Press Reviews

"Highly recommended as the surprise standout of the year for all ages."

— Broadway World

"At an hour long, Super Sidekick is a quick moving, no frills adventure kids are sure to enjoy.  And for the big people that brought them, there are well-rounded performances, a couple of solid gags, and expertly crafted lyrics to keep their interest peaked, too… Gregory Crafts’ book is funny and clear, providing a good foundation for Michael Gordon Shapiro’s brilliant lyrics, which get more impressive the closer one listens."

— NYTheatre.com

"Perfect for small children, with audience participation, a perfect hour run-time and catchy musical numbers."

— L.A. Theatre Review

"The team behind Super Sidekick: The Musical have perfected the art of live-action cartoon… even as a grown-up I found it humorous, saucy, and a lot of fun!"

— The Happiest Medium

"Not only is the story delightful but the lyrics are too… When I went, the audience was filled with grown-ups who acted like kids in their total enjoyment of the piece and the actual kids that were there had an even better time."

— Hi! Drama
