“Christi Pedigo is a talented, versatile actress and writer, and she has created Bunny the Elf out of her own experiences working as a Christmas Elf at FAO Schwarz in New York… Pedigo’s performance is pitch-perfect throughout: the slightly loopy voice, the radiant smile, the limitless physicality, the endearing sincerity project a character we can’t help but love… Pedigo’s work in this show is thoroughly impressive. Her writing is honest and witty… Pedigo has found a wonderful vehicle in Bunny to showcase both her acting and writing talent…”
