“You and your little one have never seen a version of Rapunzel quite like this!” – Time Out New York
“As much for the parents as it is for the kids!!” – Douglas Carter Beane (Xanadu, To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar, The Little Dog Laughed)
“Embrace your inner weirdness in this slap-happy merging of Commedia and the fairy tale Rapunzel! No matter what—no matter how ugly or dumb or strange you feel—just be yourself. Stop judging people! Open you mind! Be weird! The folks behind The Commedia Rapunzel took this note. And, hey, you should too.“ – Theatre Is Easy
