Truly Special
There is something truly special about this particular story — one that has been told by parents and grandparents to children for so long — being told by a cast of actors spanning multiple generations.

Important for Kids to Hear
The story is sweet, even bittersweet, about love and loss with a tremendous amount of pathos. I think it’s important that we introduce kids to concepts that aren’t necessarily sunny, but that are told to them in a warm and inviting way.

A Splendid Adaptation
“A splendid adaptation of the novel by Britain’s Margery Williams which has been reworked for the stage by Janet Allard...The Velveteen Rabbit will charm the socks off the children in the audience, and older folks should enjoy it as well."
