Published Reviews

This charming musical brings home a point worth considering at any age: embrace what you fear, and you just may find a friend.

The New York Times

If you're looking for a fun family-oriented, live performance, check out Wanda's Monster.

Mommy Delicious

I personally loved how the musical taught kids-and adults!-to embrace their fears and accept others that may be different.

Time Out New York Kids

A rocking score, terrific performances, and a script that refuses to talk down to the audience.

NY Metro Parents

I have to admit I walked out of the theater singing those catchy tunes and making noises like a monster. I'm a big kid at heart and I was allowed to let the kid out during that musical.

SO Family

Wanda's Monster is a 60 minute performance without an intermission. Which was perfect for my little one...he was enchanted by the music and just loved the adorable monster.

Mommy Posh

It doesn't get any better when your child is entertained throughout the entire show.
