MR. MALCOLM'S MUSIC FACTORY

A sweet and adorable show for kids!... full review

This was a sweet show with a nice message for kids or anyone! It had that element of humor that kids wouldn't get but parents appreciate, kinda like Sesame Street (though also made the kids laugh too!). It was fast-moving and interactive to keep little kids engaged and the puppeteers were fantastic. ... full review

Great Show ! The BEST show for younger audiences that I have ever seen in my years of attending the Hollywood Fringe Festival. Anyone and everyone with kids who support live theater should attend this wonderfully put together hour of entertainment with puppets. Older people like myself will appreciate the Nostalgia that comes to mind while watching this performance. Think Captain Kangaroo, The Banana Splits, HR Puffenstuff, Romper Room, and of course that Poppyseed Street. I must admit also that SNL Skit with Bill Hader and Seth McFarnlane with puppets popped into my head during the show. ... full review

How refreshing to see a family show at the Hollywood Fringe that is not only nicely performed by a talented cast of pro puppeteers, but also has a well-written story with a great message for both kids and adults. It's a testament to the show that it appeared to be sold out on a Saturday morning at 11:00 a.m. I highly recommend this to everyone, not just for kids, but people in general, ages four to 100. Although I love all types of genres and stories at the Hollywood Fringe, I must say this was a very fun diversion from the usual fare.... full review

What a fantastic show! Family friendly and highly enjoyable! There were many laughs, lots of audience participation, and a valuable message. We are all still humming the tunes, too! ... full review

I’m not normally a review writer but Mr. Malcom’s Music Factory was awesome! It brought me back to my childhood in the best ways possible. All of the energy and focus was devoted to kids having a great experience and learning about music and “big feelings.”I write this as my kids are watching Lego Ninjago in the other room and singing and clapping along a whole lot less than they were with Mr. Malcolm and friends… quite a stark contrast and a good reminder that this type of constructive and educational content has to be sought out these days more than it was in the past. My boys were singing in the car on the way home and had a great time. ... full review

My overall impression was the writer/director and cast have worked really hard to bring not only some fun through music, but a wonderful message to the stage. If you have kids, nieces, nephews, or if you just want to be entertained and have your spirits lifted this show is for you. We could all use a positive break from our daily life, and from someone who also works with children, they do too!... full review
