Read the books, then see the shows LIVE at the Walnut! Skippyjon Jones is a little kitten with big ears and even bigger dreams!

But when Skippyjon is challenged by a bullying bee, will he be a 'fraidy-cat or the top dog? Find out in Judy Schachner's charming musical encouraging kids to follow their dreams. Skippyjon Jones is the perfect outing for your kids and grandkids.
The production was very well put together! It kept the attention of both my 4 year old and his 7 year old friend...they both haven't been able to stop talking about it since! The characters, costumes, scenes and music where phenomenal! Overall this was an outstanding performance.
My great nephew and I had read countless times the adventures of Skippyjon Jones and were delighted to find that the Walnut had a stage production. It was wonderful to see his excitement and hear him laugh at what occurred on the stage. The most wonderful part was that it invited parents and children alike to interact with the characters as the story evolved. I heard my little one a few times exclaim; "Awesome!".
My grandson, who is 8 years old, and I went to see this play. From the moment the lights went down to the end we never spoke, we laughed out loud, we chuckled to ourselves, we smiled a lot. When the play was over we stood up and I got the biggest reward when he said he thought it was a very cool play and he thanked me! Better yet, this guy doesn't usually say much, but when we got to his house he went right up to his mother and told her about it. Thank you Skippyon Jones and the wonderful polished and talented cast. The Skippyjon Jones character was awesome! Actually everyone was.
If you want to give a theater experience to your children, but do not want Broadway prices, this is perfect. Designed for children, keeps them amused and entertained. Good story line, follows the book and children can play along. An hour is a perfect length and seeing the characters afterwards was so much fun! Walnut Street Theater knows children.
Skippyjon Jones tickets were part of our grandson's birthday gift. He had a great time at the show because he had read the book and loved to see the scenes in action.
my4yr old granddaughter had a beautiful time, this was her first time seeing a play. her words "grandma this is special, I had so much fun" we sang songs all the way up walnut st
Just the right length for little ones. My 6-year-old loved the songs. I was surprised she paid attention the whole time!
Very well done production - my 8 year old loved it and wanted me you promise we could come see it again!
Cute kids show. My 5&7 year olds liked it. Not too long
My kids and I have been huge fans of the Skippyjon Jones series. The books are exceptionally well written adventures of the imagination that expose young children to Spanish language and culture while also being hilarious. The play started off a lil slow but gained momentum in the last half hour. I was especially disappointed that skippy was portrayed by a female and I thought they could've casted some more people of Latin decent. But overall is was an above average production that I would recommend to fans of the series.
