This is a fun show to take your kids to see. I sat next to a 10-year old who was spellbound for the entire show. I loved the group numbers with all the animals (the children) on the ark. And for the last number, I wanted to jump up and dance with all of them on the stage. It was a fabulous production with some pretty cool computer animation on the stage for scenery. You'll love it and so will your kids!

I encourage you to disregard the cynical review in the Times. Did the woman know that only the six main characters were paid professional actors? All of the other roles (200+/-) are played by people who donated their time and talent to work on this event. It's a wonderful gathering of young children, teens, and adults who present a beautiful, entertaining, and touching evening! We loved it and will go again! Our children were so excited and entertained. It was a great family outing. We urge you to go and feel the grace of humanity that's so often overlooked in our city. Ignore the bitter few who can't see the love and beauty shared by members of our community.

This is a show with both great musicality and an even greater amount of heart. You will not be disappointed!

I have never written a "review" before, but I saw Norman's Ark last night and thought it was one of the best shows I've seen in many years. It was absolutely terrific. When I read the review in the LA times this morning, I was astounded that the reviewer didn't love it as much as me and my family (3 kids 8, 11 and 16)-she must have seen a different play. The music was absolutely GREAT, the kids were so cute and talented, and the choir was just amazing. We're going again. Don't miss this, it's a real treat.

I go to LOTS of musicals. And this one was very special. It was warm, funny, emotional, and don't tell my friends, but life affirming. When the animals (kids) came down the aisles, I burst into tears. I wish I had kids of my own to take. But I'm certainly gonna bring my jaded friends to this and show them what real heart it. Thanks to everyone. Everyone must see this.

I have never reviewed before, so I don't exactly know what to say. But I just saw NORMAN'S ARK with my family at the FORD (brrrrrrr!) and I loved it. More importantly my kids, 7 and 9 were rivited. I saw the show on Kidsoffthecouch.com and I'm glad I got them off to see this show. Loved the story, loved the music and loved the choirs and kids.

I am here with my family and a friend told us about this dress rehearsal. I work in the theatre in the UK (in West Yorkshire) and I thought it would be fun to see how you do it here across the pond. Honestly, it was a bit of a theatrical miracle. All those children, all those choirs, all those beautiful sets.I wonder if the authors knew the Britten piece Noye's Fludd. This seemed like an American version. I was gobsmascked.
