Star Tribune - Highly Recommended

"..."Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat," which was adapted by playwright Katie Mitchell for Britain's Royal National Theatre, made its U.S. premiere Friday at the Children's Theatre in Minneapolis. Playfully directed by Jason Ballweber, the physically deft production stretches out Dr. Seuss' antic but thin text. The one-hour show captures children and adults alike with its silly, frolicsome fun."

How Was The Show - Recommended

"... As a reviewer I can harrumph and belch cynically as much as I choose, but with CTC the question is always: did the kids like it? The answer: yes, they did. They laughed and fell all over themselves. They will certainly have a good time at The Cat In The Hat. Parents will have to make their separate peace with the overly familiar material – and with the high ticket prices. As always, my advice is: let Grandma and Grandpa take the kids to CTC while you crack open that long-hoarded bottle of vino."

Aisle Say Twin Cities - Highly Recommended

"...The Children’s Theatre productions are so masterful, so pleasurable, so dynamic and so consistently great that it can be easy to take the constant excellence for granted. Adapted for the stage by Katie Mitchell for Britain’s Royal National Theatre, The Cat in the Hat premieres in the United States here. There is a both a faithfulness to the book, and a particular whimsy that belongs entirely to the staging."
