Sleeping Beauty and Her Winter Knight Reviews
LA Weekly- Recommended
"...Despite predictable, family-friendly contours, this self-aware production wedges in plenty of jokes about Game of Thrones and Tinder for the adults, while providing a fresh take on a familiar tale - and valuable training in audience participation - for the kids."
Edge- Recommended
"...Directed by Bonnie Lythgoe, best known for her choreography and involvement in "So You Think You Can Dance," she creates magic on the stage with actors of all ages who are all engulfed in their roles and having so much fun doing so. Musical director Michael Orland ("American Idol") provides the music and his sound radiates through the playhouse making for a truly entertaining evening."
Stage Scene LA- Recommended
"...Lythgoe Family Productions returns to the Pasadena Playhouse for the third December in a row with Sleeping Beauty And Her Winter Knight, this year's Panto proving every bit as delightful to 2014 SoCal audiences of all ages as the distinctively English form of musical entertainment has been doing for the past two or three centuries in Jolly Old England."
Examiner- Recommended
"...Parents looking to create lasting holiday memories with their children can't find a better interactive show."
Broadway World- Recommended
"...It's all in amusement, of course, and this year's Sleeping Beauty and Her Winter Knight is enormous fun with a dynamite cast and some spectacular dancing and singing… and, first and foremost, an overall enjoyably good script by Kris Lythgoe that flows along without a flaw."
