"A musical replete with light, tuneful ditties with witty lyrics that remind you of Into the Woods without the angst. ...What's winning about this Rapunzel is that no one is helpless especially the female characters. The show is about helping each other out, providing what another person may lack. ...With robust humor and compassion, Rapunzel shows the importance of just letting go."
