REVIEWS FOR THE LAND OF FORGOTTEN TOYS

Chicago Tribune (Chris Jones)

“And there are some delightful songs in the show … In fact, this score could compete with a lot of far more famous holiday attractions and if you’re a fan of pop Broadway, you might want to catch this show just to hear MarcAurele’s tunes.”

“The final number, “There is Always a Light,” brought a tear to my eye and I watched a gaggle of 'tween girls in the row ahead of mine all oohing and ah-ing with pleasure.”

BroadwayWorld (Misha Davenport)

“Grace's big song "Far Away From Here" … just might get little ones to say "let it go" to a certain other icy Disney song.”

Around the Town Chicago and Spotlight on Lake (Jeffrey Leibham)

“By the second musical number, Grace’s power ballad “Far Away from Here,” audience members actually sit up and take notice. … Dylan Marcaurele has composed a catchy score. Most memorable are the devilishly amusing “Green Christmas” sung by greedy Charlotta, the heartbreaking “If I Had a Kid Who Loved Me” sung by the ensemble of Forgotten Toys and the inspiring and emotional finale “There Is Always A Light.””

Chicago Theatre Review (Colin Douglas)

“Dylan MarcAurele has written a score that’s bouncy, memorable and a real delight. … The score is infectious”

Chicagoland Musical Theatre.com (Barry Reszel)

“…the songbook in this Land is anthemic, ballad-laden and all together lovely … some terrific tunes.”
