We were so lucky to be able to review Super Why Live. My girls love the show on PBS and it is such a fun show, I certainly didn't mind seeing the show. They did an amazing job keeping the show fast moving, and I loved how they handled all of the flying and scene changes. On the show, the characters are known to fly at times, or have the scene shift to a different place in the story. The live show … read full review here |

Well, I can't think of anything bad. Brenda at Pixie Vacations was great to work with. She was prompt in answering all our questions.

Her timing was perfect. If she had sent them to early I… read full review here |
