"A charming adaptation that supports Penguin’s dreams while not ignoring the basic laws of aerodynamics...Simple and straightforward enough to be understood by a 3-year-old, but engaging enough to amuse a parent, 'Flight School' also owes its successful takeoff to Wendy Seyb’s fast-paced direction and Bobby Pearce’s costumes...The production’s biggest boon, however, may be its score."

"'Flight School: The Musical' is the perfect show for young kids. One charming, engaging song follows another, and the dialogue is clever and easy to follow. I often glanced over to watch the reactions of my kids (ages four and seven), and they were enthralled throughout the entire show. They danced and played air guitar with Pelican, and my daughter hardly breathed during Penguin’s song about being on his own...I highly recommend an afternoon with Penguin and his friends."

"There is definitely something for both adults and children to enjoy here. With a run time of 50 minutes, the show is the ideal length for younger children. The ensemble is quite ripe with talent. There isn’t a weak link. The actors brilliantly include their young audience whilst keeping the story moving forward. This is a show I would definitely recommend for a young audience to see. Loads of fun all around!"
