It was hilarious. I was laughing so hard I was crying and my cheeks hurt.
The cast and crew were very entertaining. Great / clever story line. Enjoyed the music and singing. Cast was very talented. Can't wait to see them in action again.
I have seen other "Don't Hug Me" productions and I didn't think the "Christmas Carol" quite measured up---we researched it for "family friendliness" before buying tickets and read that it was great fun for the whole family. However, we brought our 12 year old daughter and felt it was inappropriate for her with a lot of sexual inuendo and humor. We had some great laughs but would think twice before bringing children again.
I found this play enjoyable but definitely was not memorable or beyond expectations. I saw Don't Hug Me a few years back and absolutely loved it. I do not feel this show measured up to the original. With that said, it was a light, comical show that was entertaining if not spectacular.
I bought the tickets for my husband for a Christmas gift (We had never been to the Hennepin Stages before) but I really didn't know that it would be that good. Wow! VERY good cast that had us laughing through all of it. I have been talking about it for days :)
I thought it was very funny. We enjoyed the evening. I told my friends it is an up north stereotypical satire that was very well done.
I loved it! Took my dad and his wife as a Christmas present and they laughed theit butts off!
We were very disappointed - it was advertised as being "family" & we took our 3 granddaughters ages 11 to 14. The references to sex was in my opinion not suitable for children. I truly believe this was false advertising - this was for Adults Only.
The play was pretty funny but the seating was tight
A very good show with lots of good laughs. One liners are memorable. Great theater, just the right size. Worth it if you use a coupon!
Somewhat predictable but really enjoyed the humor. The singing was very good. If you like to laugh at us Minnesotans you will like this one.
So much fun!! We did not know what to expect I just went with what I read on the reviews. I was hoping for something family friendly and funny. For the most part it was family friendly and so funny. Would highly recommend if you like to laugh and have fun. Everyone in my family had a great time and I have 3 college age kids.
this musical play was hilarious!!!! the tunes were catchy and fun! it played into the stereotype of a northern minnesotan to a tee!
The writing, the acting and the message was wonderful. We strongly recommend setting aside an evening to attend 'A Don't Hug Me Christmas Carol." Some jokes missed, but most were spot on. At one point, I honestly laughed harder than I have in 3-4 years (The song, You Can Call me TIny). We had a great night! Merry Christmas!
LOVED IT - Great fun ! We didn't know what to expect; but what a great start to the Christmas season. The humor is along the lines of grandma got run over by a reindeer; all Minnesota. Incredible multi-talented cast - singing, dancing, acting. The songs and lyrics are the best. Get there 35 minutes before it starts - general admission seating.
A perfect holiday musical. My friends and I smiled and laughed from the very start to the very end of the show! A must see for anyone!
Lots of laughs. Great fun poking at MN lifestyle, accents, etc. Even took our kids and they enjoyed it (15 and 11). Some humor was above my 11 year old's head, but overall good fun. Probably rate it at a PG - 13 for those thinking of taking younger adults. Love the small intimate setting of the theatre.
This show was very funny! I have not laughed that much at a show in a long time. I have recommended it to a number of friends already!
A unique, fun and inventive play! Loved it. The stars were extremely talented and engaging. HOWEVER, the seating is crappy (or is it crappie) rows 3-4 do not allow you to see the stage, so I missed much of Kanute's gestures and couldn't see the 'kids' until they got on the bar to dance. Seats are packed so tight it's not just uncomfortable - it's ridiculous! (Unless you get there early enough to sit in the raised seats, it's really a bad situation.) Also, when I walked in it smelled like rotting cantaloupe, but you do get used to it.
Very well performed! Very funny as well!! I would definitely recommended it to everyone :)
