7, liked it very much. My son, 3, was scared when Miss Nelson turned into Viola who looked like a witch. Overall, we enjoyed the play. I think it is a good value.
