THE JURY SPEAKS!
"Roll Play is interesting for ALL age groups!! The music makes you want to stand up and dance dance dance!!! The kids are having FUN like all kids should!!! The music is very clear to understand and it has a good moral to the story. The puppets were a very good idea because it makes the story more clear and easier to understand. I am ten and I would love to watch it! I think kids all over the world would!"
"Roll Play is incredibly well written, the music is fantastic and the kids are great. It's a really tight and well crafted show. It is probably one of the only shows that I've seen that purports to engage with kids and actually inspires them to get off their bottoms, get up and move and dance and be active. It's a great show!"
