THE PLAY: Winnie the Pooh and his friends have an adventure in the Hundred Acre Wood.

 

THE PRODUCTION: When you produce a show with such recognizable characters (albeit usually animated), it’s important to embrace the innocent charms of A.A. Milne’s stories. This production is a lovely interpretation with a delightful cast that captures the simplicity and unique personalities of each familiar individual. Adam Turck is a promising new presence (and audience fave) bringing boundless energy and delightful comic chops to his Tigger. Bruce Miller, who directed and adapted the music, knows how to construct a show for kids: brief simple scenes, plenty of physical humor and a sprinkling of short, snappy songs. The technical elements are all attractive and appropriate.

 

THE POINT: A visit to this House hosts fun and simple charms for fans of the iconic characters.
