Relevant, For kids only

See it if you are taking kids with you - gets across the theme of protecting animals and the environment.

Don't see it if you don't go with children so you can appreciate the performance through their reactions - otherwise it is mostly mediocre and repetitive. Read more

Disappointing, Intelligent, Educational, Good acting

See it if you like shows that teach kids a lesson and you don't mind shows where people play animals that talk.

Don't see it if you don't like shows with a message or shows with talking animals.

Delightful, Entertaining, Fun, Cute, Moralistic

Don't see it if you don't have kids with you or if you are offended by a rather sexy cheetah in a children's show - that was rather odd.

“‘Endangered’ will have you snapping your fingers and tapping your feet. Each animal has an individual personality, and they are well physicalized. The fabulous and fun costumes by Collin Ranney lend both a comic as well as outrageous touch to each one’s characterization…They are all tremendously talented…‘Endangered’ is a wonderfully entertaining show. Although it is geared toward children...it also delivers an important message for our time.”

“It’ll keep both toddlers and school-aged kids entertained...It even comes with an important lesson that kids will remember long after they leave the theater...The music was indeed uplifting and catchy...Scurlock is the undeniable star of the show. Her incredibly powerful voice is very special. Theo Errig, as the kid, was adorable and had a sweet voice…The show was fun and energetic. I loved that there was a message for the kids that they could easily understand and relate to.”

“Both compulsively entertaining and ecologically friendly…Laced with levity and wit…If you want your children to receive a tuneful tutorial on environmental justice...‘Endangered’ is your ticket to a great afternoon of self-assured, entertaining drama. Fine has delivered an urban ‘Lion King’ without the 'Hamlet' high jinks but replete with the passions of this political and cultural moment. And there’s much for the adults to benefit from Fine’s received wisdom, too.”
