“‘A Seussified Christmas Carol’ is a really good play. It’s really funny and the actors are great. It’s the perfect play to see with your family and friends. There are great actors and the costumes are funny. You will love this play! – Kendall Colwell

“‘A Seussified Christmas Carol’ is a great play. It’s based upon the novel, ‘A Christmas Carol,’ except the people are dressed up as Dr. Seuss characters. Everything rhymes. It has a bunch of emotion. The actors are great. It is worth watching! – Raja Blankenship

“Overall ‘A Seussified Christmas Carol’ play was a creative and funny play but I have two little changes that I would make. First off, younger kids talk fast but Thing 1 and Thing 2 brought it to a whole new level. I could understand bits and pieces but it was confusing at times. Maybe have them slow down. Second, I know it’s just a play and we’re supposed to have fun, but every scene ran right into each other. But other than those two changes, the show was creative, funny, different, and cool. I would give it 3.5 stars. Great job!” – Ava McCall 

“The play was phenomenal! The actors were great. I really liked the characters Thing 1 and Thing 2. I wished the ghosts would have been able to magically appear. That would have been cool. If I could have changed anything, I would have added fake snow falling and more decorations. This would make the play even more amazing!” – Navarah
