Highly recommended." -Chicago Sun-Times "Light, cheerful and greatly entertaining ... laudably committed to its theatricality ... Eason's staging is full of the visual imagination ... It's all a great deal of fun." -Chicago Tribune "An engaging, family-friendly show. Highly recommended." -The Chicago Reader "Eason's affable adaptation plays up elements of Verne's novel that are sometimes forgotten ...
