Below are some of our favorite excerpts from ArtsFuse’s review of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane. We thank them for their review, and we have provided a link below to read it in full.
“[…] Nearly everyone in the cast pulls double duty, playing more than one of the strange characters encountered by Edward (including a hobo and his dog, a chef who talks in pure gibberish, and a pair of dolls who watch over a toy store). The acting aims to be larger than life, clear and accentuated enough for the younger audience members to latch on to without being silly enough to put off their parents (and me). Julia Shikh is at once commanding and tender as the Grandmother, and Olga Sokolova gives an endearing and heartbreaking performance, albeit brief, as Sarah Ruth. There are so many strong performances here it is difficult give all the actors the credit they deserve; this is one of the happiest problems an ensemble production can present a critic.”
