The Frog Bride
Children's Theatre Company
Star Tribune- Recommended
"...But he engages the audience - adults and children alike. Noted raconteur Kevin Kling, who attended the opening performance, complimented his skill at making such a story so lively. Youngsters also were taken with the show, which is what it's all about. In his dramatic pauses, in his entrances and exits, Gonzalez makes "The Frog Bride" something that is both engaging and unexpected."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press- Recommended
"...Written, conceived and performed in exuberant storytelling style by David Gonzalez and directed by Lenard Petit, the show includes several interludes of music on piano and violin accompanied by videos of graphic art on a giant screen that backs the stage. These intermissions in the action do not move the story along -- and while artistic in themselves, they last a little too long, repeatedly curbing the momentum of the tale."

How Was The Show- Recommended
"...The storytelling is accompanied by music composed by Russian Sergei Prokoviev and Daniel Kelly, performed by Elise Parker on violin and Gregory Theisen on piano and keyboard. The music is more than just undertone. Gonzalez is a confident enough performer to allow the music to take full stage at times so the audience can absorb the classical compositions for a long few minutes. This is admirable trust in one’s audience. In the performance I attended there were few squirms and no anxious comments during the music interludes, just still attention to the music."
