"We just wanted to write and say thanks for coming to Salt Lake with your OUTSTANDING and VERY FUN show!  My daughters have tucked away their programs with your signature on them.  They are so proud of them.  We hope you will come back to our city in the near future with another one of your shows.  They are so valuable for our children and the appreciation they gain for beautiful music and clean, fun and entertaining shows such as yours are MUCH needed in our society today.  We anxiously await your return.  Thanks again!!" -- The Sommer Family, Kaysville Utah

"Thank you soooooo much for your performance at DeVos Hall (Grand Rapids 2/25).  The show was enchanting !  I left feeling warmed and filled with smiles!!!  I know this was meant for children... my 5 year old son enjoyed the performance as well.  I was thrilled  he could have the introduction to so many types of music in one hour AND this also made for excellent conversation.  Thank you for such a wonderful experience ( I could have watched it many more times). -- Holly Henderson, Parent, Grand Rapids, MI

"Saw your incredibly polished, professional show with my daughter yesterday and was delighted and moved by that story of searching, transformation and rebirth.  The music was great too!  Thank you Peter and Danielle!  P.S. I have never seen a performance that has moved me to write before." -- Monica Fiederer, Victoria, BC

"I've played for countless young-peoples concerts and found your production to be the most entertaining and interesting one I've ever seen.  I can't imagine a Symphony in North America that wouldn't benefit from working with the folks at Platypus Theatre.  Thanks for providing a valuable and unique product to the Symphonic market.  May you continue to be more and more successful - and hurry back to Utah!" -- Kenny Hodges, Musician, Salt Lake City
