Oregon Children's Theatre Tickets

This show was phenomenal from start to finish and I enjoyed it immensely. The acting talent was surprisingly great. For a cast of primarily children, I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful they all did (and not just "for kids" but as professionals). I thought the entire cast was worthy of praise and kudos for the roles which they expertly portrayed. The worm himself was awesome and I really enjoyed his childlike innocence and charm throughout the whole performance and the ant was amazing, he was feisty and humorous. The cast was also blessed with a great script. The writing of the play was creative and original, yet infused humor and education throughout. Writing and scripting paid great attention to detail. The butterfly was multicultural as she planned to fly to Mexico (based on the factual annual butterfly migration to Mexico). The spider molted his exoskeleton (portrayed as a witty parallel to puberty). And my favorite yet finite detail of the entire play was that each time the worm emerged from a stage hole (as he was always at least half underground emerging in various places on the state as the plot dictated) he always chucked "dirt" out ahead of him really cementing that a worm is truly always digging. It inexplicably made me chuckled each time and I looked forward to each time he would emerge! I generally don't like to make a big widesweeping statements about "best" or "worst," but I truly believe this was the best show I've seen since I've moved to Oregon a year ago. Magnificently done OCTC!!! I can't wait for the other shows this season.

I took my kids, ages 4 and 7 to this show and we had a blast! It was a hilarious show. I was surprised by how much we actually learned. The characters was very personable, and the kids related to them. It was fun for the whole family, I was laughing just as much as the kids were and everyone at the show seemed to be haviong a great time!

took my 2 & 4 year old grandchildren to their 2nd Children's Theatre event. Although I & my daughter-in-law enjoyed the show, we felt that the "all ages" designation was not appropriate especially for the 2 year old, and just barely for the 4 year old. Based on this, only rated the performance as "fair". I would not recommend this event for children under 5. It did not keep their attention and without some intermission, it was too long for them. Took them to "Giggles" last year and they both were captivated.

My 6 year old was mesmerized! When it was over he asked if they were going to come out again and if we could come see another play. Charming performances and the play worked in many of the best lines from the three books. Liked the overall message of everyone is special in their own way.

Quite entertaining for my 4 and 7 year old grandsons. the "rap" type background music made it difficult to hear the opening lyrics.

First time at this theatre and seeing a play from the OCT. Great first experience. My 4 yr old son and husband loved it, as did I. The cast, set and music were wonderful. My son was glued to the stage and characters. Would highly recommend seeing this play.

My daughter and I found this production to be over-the-top entertainment. The cast projected their extreme depth and talent as actors. My daughter in particular enjoyed fly.

Couldn't possibly have learned more while having that much fun. It is an original production that challenged us to understand environmental issues, multi-cultural interaction, and the tug-of-war between fitting in and being an individual, all the while impressed by the score and acting talent. The next day my wife and I overheard our two daughters swapping insect facts. The older daughter (12) exclaimed, "Now where did you learn that one?!" The younger (10) replied, "It was in the play!"

Not having attended a Rock Opera before I was pleasantly surprised by this one. The scene unfolded with out a hitch and the set changes flowed right with the music. The cast was highly skilled at encompassing the young audience and making them feel a part of the show.

I took my 6 yr old son to the concert and he had a fantastic time! It was a great show with excellent use of props, lighting, and crowd involvement. Very talented singing and dancing by the cast!

This was an AMAZING show. The energy, the music, the CAST! Everything was spectacular!

I thought it was great! First one I had been to and am looking forward to going to the next.

Loved the concept. Kids will enjoy the energy and characters. Adults will enjoy the 70's vibe and rock concert feel reminisant of Hair. Great cast.

My husband and I took our grand daughter to see Alice in Wonderland, The Rock Opera. It was a delightful mix of great music and a wild story. Perfect show length for kids, too. We all enjoyed ourselves and appreciate the opportunity to spend a fun time with our sweet girl in a theater setting.

I thought the Alice in Wonderland Rock Opera was great! Lots of fun and my newphews loved it. The set could have been a little cooler, but oh well, it was still awesome! The Newmark theatre was one of the coolest theatres I have been to. I will definitely go again!!

Fabulous twist on the age-old story of Alice! As always, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum shine as outstanding characters in a surprising interpretation. The Rabbit carried the show with a great voice! Technically, some actors seemed to not be on microphones which made their solos almost inaudible- like the opening Alice! Choreography was refreshing and fun!!!

I know, I know ... it was a rock opera, nevertheless it seemed very loud to me. But I enjoyed the color and the fun. Some wonderful songs -- especially the Mock Turtle. It helped to know the story ahead of time. My 9 year-old granddaughter was bemused. She is active in musical theater for children in San Francisco, but when I asked point-blank if she enjoyed it, she answered "No."

This is the first time we went to this type of play. It was fast and very entretaining. It reminded me of "CATS" The "tie-in" of Alice being bored, bored, bored, and her trip to Wonderland was a good twist, and well done. The actors, players, were talended and very athletic. A very enjoyable play.

Just before we left to see this rock opera, we talked briefly about the somewhat once popular idea of how this children's story was either loosly or purposefully connected with a drug-induced LSD "trip". Surely, we thought, it being a children's rock opera this idea wouldn't be given a second thought? But no-- we were saddened and disappointed to see that it most certainly was. Alice's original Wonderland, which was a colorful, whimsical, creative "free for all" was updated here to be more closely related to a "wonderland" that might be found in any inner-city's dangerous back ally. At one point, it even appeared to my adult daughter that bubbles were being blown through a bong. Costuming and sets were unimaginative, dark and dreary. Definitely, we were disappointed. However, a congratulations to the singer/actors for seeming to make the most of what they could with what they were given. Although we thought the choreography/dancing was at best fair, the music itself was enjoyable, overall. Though we adults could barely understand the words to the songs ( without the basic understanding of the original story, one could be pretty lost) melodies were strong and predictable enough to carry the story. In the end, there definitely was not enough for us to be excited or enthusiastic about for us to become subscribers, a sales pitch that was made to the entire audience before the opera began.
