Zona L. – Turkey Hill Players (Belleville, IL) –
We had 17 theatre camp children aged 9, 10, and 11 and they were the hit of the evening. (We had shows from three age groups.) The audience of about 150 loved the music and the message and expressed it throughout the show. My teachers were all amazed at the ease of learning this show. Our campers had four days of about two hour and a half rehearsals and an hour and a half on Friday and they performed flawlessly with lots and lots of energy. I will be talking this show up to others who do children’s theatre.
Charles I. – Fitzgerald Elementary School (Waltham, MA) –
First off, I wanted to tell you how much the students, parents, my colleague and myself enjoyed teaching, performing, and watching Journey of the Noble Gnarble. It was a great hit and really helped to bring our school community together! I would love to work with you again as it was such a great experience. And I can’t tell you how long I have spent looking for musicals under 30 minutes that are good. Either I am really bad at searching, or there is a lack of good children’s musicals.
Matt C. – Act One Scene One (Brockton, MA) –
The audience went WILD at the end when Joey (our Gnarble) “saw sky” and appeared at the top of the ocean! People have had nothing but positive things to say about it. Moreover, our 117 students had a blast singing your ever-so-catchy score and acting out this fun, fresh, and FIN-tastic story. (…and I had so much fun teaching it). When Carol stumbled upon this show a few weeks ago, I knew she had found something special, and I truly believe it is a gem! It is wonderful to know that people like you are writing quality pieces of children’s theatre.
Natalie M. – Chickasaw Nation Performing Arts (Ada, OK) –
I wanted to share with you a little bit about our Gnarble. He is such great kid, 9 years old, kind heart. He typically really struggles focusing at all in his classes; this kiddo was not one that came to mind when we walked into auditions last week. When he auditioned for this part, we were absolutely floored with his incredible voice and passion for the music and character. After the show, I was rushing around trying to make sure every kid was getting to their parents, that they all had their personal belongings, etc. Our Gnarble ran up to me and hugged me so tight and said “thank you for letting me be good at something!” and ran away. Of course this Director was fighting tears as I hugged this beautifully spirited child. I wanted to thank you for giving “my” kids such a heartfelt and beautiful avenue to feel like superstars.
Suzanne P. – PS 20 Queens (New York, NY) –
Our kids were phenomenal! The show was a huge success. We absolutely loved this musical. The music and songs are amazing. We can’t wait to pick out our next play from your website for next year.
Ann E., St Patrick’s Primary School (Mentone, VIC, Australia) –
The performance was a complete success. We used the book as a stimulus for our curriculum as part of a Community Arts Project: Learning through the Arts. Our Plink was a great big whale like fish on wheels that was covered in scales, each one with a child’s drawing of their dream. It is staying on display in our school as a sculpture until the end of the year. After the show we showed a DVD of our journey along the way and then parents were invited to go to the classrooms to view the children’s Art/class work, journals etc. Thank you for your inspirational book and show!
Alissa H. – Brattleboro Music Center (Brattleboro, VT) –
The show was a big success! We had 13 girls aged 7-12 and we only had 15 hours together total! Costumes and sets were simple but very effective and girls and the story were the stars! We could not have been happier with our Beat by Beat experience. Thank you! Can’t wait to hear what you are working on next!
Jessica M. – Bronx Arts Ensemble (Bronx, NY) –
The kids had fun and the parents loved the show. Please write another 30-minute sung-through show! They are perfect for our younger groups.
Debbi B. – Broadway, Our Way! (Lincolnwood, IL) –
The kids have loved their “Journey” to the ocean floor! …and have each achieved things they’ve never done before! Our two performances over the weekend were a huge success. The audiences loved watching “Gnarble” as much as the kids enjoyed performing it. Our cast members ranged in age from 5 to 12. Thank you so much for writing a show so perfect for this age group.
Carol T. – Act One Scene 1 (Brockton, MA) –
JOURNEY OF THE NOBLE GNARBLE was in one word – magic! For all of us who participated in bringing it to our stage there were feelings of joy, delight and pride in our kids who gave it their best. Nothing gets better than watching and hearing your students connect…with each other and with their audiences. Thank you for bringing this gem to us, for your creativity and talent. We truly wanted to succeed for you as well as our company. I believe we did if audience reaction and ovations were any indications. . . happy, happy, happy! I look forward to more Beat by Beat by Beat by Beat.
Lisa B. – Gilbert Primary School (Gilbert, SC) –
We recently performed Journey of the Noble Gnarble at our school, and everyone LOVED, LOVED it; I’d say it’s probably my most favorite show of my 21 years of teaching music!! I’m one of your newest biggest fans, I’ve been telling every music teacher I know that they need to check you out.
Jacquie J. – International School of Minnesota (Eden Prairie, MN) –
We had a fantastic performance which was enjoyed by all! The music and style was perfect for our group. The evening performance was attended by families and friends of the children performing, and was a great success! I envisioned a tropical underwater scene of luminous colors, and had a blast shopping for costumes! The Warckels even came with their own seaweed covered Eifel Tower! Once inside the Plink’s mouth, the lights were dimmed and the cast waved colorful glow sticks for effect – it was such fun! By far the favorite costumes were the Subbalubbles which perfectly matched their “sassy” characters – “type casted” using 4 appropriate 5th graders!! We are looking forward to working more in the future with the Beat by Beat team!
Nanci D. – Worth County R-III Schools (Grant City, MO) –
I have been involved with theatre for over 25 years, and it was the most all-inclusive, low-stress production we have ever done. The kids and the audience loved it! It was simple and kid-friendly, and had such a great message! Thank you for such a great product, that can be used with such ease!
Jade – Hillcrest Elementary – (Lake Wales, FL) –
The kids have had a blast with this musical, and I can’t wait to start browsing your collection for next year!
Chuck G. – Holy Name School (Camden, NJ) –
The performance was last week and went incredibly well! My fifth graders at Holy Name School in Camden, NJ just crushed it! They had an opportunity to perform in front of donors, their school, family and parents! They had never attempted anything like this before and I could not be more pleased and proud!
Thank you for your talents in creating such amazing vehicles to introduce the magic of musical theatre to both the schools I’m associated with!
We did GNARBLE and they just tore it up!

Just wanted to tell you all that our production of Noble Gnarble that had been postponed 2 years because of covid was a rousing success when we finally did it this week. We put together the show in 8 days and the audiences and families are raving about the production, the story, the super catchy tunes, and the lovely script. We had so much fun with the characters (our “Warkles” was a giant crab, Noble Gnarble was a puppet, and Subbalubbles were sharks, so fun!!) and the backing tracks and soundtracks made it a breeze to rehearse. Thank you again for creating such quality and meaningful musical theater.
