"This effort is clever, comical and boisterous...Parents can be forgiven for wondering if this isn’t too big a dose of gender, not to mention ethnic, stereotypes. But the wryly satirical 'Snow What' never offends. And the story doesn’t stick with tired traditions. Nieve Qué takes up sword-fighting and feminist attitudes."

"The doggone delightful kids musical 'Skippyjon Jones Snow What (& the 7 Chihuahuas)' comes with an easygoing lesson: Imagination can lead you anywhere you want to go...Del Aguila’s terrific cast of actors, many of whom play more than one role, and fleet staging for Theatreworks USA remind that you don’t need a big budget to make a big impact. A magic mirror trick and a fluffy woodland chorus make for dandy visuals. The show doesn’t just teach about imagination. It follows its own lesson."

"Let’s face it: Any review is irrelevant to the target audience for 'Skippyjon Jones Snow What,' which is unlikely to read one. But then, that audience is unlikely to read anything, period. This new musical is aimed at children who don’t need critics to tell them that they’ll enjoy it. So will the grown-ups who go along: This rollicking show isn’t cloying in the least...I laughed like I was in pre-K, too."

"As a mother of two kids, I’ve seen my share of “family friendly” productions. And if I’m being honest, sometimes I’m cringing. Other times, I find myself having a ball right next to my kids. Skippyjon Jones falls in that latter category...Interestingly enough, many of my companions, a group of 8-9 year olds agreed with me about the show’s highlights...the play rated a solid 3.5 out of 4 stars from the campers. Depending on who’s going, that assessment might be a great deal more important than my B."

"Officially aimed at children ages 3 to 9, 'Skippyjon Jones Snow What' is a great first-time theater experience for young children. It's only an hour and, though it doesn't have any audience interaction, it's extremely engaging with peppy, Mariachi-infused songs."
