March 28, 2011: AWESOME ALLIE is “a unique, musical quest for friendship reminiscent of The Wizard of Oz. … Given all that has been happening on planet Earth lately, it seems like a perfect moment to take off into outer space, and that’s exactly what Allie, a nine-year-old dreamer from Skokie, Illinois, sets out to do. Lucky for us (or for the two through seven year olds I saw enjoying the show this weekend), Allie gets her chance. … A funny, quirky musical that educates as it entertains.” (Broadwayworld)

March 26, 2011: AWESOME ALLIE receives a featured recommendation from Time Out New York Kids Executive Editor Rory Halperin on CBS News.  “A fun new musical … great for kids and for parents … Kids of all ages will take away something different from it.” (CBS New York, video embedded on page)

March 22, 2011: “An out-of-this-world show for kids of all ages. … Spunky and original … catchy and clever … Awesome Allie is a welcome choice for kids and adults more interested in stars than glitter.” (Time Out New York)

March 15, 2011: “Awesome Allie is out of this world … Scott Elmegreen’s script does a great job of conjuring up a realistically kooky kids’ world all its own. … Allie’s far-out details  really seem like they were spawned by a child’s imagination, and broad humor cracks kids up. … Like the other children in the audience, my daughter and her friend sat rapt throughout the hour-long tuner.” (Mommy Poppins)
