"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea takes audiences to a trippy underwater wonderland! The special effects are so compelling you can't take your eyes off the stage." (Toronto Star)

"STUNNING! Some of the most adept and innovative stagecraft I have ever seen! A sumptuous experience for the senses!" (Mooney on Theatre)

"Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea is extraordinary... a fantastical fusion of low-tech puppetry and high-tech projections... Panamania, is off to a gold medal start... Don't let this ship sail without climbing aboard." (Drew Rowsome theatre blog)
