"The amazing part of this production is that the actors, who become puppeteers, do so to perfection. In fact, the puppets they handle become a true part of them
and even though we see their actual faces as they operate the characters, we forget that it is the human we are watching or hearing as we are focused on the
puppets in the play. I would have to say that the puppetry coach, Kevin C. Noonchester deserves a great amount of credit for his work and I am in hopes
that TheJeff Awards committee find a way to at least nominate him, if not reward him. Great job. Russ Walko’s puppets are amazing and very lifelike, but
it is the cast and their ability to bring these characters to life with their acting and singing- they are as good, oh hell, better, than any company I have
seen do this musical before!" -Around The Town Chicago 2014
"A special shout-out goes to puppetry coach Kevin Noonchester and puppet designer Russ Walko who make the show the triumph it is." -Chicagoland Theater Reviews 2014
"Kevin Noonchester knows the show well." -Broadway World 2013
"Kevin Noonchester masterfully choreographed the puppets." -The Acorn 2012
