Mom's view: Tuck Everlasting is a fun fanciful musical about a family that has discovered the secret to immortality and the girl who discovers their secret. The show is based on the classic book by Natalie Babbitt. Whether you have read the book or not if you like a mostly upbeat show with some good songs, you will enjoy this show. The show is loaded with talented performers from newcomer, Sarah Charles Lewis as the spunky Winnie Foster to seasoned veterans like Carolee Carmello as Mae Tuck and Terence Mann as The Man in the Yellow Suit. There are some parts of the story that may not be suitable for young children including a girl being carried off against her will and a man being knocked out and possibly killed. However, older children would probably enjoy this show. If you have read the book do not expect the show to be an exact replica of it. However, the changes that have been made are not so drastic as to take away from the enjoyment of the story. For more about the show or to find how to order tickets, go to www.tuckeverlastingmusical.com, and and do it quickly because unfortunately, the show will be closing this Sunday May 29, 2016. For discount tickets on the remaining performances go to https://www.telechargeoffers.com/offeroverview.aspx?productid=10956 and use code TUCKOFFER. Don't miss your chance to see this entertaining show.
And that's Mom's view. Tune in to tomorrow's Talking Topics post for Aurella's view of The Art and Whimsy of Mo Willems and Tuck Everlasting.
