See it if you like puppets. These are beautiful handhelds so you can see the multitalented singing dancing puppeteers. Simple but suspenseful plot
Don't see it if you're bringing children over the age of 12. I sat near a pre-teen school group who whispered checked email & had little interest in show
See it if you enjoy a children's program about an extinct species. Nice costumes, puppets and songs. Talented cast.
Don't see it if you want a show for adults or very young children. The story is not easy for very young kids and is 80 minutes without intermission. Read more
See it if you enjoy prehistoric history, and interestingly crafted puppets.
Don't see it if impressive performers.

Score: 98% "Did I mention the live orchestra? It's just another piece of deliciousness in this wonderfully joyful production."
