"A MUST- SEE, BLISSFULLY-RAUCOUS, BIG-BUDGET BROADWAY CALIBER PRESENTATION...One of SCR's MOST ENTERTAINING MUSICAL PRODUCTIONS EVER...gets a hyper-hybrid treatment helmed by Jenn Thompson, combining memorable, nostalgic elements inspired by the original but then infusing it with super-fun 21st-century sass and sensibilities. Alongside its JAW DROPPING VISUAL SPLENDOR —highlighted by its gigantic carnivorous star that literally takes over the stage by the second act—the show also features a SUPERB, talented ensemble cast that sing and dance up a storm."
- Broadway World

WELL-DIRECTED production pays off for the sheer fun of it with animated pacing and a SATISFYING cast."

"FLAWLESS...DELICIOUS...A FIVE-STAR DELIGHT! From the sets to the music, acting and incredible singers voices, SCR doesn't miss a beat! Helmed by Jenn Thompson with
