Critic Reviews

60	TV Guide Maitland McDonagh A fresh and spirited fairy tale.
50	Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard Only really comes to exuberant life during the musical numbers.
50	New York Post Lou Lumenick Writer-director Julian Henriquez does a great job staging the lively musical numbers.
50	The New York Times Stephen Holden Would much rather wallow in music than develop the strands of a story.
