See it if You want to experience a blast from the past with a few cute Carol King songs and an adorable story. Great for families.
Don't see it if You are expecting a full on Broadway type show with an amazing story. Don't go if you're expecting a mature, or serious show. Read more
See it if You have children who can focus on the play, it was fun. The actors are terrific.
Don't see it if You don't have children accompany you. Read more
See it if You want to enjoy an entertaining musical created by Maurice Sendak and Carole King. The show is more for children above age 10. Great cast!
Don't see it if You prefer more adult oriented fare.However, it is very enjoyable for adults. The lead performers,with School of Rock experience, are great
See it if you want to expose your children to theater with a short and accessible kid's show.
Don't see it if you are expecting Encore's usually intelligent and thoughtful pick - this is for a totally different audience.
See it if To an individual the entire child cast is superb and multitalented; happy to see so many families attend
Don't see it if The caliber of the creatives (from their other work) did not seem to translate into a coherent book or musical in this specific case
See it if You are a child, or have fond memories of this from your childhood.
Don't see it if You aren't already a fan of the show, a child, or a fan of kids' theater. Sendak & King don't stint on cutesy; 70 minutes are plenty. Read more
See it if you have kids, want fun for the entire family, enjoy short and quirky shows, and if you loved the cartoon short film
Don't see it if you aren't a fan of kid shows or Carole King music, you like more traditional musicals, or you want a thought-provoking evening. Read more
See it if Precocious kids hogging the spot light make you happy. These kids can sing but don't have a lot of depth
Don't see it if You want subtle and interesting characterizations. This is a kids show. And not a great one

"Wow, can these kids sing and dance!...The story has some hints of Maurice Sendak’s typically darker, scary aspects, but mostly it’s bright, energetic and sometimes silly. Carole King’s tuneful songs have become classics for children, and they’re still bouncy and fun to hear. At one point, Sendak’s speaking voice was heard, seriously explaining how children survive through their ability to fantasize, and 'Really Rosie' is a wonderfully entertaining example of that."
