"Jason Moore's energetic staging actually looks better in a smallish off-Broadway house than it did in the 800-seat John Golden Theatre."

"They may have no legs of their own, but darned if those fuzzy creatures aren’t still standing, long after more full-bodied competition has bitten the dust."

The New York Times

"Of all the musicals hatched in the post-2000 age of irony, this cheeky satire of children's television shows like 'Sesame Street' has arguably remained the freshest and funniest. Returning to its off-Broadway origins, the 2004 Tony winner shows no discernible signs of downsizing and no loss of heart."
